Legion's Crawl

This game wishes it was Dungeons of Dredmor so much, if only it had put in even a fraction of the time and effort it would have taken to get there. Here are some examples: EXAMPLE ONE: The grammar is waaaaaaay off. You might not think this is a real issue, but I honestly thought that there were actual 'gears' that I had to find to craft with until I realized that the author/designer (hereafter referred to as 'the chump') thought that the plural of 'gear' as in "That sure is a lot of gear for a hike." was 'gears.' The specific phrase that first confused me was, "You are sure to find lots of gears in a dungeon." Also the chump just uses the wrong words sometimes. A 'teleport' trap doesn't teleport you anywhere. I don't know what it did, but teleportation seemed to have nothing to do with any aspect of it. EXAMPLE TWO: There is zero balance to things. I understand that this is a roguelike and a certain amount of randomness is to be expected, but if a main mechanic of your game is that nothing is identified and things can be cursed, then there should be items to identify things and remove curses! I found a single scroll of identify and it was on floor 4. I found no way to remove curses. Or, for that matter, to heal. Which brings me to... EXAMPLE THREE: There are no monsters until there are suddenly dozens. The dungeon felt empty and lifeless, I would find one or two monster per room roughly every third room. Then someone opened the floodgates and I was beset on all sides by monsters everywhere I went! If there's a timer mechanic, I was not made aware of it. Though maybe the chump tried to tell me and accidentally used the phrase 'swing your sword' when he meant to use the phrase 'don't stay in one area too long or the monsters will figure out where you are.' Not that it mattered, because after the fifth onslaught I was killed because I never found a healing item. Hard pass. Go find Dungeons of Dredmor. It's a dead game but it's complete and a thousand percent better than this.
