Imperfect but enjoyable experience
The whole concept is great, and the game is a lot of fun. There are many issues in this game that lowered my enjoyment: a) the humour is too much cliché b) the inventory system is terrible - no autosorting, a lot of manual shuffling needed c) the storage space (your bank) is terrible d) some of the quests are downright annoying - especially when you are tasked to retrieve something in many rooms you have just went through, and the items were not visible before e) some of the re-spawning enemies are quite inconvenient when you need to pass that room quickly f) the save system is a total failure (a.k.a "do you want to quit? all your unsaved progress will be lost. be we won't tell you where your last save is") Still, I played the whole game and I liked it. The environment was very variable, there were a lot of weapons, potions, spells, enemies, pets, etc. The music and sound effects were satisfactory (nice job with the laughing skulls). The bosses were interesting (although some of them also very annoying). The concept of lighting up the rooms is very clever and satisfying. The hotkeys approach could use some improvements (wrt to the inventory), but it is quite convenient as well. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, I'm really afraid it can get too much addictive :-) You can get a Steam key on webpage homepage, and there should be a Linux version in development (I truly hope they finish it soon). Overall, thumbs up.
