I half-assumed as much, but I still thought you would come up with a fictional title worthy of you.
Next time, I guess.

Should you ever decide to go that way though, do remember this.

Sorry, it's been a shit week. Hopefully I'll be back to normal after I get these stitches out, but that's another story for another thread. :D

You mean that in addition to having us in stitches, you're having you in stitches as well? ;)

That was bad but still made me laugh. XD
Just 5 stitches; problem being they are in my upper gums right in the front so I feel like hell.

Mind the stitches?
Either way, take care :)

Gave this a try. It's... interesting... Rouge-like is the mini levels being a little randomized, but nothing like say ADOM or Dungeons of Dredmore (both which i loved)

If i spent a lot of time on it i'm sure i could get quite good, however i'm not sure if i have the patience for that; Currently simply getting blind bonuses/gifts leaves me uncertain. Rouge-like games are about trying to do the best you can, and quite often it's kiting tactics while in this game not being turned based doesn't allow for you to optimize for any of that.

There are some interesting mechanics, but dying quickly and then starting over is a bit of an annoyance, especially for blocking/parrying where during the tutorial it doesn't give you a hint when you are suppose to do it and you spend 3-4 minutes repeating the parry button until you happen to get the timing by accident.

What i've played so far i'm disappointed, but maybe i'm expecting too much...
