Great, but GoG unfrendly

🔍This review is outdated and might not reflect the current state of the game correctly. GOG Support Staff ===== The game itself is great, placing you in one of those deep, detailed and highly immersive imaginary worlds, that make rougelikes so unique. Unfortunately it's commercialization, while undoubtedly boosted development had it's fir share of negative impacts. One of them is the cost optimization efforts with their side effects. To avoid the need to invest in maintaining community game has no forum. Chats were thrown out in Discord and mods in Steam Workshop. Additionally Freehold Games decided to forbid downloading of Steam hosted mods by people, who brought the game outside Steam to avoid the possible (purely imaginable in my opinion) extra cost of having to provide support to them. The game itself deserves full fife star rating. Modding however is important way for one to expand experience and go around immersion rough ends while playing rougelike and because of the vendor-locking GOG users are not allowed to benefit it.

Decent game, wish I hadn't bought it

Honestly, I am a pretty big fan of roguelike games. I even still have the files for the free Wu Tang Clan roguelike dungeon crawler on my PC. This one is pretty good. I has some pretty deep and open ways to do things. It's nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it does give you a lot of interesting and often pretty goofy ways to tackle problems. Overall, a somewhat above-average roguelike for the money. That said, I did discover this game through the recent review by Ssethtzeentach on YouTube. I have been following his channel since he was in the same general squad at Flimsii and Fitzthistlewitz (RIP Fitz). He started his review series with more satirical stuff early on, such as dunking on FO4 or reviewing Nekopara. Over time, he has become a reviewer I trust on finding weird, interesting, and/or generally lesser known games. Usually when Sseth reviews a game like this, it sends a lot of new people to buy the game and try it out, whether on Steam or GOG (which Sseth tends to provide discount codes for on some games). Generally, devs have been very positive about this. They welcome the new fans since they do have a pretty deep appreciation for Sseth's quirky taste in games before even purchasing the one's he recommends. It didn't go that way this time, because the developers of this game are toxic as hell, yet pretending that they are the ones being treated rudely or unfairly in this scenerio. After a lot of people, myself included, saw Sseth's video and bought the game, the devs called out Sseth and has fanbase as "cryptofascists" and basically kicked a hornet's nest. The worst part is, I don't even think it's unwarranted to be upset at the devs, since after expelling Sseth's fans from the game's Discord, the devs kepts provoking and smearing them on Twitter, going as far as to screencap and make fun of people who were defending Sseth. It's like Sseth gave someone a dollar, told all his friends to do it, and then they kept the money and called him an asshole.

Hey, hey people

CoQ review here. Game is a brutal, relentless cavalcade of my own self inflicted disasters. I love it. Do you want to play as a six-armed mutant, able to dismember six limbs at once? Do you want to play as a horrific psyker able to summon rifts in time and space? Or perhaps being the racial purist, augmented with the latest and greatest in cybernetics, is more your shtick? Did you ever want to turn back time to erase your mistakes using quantum mechanics? Did you dream of being hungry, finding a grove of bananas only for the bananas to skin you alive and eat you (we've all been there once)? Then CoQ is the right game for you. You must be asking yourself, why not 5 stars then? Simple. Modding in this game doesn't work, and devs seem to be actively hostile to the community.

Phenomenal Game; Silly Controversy

I bought this through Itch, but I like it enough to want to speak fondly of it here! But then saw a few reviews focusing on a controversy with the developers specifically, and I wanted to provide a summary for others who're considering the game but don't wanna give money to awful people. So here's the controversy: The controversy surrounding the developers of Caves of Qud, Freehold Games, primarily stems from a combination of community management decisions and a specific incident involving a popular YouTuber. In October 2020, YouTuber SsethTzeentach released a review of Caves of Qud, which was largely positive but included a brief segment criticizing the game's Discord community for banning him after he made a sexist and homophobic joke. He then jokingly challenged his viewers to get banned from the Discord as quickly as possible. This led to a wave of his fans attempting to disrupt the Caves of Qud Discord, prompting the developers to make the server private and vet new members individually. This decision was met with criticism from some who viewed it as an infringement on their free speech, while others supported the developers' right to manage their community and maintain a certain standard of behavior. That's it. That's the controversy. There were other rumours flung at the developers, but none of it was proven or substantiated in any way. Get the game, it's great.

Good Game, is possible to get steam mods

The game it a fantastic rouge-like that will be a joy to play for people that enjoy the learning curve styles of say CDDA. However I would also like to add that the top comment, and a few others have said that they couldn't get ahold of steam mods. Either something has changed since then or they used another method but https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/ has always worked for me, and shows a 99% success rate on their website. So don't let mod access deter you from buying the game on gog.
