I recommend it. First game Ive played for quite some time that has had me glued to the screen 6h straight.
And its not very expensive.

Great game, who would have thought roaming around dark corridors for hours could be so fucking fun? It's like Dungeon Master and their ilk from the days of yore but modernized, but in a good way.

Seems like Bethesda could learn a thing or two about dungeon crawling from these guys.

It's pretty good. Just wish they had been a bit more ambitious. Nostaliga only goes so far. :drunk:

It IS very basic, they've gone with the absolute minimum in many ways. Im expecting things to evolve with an expansion or sequel tho.
Also im expecting prosper to mod the shit out of it.

My thoughts exactly. It looked promising and I tried it out for a few hours, but didn't think it was worth a purchase.

It looks like crap? Is there a story of some sort, dialogues and stuff?

As far as I could tell, no. It's very much old skool, nostalgia & that sort of stuff. The only thing missing from that formula is 8-bit art style.
