Okay, let me get this out of the way. This game is a slow paced, 3rd person Dungeon Crawl with rogue elements. It's nothing like Diablo 2, or 3 except the setting, and to me, this is the best one. It's creepy with the lights turned off and your headphones plugged in. It's slow paced, the monsters will mob you and kill you, fast do expect to die. This game is hard on even on the normal setting. Loot is great and randomly generated, but it's not a loot fest by any means. This game will kick you while you are down if you expect it to be lman action game. Take your time and "stay awhile and listen.."
I picked this up during a thanksgiving sale back in 2011 near the price of two bucks. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I booted up the game and generated a world. I first noticed when I began that I had no real direction. You are given basic tools and a weapon and given instant freedom to wander your new world. I immediately set out to dig myself a hole and collect materials. I ended up falling into an underground lake and suffocating. 50+ hours have since gone by and I still have numerous bosses to find and defeat and plenty of gear to create. I can tell that this game is a labor of love from the developers and their continued support shows they still care about it. There is a wiki for the game and most of the things to see and do. If you are anyway still on the fence about picking this up, I suggest looking for it and see if it is appealing to you. The game's nonchalant pace and charming pixel art help bring me back every few months to dig, chop, build, and explore.
