Final Edit: This title has changed ideas/concepts/artwork/etc. so many times it will make your head spin. My review is so outdated that it's not even worth reading. No, I will not be revisiting the game to update my review. I would recommend being very *very* cautious if you are considering purchasing this game.

[i]The developers were very generous in giving me a key for this game; thank you for that.[/i] They are cool people and are active on the forum, and are very willing to help with bugs.
Here is the deal: this game is in [i]very[/i] early alpha. It needs a ton of work and has a ton of bugs. [b]Will it end up being a success? Maybe. At this point it is anybody's guess what and if a final product will happen.[/b] It is certainly a labor of love for the dev team.
[b]The Good:[/b]
+Really awesome music and ambience
+Great idea that nobody has [i]really[/i] pulled off yet (IMO) - mixing roguelikes and FPS
+It is cheap
[b]The Bad:[/b]
-Everything feels like it was stock from the LeadWorks builder. I don't know for sure if this is true, but I would bet money
-There is absolutely no overlying 'theme' - you are fighting trolls riding four-legged beasts, zombie ?businessmen?, slimes, flying eyeballs and spiders with giant face masks on their back
-The only options are 4 screen resolution choices
-No tutorial
-Your character moves painfully slow even with 'shift' held down - it is so slow that I get bored crawling around the map, this needs to be fixed
[b]The Ugly:[/b]
--Alt+tab crashes the game
--Monsters spawn right next to you the whole time you are outside the main building and is not fun
--The hotbar needs to be connected to the mouse wheel
--Using hotbar items such as bombs kills everybody but has no animation - this is not the only animation that is missing
--Items look like spinning cards and several are blank or look like they have temporary textures
[b]Final thoughts: the developer's probably should have waited before the Steam release. Why? This work represents them and sets the stage for future work.[/b] I wish them the best of luck and hope they finish this game.
