Dungeon Rats
Description
Dungeon Rats is a turn-based, party-based dungeon crawler set in the same world as Age of Decadence. This is an RPG focused almost exclusively on squad level tactical combat for players who enjoy turn-based games in general, and AoD's combat systems in particular. If fighting your way out of a prison mine - and frequently dying in the attempt - is your idea of a good time, you've come to the right place.
Starting out as a new prisoner at the bottom of the gangs-ruled prison hierarchy, and of the prison itself, you must fight to survive and develop your combat skills, acquiring better weapons and equipment as you go. Recruit allies to your struggle or carry on as a lone wolf, and kill anyone foolish enough to stand in your way.
Notable changes from The Age of Decadence:
- Party-based - the most frequently requested feature.
- Flanking and other strategic bonuses. Positioning matters a lot.
- Manual placement of your characters before a fight.
- Charisma determines the number and quality of your party members.
- Skill points are split between the party members: more people means fewer skills points per person and slower level ups.
- New weapons, armor, and creatures.
- 3 difficulty levels: Nice Guy, Tough Bastard, Murderous Psychopath
Features include:

Amazing _hard_ tactical game
If you liked Age of Decadence, this is a purely combat part of it, but with a party = more strategy. Plus: - Challenging tactical game - AoD combat system, but with a party - HAS high enough difficulty level to be replayalle Minus: -Do not expect any kind of significant story. There is some flavor text, but it doesn't matter for gameplay. Not really a minus, as it says so "on the box" -Combat is a little too random at ironman style for my liking -- I wish death mechanics worked like in Colony Ship by same developer (and perhaps to keep similar difficulty level, enemies could be slightly tougher) -- would make a better strategy experience imho. But I'm rating this 5 stars and colony ship 4 stars because colony ship does not have high enough difficulty level. This one does. P.S. If you are like me, and try to ironman game from the start at highest difficulty... for this one start at lower difficulty. A lot of games now days at "impossible" level are "still easy". This one is not. Love it for it!

Very playable and atmospheric!
I kind of like that the gameplay is simple yet very interesting, so you can easily sink in the game even if you only have 30 minutes.

Hard core game
Just very short :) Classic RPG, but must have some patience 'cos it is nightmarish hard.
