Early Access Review
Not sure what these positive reviews are saying... there's comparisons to dungeon crawl stone soup, caves of qud, cogmind, etc. The above mentioned games are deep, can be replayed many times in many different ways, and generally have great depth. This game does not.

I don't mean to be really critical but this isn't even close to any of the pillars of the genre and I have the very strong impression that a lot of these reviews are bought. There's nowhere near the depth of ♥♥♥, DCSS, CDDA, TOME, ADOM, etc. It's really not even close at all.

All of the positive reviews have the same suspicious format... I would be very wary of buying this and expecting a fully functioning roguelike experience. It's just not there.

This is a very simple game with very simple progression and there's a very large lack of meaningful choices or things to learn.

Yes, you are bothering and perpetuating the shilling that's going on. No one cares about your semantics (even though you're full of logical fallacy). You try to sound smart and you insult from the very beginning and then project that when you get called out on it. Get the fuck out of here with your garbage and go write your own review if you feel so strongly about it.

No, I did not call you childish, I said YOUR COMMENT {about positive reviews} was childish, and I stand by that. Again I have no problem with you not liking a game, but your implying that the positive reviews were suspicious was and is silly, and by the way they were not in the same format. You certainly seem to enjoying handing out criticism, but have absolutely no capacity to take it. Anyway I will not bother you again.

You literally called someone childish in your first comment. Get off your high horse and stop telling people what you think they should do. No one cares, go write your own review you white-knighting neckbeard.

Your mind is so adrift in a slumbering torpor that I doubt intelligent thought will ever get out. All I said is that you should respect the fact that others may like things in a game that you don't, and out you came with your childish attack hammer at some one who dares not agree with you, real mature.

First off the sample size of reviews is tiny and a percentage at this point doesn't matter. As a matter of fact all that does is make it much easier to manipulate the review. Don't call me childish for calling out shilling when I see it and I don't care what you think about my opinion on the matter. It doesn't matter I don't have a curator page and their opinions don't matter more or less than anyone else's.

You NEED to understand that you shouldn't tell people what THEY "NEED" to do because you took someone's opinion too seriously. I provided actual comparisons and facts about the game play which many people (obviously) seem to have found helpful to avoid a bad game.

Basically everything you said in your comment is flawed. Get over it.

I respect your choice not to like the game, but your comment about all the positive reviews is childish. Fist off, 92 % of the reviews are positive, and only 1 curator review is negative, you need to understand that not everyone looks for the same things in a game that you do.
