Castle Torgeath: Descent into Darkness

I killed a rat and a shiny lemon flew out of its ass. 11/10

Лагающий мусор, мало того что игра сама по себе посредственная, ну да бог с ней, но проявляются постоянно какие то баги, сперва текстуры пропали, потом начала вылетать на сохранениях и на переходе на новый этаж, можно купить только разве что для карточек, а так никому не рекомендую, съэконмите время и нервы

Having owned this game for years and installed it a few times since buying it, I have to say it's not a very good game, and no progress has been made, it seems. Simply put, the combat is not fun. It's clunky and feels unnatural; especially the magic casting system. Enemies move in stiff, unnatural ways. It feels empty; like a perpetual alpha/ Even the graphics look like 'quick tech demo' graphics, and lighting glitches - when the lighting works at all - will damn-near cause a seizure. Finally, there's the perspective. It's just bad. Everything from to position of the camera in relation to the arms, all the way down to figuring out just how far away a crate is, can potentially feel like you're cramped and seeing distortions in the game world. I really wanted to like this game. I pirated it several times before buying it, thinking that maybe newer versions were better. Dungeon crawlers like the early elder scrolls games or the Wizardry series are my bread and butter. I honestly couldn't find a single thing that this game has done in any unique way. It's like alcohol; you have to force yourself to like it, and even after you like it, it's still bad for you. (2021 edit - I tried Castle Torgeath Redux and though the graphics go from a 2 to a 4 it's still the same broken and uninspired slog through a slow and uninteresting garbage)

A very clunky dungeon crawl experience, with primitive traps & jump scares.

A nostalgic trip back to the RPG days of yore. For $8 I was suprised with what I got but what you get is good if you enjoyed games like Kings Field. Combat is your choice of 3 weapons and spells (you find more along the way if you explore) with a thrust/sweep/overhead melee attack.Takes a few encounters to get a feel for how to engauge and dance around a foe but after that you will be a master at it. Lots of item drops to the point you will not know what to do with all your potions, gold, food and junk. finding the right balance to hold and drop gives a more realistic feel to the doungen dive though hope is had in future updates more trade features/encounters will be added. A good way to spend an even enjoying a simple but fun and very nostalgic game.

Game is a bit slow but has it merits. Combat is reminiscent of King's Field and Shadow Tower, but taken from that perspective it does a good job of managing to retain some of those same old feelings. A bit of a hit or miss for nostalgic value, but if you've played or liked those kinds of games in the past, you'll definitely like this game as well. The story is also pretty interesting, but requires quite a bit of reading and nosing about to piece everything together. Overall the game is pretty decent, and definitely worth giving a whirl if dungeon crawling be your kind of thing.
