Tower of Archeos

mildly addicting, but frustrating. virtually no "obvious" or "tutorial-like" explanation in-game of different roles, abilities, etc. - the game is purely "wing it" in nature which isn't always great if the background aspects (i.e. settings, difficulty, etc) are not explained well or at all within the game itself. The design doesn't really consider audience, feels more experimental in nature as a whole but I'm okay with that - not thrilled - but okay with it. Love the art, RPG aesthetic, and the concept is unique as far as I've seen. I enjoyed playing it and trying different techniques to get further in the game. I think the music and sound effects are fun too. It's very nostalgic of NES/Genesis era fantasy games. I love a good puzzle, and this game absolutely gets my brain going. Again, the concept alone was enough to get my attention even years after its release. Sadly, to me, not entirely worth the price tag when weighing out the good and the bad. It has high replay value, but wait for a sale on this one - otherwise worth playing if you like RPGs, roguelikes, and puzzle games.
