You mean I should have started a new thread about this same game in the same forum now that it's nearing completion? Are you fucking retarded?

I commented on the thread in general, I didn't respond to anyone in particular "as if part of the original conversation".

Also, die in fire and stop spamming this thread with your off-topic nonsense.

nomask7 Could you please post some more detailed impressions on this game? Haven't heard about this for a long time, I thought it was released and forgotten eons ago. I am particulary interesed in character development and addictions to the game since... 3 years ago or sth.

Sorry, I can't comment on improvements beyond what you can read about on their Steam page. I've only played it for a couple of hours so far - just stumbled upon it today. The early game is (still) brutal, but 'sneaking' around a dungeon and finding better armor or weapons in a chest is all the more rewarding for it. There's some good info on the Steam page though:

Also, you can now play without perma death. Not sure if that was the case previously (other than via save-scumming I guess).

This game... the dev has some balls, though. Four+ years in early access hell and still no bundle fodder.

So, is this dead or something? i had hopes but as usual people cant deliver *sigh*

It just had a massive update. They are working on the next patch which brings enchantments and a few other niggles. The game has had several mechanical revamps. The dev is working on it as much as he can, and he is quite passionate for his project.

The game is a dungeon crawler, and it never pretends to be anything else. The level scaling issue has been reworked, and the world has different difficulties across different areas of the world. Should you pick this up? How much do you love the game loop? Explore surface for towns and dungeons -> explore dungeon -> too hard? go elsewhere -> level up -> find loot -> sell in town. I like the game, it is turn based, and it offers a nice relaxing crawl. The game isn't complex, so don't pick it up thinking you have a 10+ hour learning curve with insane amounts of mechanics to master.

The game does have a very nice spell making system. Pick a gem holder, and insert gems for different effects to make a spell. I enjoy looting dungeons for gems to make spells with.

Don't know about relaxing, more like tense. I think one of the main attractions of this game is that you have to be fully focused to survive. The atmosphere is great, almost up there with the best real-time dungeon crawlers (at least if you use the default launcher settings so you can't see far even with a torch).

Also, what I do is I search for towns, which have quests, then I complete some of those quests, especially clearing out quest dungeons. This process can be time-consuming, maybe a bit too much so. I'll probably start doing a lot of free exploration, but maybe the game would benefit from a feature that lets you know the difficulty of the area and specific dungeons via some not-too-effortful manner. I'd recall something like that is being planned, but I'm not sure.
