Weak roguelike caused by balancing issue
CoQ is a weak roguelike as it is. Plenty of balancing issues, overcomplicated controls, especially in 2020, playing with the UI in the settings causes plenty of problems with custom controls. Ineffective playstyles caused by dev nerfs isn't appealing (Esper nerf.) Playing espers is awful, as many spells have cooldowns up to 200 turns without being an aoe. Some items appear useless, but they have info that just isn't included in the game, which is a staple in roguelikes of course, but in this game, it seems more like an oversight. To come back to the balancing issues, this causes the game to have awful pacing issues. You need to grind in the early-game on defenseless creatures to level-up and then finally start fighting enemies that can fight back. The starting quests would actually kill you if you decided to do them. The mid-game is boring. Again, because of the balancing issues, at this point, you either kill creatures in one hit, or they kill you in one hit. In the late-game, you would think you would finally escape this, but you don't. Now you just one-hit kill everything. The game is GoG unfriendly. And, finally, to explain the 1 star review. I owe this to the community. Mentioning change to other users in the community or the devs is impossible, they'll either ignore you or probably offhandedly call you off. The whole drama that recently happened because of a certain video made this community seem even more unlikable. They're quick to insult you. A fair share of the community is very elitist, and sadly, the devs are also quick to insult and elitist. The best review of the game is a certain video online. Just search Caves of Qud on YouTube and you'll find it. Have a great day!
