Caves of Qud

Great game, don’t support the devs as they are some of the most toxic people you would ever meet. They get mad if anyone of a different political opinion or anyone engaging in “wrongthink” even reviews this game, ( see the Ssethtzeentach drama) this and no mod support make the game not worth buying. TLDR devs hate you and you can’t mod the game.

Fastest refund ever. Caves of Qope is a social disease. I have read that Alen Ginsburg joined NAMBLA as a sort of social protest. The politics of that act permeate the writing, bad design and outright cringe of the self inserts. (Q girl/trans/Pedomods) Mechanically the game is just not what was promised. Shallower than CCDDA without admitting that it's just a shelled out layer version of ADOM. Games like this pretend to be complex by relying on the reputation of similar games in the genre. Rogue Lite is not even correct. Proceedural generation for example isn't accurate or uniform. -Mechanically not a rougelike anymore. -Undercooked. -A notorious 'discord onboarding guide' (You have to see this to believe it) -Devs Doxxed several. -Gog suppourt for Mods vacant. -Community endorsed harrassment. -For being diet marxists they sure like to increase the price. The "deep simulation" is a lie. Everything formerly interesting has since been erased from the game in a post review hissy fit and ongoing options have slowly contracted as interest wanes. Former good will of the now rather dead community aside, the discord is certainly one of the things of all time. The hard left always generates soft minds . Since my steam refund this ADOM skinned shell is claimed to be over 15 years of devellopment. It plays like 15 months. It's more fun to break than to progress. Gog.com suppourt always gets the short end of the stick so I will just assume that as the devs are scamming people with bad merch that this too is on purpose. The doxxing of a friend of a reviewer who gave the game its biggest boost is typical behaviour. Strange things happen in leftist circles. Chaosprime is an example of an unpersoned person even among thier own. The Dev even went so far as to throw bragging into the mix when a steam review pointed out the insanity. Brigading of reviews is organised, common and encouraged. The amount of 1 game account reviews here might illustrate this well. 0/10 DNB

GoG is starting to add some forever early access titles but unlike Steam does not enforce any standards like having clear details on the current state of EA, or the estimated release date. The devs don't even have an estimated roadmap and are just feature creeping in EA to avoid criticism.

check out Dwarf fortress, it has a topdown building mode, and an adventure mode more interesting then this. Multiple tilesets to choose from, and a cooler world generation. As well as much more satisfying text messages as to whats happening. on screen. (not "you hit animal" its more like "you cleaved the cat's paw off its body -tab- blood is everywhere" and there would be blood all over the place. This shouldnt even be released now. it is inferior in every way.
