These guys seem to like it and it is only $29.99 on Steam so may buy it.

Tried it out, and it's pretty dreadful. The translation is quite bad. I'm
not a big graphics whore (half my gaming is on roguelikes), so the graphics
weren't a big deal. The interface seems to be poor, too. It's a party-based
game, but you can't shift-click to add someone to a party. Maybe there's
another way to do it besides boxing? The party AI does auto-attack, at
least.

It's just so generic, there's nothing really to recommend about it.
Everything is second rate in it, at best. The story may be interesting past
the first couple hours or so, but I can't get past how confusing the dialog
is.

OK, may pass then but will wait for some more reviews before deciding
for sure. But hey, I bought 'Gods: Lands of Infinity' so am a sucker for
any potential RPG.

Bought Divine Divintiy for $5.99 from gog.com yesterday and it seems
pretty ok for the price. Even has widescreen 1680x1050 res.
