While the game<\/a> has several extremely annoying bugs, for the most part it’s a fun (if repetitive) dungeon crawler.<\/p>\n

There’s all the multi-character persistence and loot of a Diablo<\/a>-like game, with the turn-based and environmental traits of a Dungeons of Dredmor<\/a>-like game. There are two unique aspects here. The first is that instead of doing one run\/character at a time, you have immediate access to 7 characters (one of each class) which share loot and can be used at will. The second is death; if a character dies they get captured and have to be rescued by a different character.<\/p>\n

At the moment I have all 7 at levels 10-12 and have just reached the 11th dungeon. So far there’s decent enemy variety (each odd dungeon number introduces new ones) and skill variety (though I’ve only found 2 non-starter ones at the moment), but having to repeatedly grind the same area (even with the randomized layout) to overcome sudden difficulty spikes is annoying. Particularly since any time you fail to clear a level for any reason (death\/capture, bug, menu exit) any items found\/used or changes made since entering it are completely reset.<\/p>\n
