It can take some time to learn, but if you are patient, and research, it can be a wonderful, relaxing game. 100% turn based, so you never feel rushed. A reason why it's still played today!
Just really very little fun, compared to what I felt it would be. Get hit once by an enemy beginner level maggot/insect/thing? Oh even though you're level 3, lose half your life due to poison dmg. I disliked just about everything about this game.
