I tried this turret strategy in the Ramparts today. The key is not to employ the turret strategy too early. Neither the Toxic Sewers nor the Promenade is suitable for a turret strategy. But it works really well in the Ramparts.
I was making such great progress, more than I’ve ever made before (I’m getting much better at avoiding falling to my death). However, I totally got overzealous when fighting wizards and forgot they can fire at me through solid floors, and I forgot to take a potion. Not a single swig of potion in that level! What a waste.
Different topic. It’s sooooooo hard to describe the appeal of this game to people. I tried today. It doesn’t help that I don’t like the genres that this game belongs to generally, so I don’t really have the vocabulary for what makes it so addictive.
