I don't know.

Really it feels a lot like a simple Diablo clone.

What we can say is that WildTangent considers itself a maker of casual games
and to them this is a casual game from what they were telling me at E3.

My point is there is not much of a definition of what a casual game is.

I consider most of the new indie games to be casual games.

I see people on this list that seem to be pushing for a much lighter 
definition of what casual means. Game that are played for just 10 
minutes for example vs
games are simply easy to get into.
