I picked this up for $10 on sale recently and what a steal! It really clicked for me. I love Pillars and Divinity OS but sometimes you just want something a little more modest and streamlined for your dungeon crawling fix. Not to say this is simplistic… it’s just not a big sprawling epic like those other games.
I’m guessing they’ve made effective balance improvements because unlike some folks, I’ve found the combat to be perfectly tuned. Playing on hard, I’ve had to retry a number of battles 3-5 times but each defeat forced me to learn a new tactic, upgrade/enchant my gear, try a new skill load-out, etc. Or simply come back to the fight later when I’ve grown stronger. Some fights I have to play on slow-mo the entire time which can be tense as hell. I’ve logged 25 hours so far and just entered the fourth level of the tower out of six.
Highly recommended!
