To anyone considering buying this, Its filled with bugs, crashes, and when you finally are able to play its truly horrific

Been playing the first one for about 5 hours now and am really enjoying it. Call me a wuss but I had to lower the difficulty to Easy and am having even more fun. You have to approach this game with an open mind and with the expectations of a funny story that is about to be unraveled. Personally, the fact that within the story they acknowledge that their humor is dorky makes it even more funny. The writers really had a good time writing this.. Anyway, I seem to have written a book myself here, ok Im do...

First sword swing at the mushroom in the first battle crashes the game immediately to desktop... What is going to be done about this?

I've installed the game, tried to launch it, and can get as far as the config tool, but when I hit "start" the game seems to pop up and then immediately disappears. I have no idea what could be wrong or why it won't let me play. I've tried googling for answers, and nothing seems to be working. The game looks fun, and I'm very frustrated to keep wasting money on Steam just to have the games not work. Please help? I will list whatever computer details necessary, I just have no idea what to provide....

Just wondering on average how long it takes to beat the game.
