- A streamlined roguelike focused on discrete skill upgrades and tactical combat? That certainly seems interesting.
- I shot carnivorous brambles with arrows, set fire to some spider webs, and was killed on Depth 1 by a Frostling.
- Oh, you can rest once per level, regaining all Health and Exhaustion.
- Reached Depth 2. I don't like frostlings.
- Man, Chispole the stealthy Rogue reached Depth 3, stabbing all manner of creatures with his Dagger in the dark, before being surprise-killed by a Zombie. I really like roaming the darkness in this game, it gets a bit spooky.
I reached Depth 3 with my heavy fighter.
This is keeping me sane during a lot of late work nights.
- Got the score 4.
I reached Depth 4 with Gonk the Warrior.
I'm playing a great game as Fawosad the Rogue, walking around in the dark, stabbing creatures with my dagger (that always hits in the darkness). What a great idea to have stealth gameplay in a roguelike.
I have a Lens of Scrying that identifies a random item every time I descend a level.
- Got the score 4.
I was attacked by a poisonous snake on Depth 4 and was blinded. Panicking, I threw an Orb of Blades where I thought the snake was, but as it turns out, the blades attack everything, including Rogues. Now I'm dead.
My rogue was sneaking around Depth 3 and was suddenly ambushed by 3 Cultists! I tried to run into a room and shut the door behind me, but was hit in the back and had to fight. I fired a Wand of Flesh to Fire, which set the flesh of the nearest cultist on fire, while also igniting the other cultists - and myself! Panicking, I turned to my spellbook and realized I had a Blink spell. I teleported on the other side of the Cultists, and stood from a safe distance and watched them burn to death, while the fire slowly went out, leaving me relatively unharmed.
Roger the Rogue has reached Depth 5 by me playing strategically and not running headfirst into combat!
Sneaking up to a doorway, casting Scorch and running away while the unaware enemy burns to death is a pretty good sneaky tactic.
Roger is now on Depth 6.
- Got the score 7.
I was getting overly confident in my sneaking ability on Depth 7, and snuck around with very low health, and got shot in the back by a Goblin Archer.
It's great when a plan comes together. I was in a room with a Golden Dart Frog and two traps, an oil trap and a fire trap. I took two steps to put the fire trap between me and the frog, the frog went into the fire, and then tried to escape, moving into the oil trap. The frog died immediately, no combat needed.
Passage is an amazing spell to escape monsters or avoid traps.
I recorded a game with Fightor, who walked into a room filled with deadly traps, now almost dead and on fire, blinked into an oil trap and died.
I recorded another game, this time with Roger the stealthy rogue, who died on Depth 4, poisoned and on fire.
