I tried the demo of this one some time ago, even posted some pics in the screenshot thread like the one below. Looks pretty sweet.
It's a very Diablo 1 inspired game with the most notable difference being the absence of town. No teleporting back to town in order fill up your potion belt, the only loot and potions you're going to get are the ones found in the tower you're ascending. No shops either except for some weird ones like the one with the demon that can refresh his stock if you agree to permamnetly sacrifice a
health point, dev showcased this one on twitter one time.
Edit: I misremembered, it's a mana points that you must sacrifice for a shop refresh.
You also get weapon arts, special warrior abilities that work just like spells except you don't need to find the spellbook in order to learn them. They only require meeting their stat requirements like AGI 11 or STR 16. One-handed and shield Weapon arts include stuff like multi-strike, ability to block enemy attack if you press the button in time and similar ability to deflect any projectile back at the enemy. Two-handed weapons get the ability to rush enemy, throw weapon like a boomerang and execute low-HP ones. Bows get elemental projectiles, pierce shot and stuff.
You get your regular magic too of course like the basic firebolt, deflection field, that one spell that freezes floor or the berserk spell that increases all of your damage, no matter if it's magical or physical. Requires investing in INT in order to learn them from a spellbook but there are also some spells that can be aquired without stat requirements like by touching a special object.
Feels a bit more like a roguelike somewhat compared to the original Diablo 1. Some people might enjoy playing this one with ironman on.
