Caves of Qud

[Original Review from Steam] Quetzal, quetzal, quetzal, traveller! Hear me now chanting some of my adventures. I've explored the rainbow road in the middle of the mushrooms forest. That was quite a [TRIP]. I've been infected with fungi so many times that even my tongue fell off. I've been dealing with Snapjaws, Chainsaw Bots, Racist and Xenophobe True Kin, Sludges that spite wine and make you drunk, an Invisible Troll in a pool of covalensce, sleeping bear-cat-like and so many creatures. I've never starved or didn't have a dram of water to quench my thirst but I've faced times of difficult finding these resources. I've actived a strange cube, shooted laser rifles, crafted chem cells, injected salves to regenerate my members, found strange artifects and old technology weapons. Hell, I've even chopped the face of enemies and wear it on my on face. I've been dismembered and ate my own hand to regenerate it. I've drank acid, that was strange, so much wine untill drunk and confused, a mix of cinder and honey that was delicious... And lava. I prefer to not talk about drinking lava but I must say it's... HELLA SPICY. I love Qud with all my heart. Caves of Qud is a fantastic Post-Apoc Mutants Roguelike. It's hard to understand it in the beginning but once you get used to the controls and world itself it turns out to be a remarkable experience. The sound is minimalistic but effective. The tiles are one of my favorite aspect, it's charming, strange yet familiar and has its memorable aesthetic. The mechanics are solid and it can be simple or complex, depending on what you're building with your character. I played countless times as Chimaera and it's my favorite character type. I played a few times with true kin. I must say Tinker builds are very interesting but it starts very, very weak. After 200h playing, now I want to understand and play with Espers, mutants who have psychic mutations and are very powerful yet physically fragile. It's a MUST HAVE for Roguelike Lovers.

Getting real sick and tired of “Gamers” review bombing games because of their political believes. Everyone is entitled to their own views, that’s the world we live in, get over it. I’m not normally a fan of rogue likes but this game added the option to allow me to save and continue so that’s great. I absolutely love the look of the retro graphics and deep lore. Perfect for a lazy afternoon on the couch or in bed. No need for a RTX super beef laptop. Their website same some short stores to read which adds to the atmosphere. Recommended!

dffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Caves of Qud is a roguelike RPG full of accessibility options and good modding tools. It has a Morrowind-esque world and probably the 2nd best proc-gen of any game. Also its community is very inclusive

Game is cool, but unfortunately is spoiled by some seriously unfortunate stuff. Every time I read about it, there's this controversy surrounding it because the devs took issue with some edgy humor in a (very positive) video review for the game. Okay, no big deal, they have a right to be offended if they feel that way. I am not a huge fan of that reviewer's brand of humor either, as I find it immature, formulaic, and unfunny. However, I have come to learn the devs actually took it a step further and attempted to doxx the person who made the video, as well as others who were associated with him. That was stepping so far over a line that I consider it my duty as a consumer to not send these people a cent of my money. If you can't keep your temper in check and have to resort to this kind of behavior, I will have no part in funding your endeavors. Shame, too, because it seemed like a fun game. Refunded, and just coming by to warn other potential buyers not to support this kind of thing. It's your choice, but just be aware of what you're doing.
