After playing this game for quite a bit, I've got to say it's quite enjoyable. Definitely a roguelike (not a fake, free-roaming one, but an actual turn-based, punishing, strategize before-hand one), and an enjoyable one at that. Don't expect to walk in and start killing everything, because chances are if you're new to the genre (or even a bit experienced like myself), you'll still die a dozen times before you get the hang of it. Learning it is easy enough; mastering it is quite difficult. One of the things I really enjoyed was having dungeons created based off the files I chose from my folder. That said, there's room for improvement UI and bug fixing-wise; the game crashes a bit as of this build, so you'll want to save a lot just in case anything goes wrong. I'm looking forward to the development of this game.

I wanted to like this game, I really did -- the concept looks promising and fun! However, sadly, I must write the first negative review for this game. What lets the game down for me breaks down into a few points: a) A non-intuitive initial start to the game. It took me quite a while to actually work out how to progress into a dungeon. Seeing my files displayed with no information about how they are being used made me initially think that it was asking for a map file that it could load -- as in a file with a specific extension that I would need to download from somewhere. b) A list of controls that seems to be outright wrong. For example, 'A' is supposed to be an action button, but mine was P. Also, not only do the arrow keys control movement, but so does the mouse, WASD and IJKL, leading to utter confusion when combined with controls that don't do what you expect. c) An inventory system that seems, for the most part, broken. Supposedly, weapons and armour are equipped automatically. However, I never once saw the icons at the top of the screen show anything other than zero. The items you pick up in dungeons seem to have no associated wealth, so you cannot determine which items to keep and which items to get rid of when sacrificing items - a key concept of the game. d) There appears to be no mute option whatsoever. e) There's a lot of bugs in the current state. I encountered a fair few crashes and graphical errors. My favourite was learning that if you click the 'Escape' button multiple times without choosing loot to sacrifice, the window for loot selection will move to the right with each click. If you do it enough, it will move completely off the screen and make escape impossible. It *is* possible to cancel the menu, but I had to press almost every key on my keyboard before working out which key actually equates to 'Cancel' -- it isn't B, as stated in the Help! Keep in mind that this is an Early Access review. The game is updated often, so I'm sure the developer will fix these issues before the final game is released!

StoryMode - A game about crashing I went into this game with high hopes. The user interface is clunky and the polar opposite of intuitive. The game tells you to press A, B, or C to do something. I get this is a reference to the actual control, and the game tells you the controls can be rebound at any time. What it doesnt tell you is what the controls are currently bound to so you have to go fishing in settings to even see that button A starts bound to the E key. Would it have been too difficult to add "Press A (Currently bound to: E)" in the tutorial? Like I said, polar opposite of intuitive. That alone would be a mild irritation and not worth a negative review. But then you start discovering that half the time the controls either dont even register, or do not behave as advertised. There is no "back" button, so for instance when you mistakenly press Q to summon the goddess to aid you in a dungeon, you cannot simply cancel the request, you have to click around randomly in the hopes the game will close the aid window. Which it eventually does. Sometimes. Aiming a spell at monsters appears to be a coinflip as well, as I have had several times when I have targeted a monster, cast a spell, only to have the spell fly off in another direction. Then the crashes start. A glance through the bug report forum shows how many players are having this problem(s). Start the game? Crash. Select a file to explore? Crash. Target a monster with a spell? Yup, crash. Use stairs? You guessed it. These are also all intermittant bugs, so any sense of risk or excitement in a dungeon crawl is reduced to "Is my next action going to crash the game and lose all my progress?" Now THAT is hardcore hardmode folks. I've seen players report such things on the forums, only to be told by the author they need to follow proper bug submission guidelines which include examining stack trace logs and noting all steps needed to reproduce the bug. This is not the job of a player, it is the job of a beta tester. StoryMode is marked as an early access title. Some bugs are to be expected. But this is not even playable in its current state. I paid for a game, not to join a public beta test. Anyone who wants to actually play a stable, enjoyable game is advised to look elsewhere. Bottom line: StoryMode has a good sense of nostalgia and humor, but is otherwise a bug ridden mess. The author claims the game is an homage to games gone by, except that those classics were thoroughly tested and polished before being released, and did not ask for players to do the devs job. Perhaps one day, with much community support, StoryMode will become more a game and less an exercise in community frustration. But that day is not today.

MEH. This thing has been early access forever, and I suspect it's because it's unsalvageable. It's a neat conceit, but in practice it's just frustrating and makes you feel like it's not even worth bothering to restart. And I say that as someone who's beaten Nethack twice - that's a lot of f@#$in' restarting, but worth it. This isn't.

불친절한 게임 ?? 갑자기 게임의 이름이 바뀌고 도전과제가 모두 사라졌다. 무언가 변화가 있는것일까.. 네번째 리뷰..... 커맨드와 주문 사용을 알아냈다.. 지도 위에보면 아주 조그만하게 'read me!'라고 윌리를 찾으면 된다. 주문은 E를 눌러서 탐색모드를 활성화 후에 Q 버튼을 누르면 일직선으로 불기둥이!! Brave란 커맨드는 A=Q, B=E, C=Tab 키다... 사실 커맨드 지정된게 3개나 있는데... 딴건 안먹는다 이래저래 복잡하고 여전히 퀘스트만 가려고하면 튕기는 짜증나는 현상 지속 발생 업적 중 상자 부수기랑 이웃 돕기는 아무래도 퀘스트 클리어와 주문으로 상자 파괴 같은데 아무리해도 카운팅이 되지않는다... 세번째 리뷰.. 일단 상자를 부숴서 열라는 도전과제 어떻게 부수는건지 모르겠다. 열쇠로 열어도 카운팅이 안되고 클릭으로 열어도 카운팅이 안된다.. 이웃을 도우라는 도전과제도 퀘스트를 뜻하는 것 같은데 퀘스트 클리어해도 카운팅이 안된다.. 나의 짧은 영어실력이 한스럽다 +퀘스트 하려고 하면 너무 많은 충돌(튕김현상)이 있다. 일단 퀘스트로 던전을 들어가면 90%는 튕긴다고 보면된다. (내가 적한테 맞아 죽는것보다 튕겨서 게임이 꺼지는게 더 빠르다..) 나중에 보스전에서 Brave라는 항목이 있는데 A,B,C가 나온다 아마 A,B,C 에 입력된 키를 타이밍에 맞춰서 누르는 것 같지만 아무리 눌러도 아무런 반응이 없다... 그리고 이게임은 15년 부터 진행하고있는데 아무래도 개발할 생각은 없는 것 같다 그러므로 투자하는건 추천하지 않는다... 두번째 리뷰 처음에는 매우 어이 없는 난이도에 어떻게 해야 할지 모르는 답답함과 짜증이남 하지만 업그레이드가 열리고 난 뒤에는 파밍을 하는 재미가 쏠쏠 가장 큰 단점이라면 처음에 부족한 설명으로 인해 금방 접을것 같다. 두번째 단점은 너무 많이 튕긴다는 점이다. 뭐만 하면 시도때도 없이 튕겨버리는 게임 때문에 저장을 수시로 해야 멘탈관리에 적절! 첫번째 리뷰 3이라고써있고 불덩이 모양 있는건 어떻게 쓰는지도모르며 조작키를보면 Enter , / , delete 를 사용한다는데 실질적으로 어떻게 쓰는건지 알려주지도 않고 실제로 어떻게 쓰는지도 모르겠다... 처음에 아무것도 모르는상태에서 던전을 찾아들어갔다. 그 후에 아마 당신은 엄청난 짜증에 휩싸일 것이라고 생각한다 1층에 나오는 몬스터들이 나의 스탯과는 전~혀 무관하게 보스급으로 우르르 쏟아져나오고 레벨도 한 던전 안에서만 적용 되는 것이라 던전 내에서 경험치를 올리고 나오면 다시 들어가는 던전은 레벨 1부터 시작 죽으면 던전 내에서 먹은 아이템 초기화! 즉, 아이템 1개 간신히 구해서 돌아오고 를 반복하다보니 스탯을 올려주는 상점이 열렸지만 업그레이드를 하고나면 당신을 튕겨버리는 현상에 부딪힐것이다.... 나만 그런 버근지 모르겠으나... 토론장에 가봐도 알수없는 충돌현상이 많다고하는것으로 보아 이와 같은 현상인듯 싶다.... (그렇다... 다시 업그레이드를 하니 튕긴다... 업그레이드 하기 전에 꼭 저장하길 바란다... 저장하고나서 빠르게 업그레이드하고 나면 진행은 되는듯 싶다) 더 많음 빡침요소가 있을 것 같아 다시 플레이하러 간다.. 만약 짜증이나고싶다면 이 20달러나되는 엄청난 게임을 추천!

Impromptu review This review will develop alongside the game changes. 18/01/2016 pro: +funny names for monsters & items +find keys, nonetheless bash through doors not quite a con but could be considered as an issue: -When you attack the action is described as 'Adventurer attacked you for n damage'. cons: -the action button is not clear, nor the other two buttons. -crashes when I try to select the party menu -random crashes

Pretty fun game. Although it crashes from time to time, it is clever and stupidly fun. 8/10

I like this game, even if it's not perfect. I give praise, ，just want this game, do not do too bad Just because I like the style 我給個好評，只希望這款遊戲，不要做得太糟糕，只是因為我喜歡這個風格。
