Painfully Slow Turn-Based Movement
NOT RECOMMENDED. The sadistic movement scheme ruins the game. It's basically a big-mapped game, where you move on a grid, exactly ONE STEP at a time, per movement command. Even if you are okay with constantly giving movement commands to get anywhere, the max speed is too slow. This most likely to keep pace with the long-and-slow battle animations. There is no keyboard movement support, most likely because it might feature more directions than the 8 of a grid. The horrible movement system alone reduces everything else to a minor nitpick in comparison. I This game is a dungeon crawler by design, except with image graphics instead of the tradiotional character ones. Speaking of graphics, a lot of it is inert decoration i.e. background variation. You cannot quickly tell what is an object and what is background i.e. not a point of interest. The character based crawlers never had problems like this because an unoccupied grid cell was marked clearly as an empty space. And they had the vital keyboard movement that is makes fast tapping possible. The same with mouse will injure your finger muscles because of the much muscle contraction required. I feel tempted to give the game my "broken game" rating of 1 star because of the missing, achetypical keyboard movement controls AND the laggy-slow game pace. Technically it boots and functions, so a begrudging "not fun to play" one of 2 stars it is. P.S. This game is like Rogue. It is literally a Rogue-like, even though NetHack would be a better example of the genre DONE RIGHT (instead of F'D UP). The full name of Rogue (1980) is "Rogue: Exploring the Dungeons of Doom." That coupled with the turn-based step-by-step movement is most likely the origin of the genre term 'dungeon crawler.' If you want to understand the origin and the implication of this forcibly-re-defined roguelike term, lookup "Berlin Interpretation." It basically tries to take the 'crawl' out of 'dungeon crawl.' Welcome to the modern day politics of ignorant rule.
