Let me start out by saying *I LOVE THIS GAME*.
It's a rogue like in almost every sense of the definition, apart from it not being turn based. The graphics are retro, yet modern with dynamic lighting and such. Every time you play it, it's different .. Potion types are only the same in each game you play, so one time a red potion will be healing, while the next time your character will just fart of puke rainbows.
If you die ... you die ! Perma death is what makes the game fun. And hard ... really hard. I have not gotten past level 12 yet, and I *think* there are 25 levels. (The inn keep will tell you a rumour at the start of the game about ... you'll find out). There are a ton of different weapons and hats .. Hats ? I hear you say ... yes ... hats are diverse, surprising and cool. Bee hives and turbans with different features every time. And again, the randomness of it all is what makes this such a good game. Unlimited replayability value imo. I would have paid $10 for it, but unfortunately it was on sale.
If you like RPGs, retro style graphics and rogue like elements (random, perma death etc) this is a game for you and at $10 it's a steal (coz you're a rogue, right ?)
