Caves of Qud

I do not at all mind the modest graphics, they actually get my imagination flowing. There is sooooo much replayability to this title. Don't get too attached to your first few characters though, the game is brutal to those uneducated in how it works. I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes roguelikes, survival games, and lore. :)

Caves of Qud. Roguelike turn - and tile-based open world exploration by a single character built by the player. Choose between a Mutated Human with moderate starting attributes, and, surprise surprise, mutations, or a True Kin with access to cybernetics, high starting attributes. bonus skill points on each level and bonus resistance etc. Travel, trade, fight, solve quests, earn experience…upgrade and die, die, a million times. Learn and start over in a randomly generated, exquisitely enigmatic tile based world and find a build that will last longer, each new run, and slowly uncover the mysteries of Qud… And, very important: User Interface, layout and controls (keyboard, but mouse as well) are user friendly and adjustable. A dense concentration of creativity and content that will grab your attention and hold it for hours at a time.

If Cataclysm DDA and Gamma World met in a bar and had a long night of irradiated love-making then CoQ would be the mutant psionic god-child they would have together. This game is awesome, more people should really try some CoQ in their lives.

Very fun, the procedural generation and randomness of possible allies and mutations, not to mention cybernetics which I haven't really gotten into and I'm hooked!

...but without needing to have friends or a DM ;3 Very interesting low-fi gameplay and thick lore that will make you think, you'll feel like you're reading Shakespeare! I play this game when I want to feel smart. Solid recommend! 10/10.
