Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I did it! After waaaay too many hours, my luck held up enough for my mercenary to become almighty and beat the game (...on easy).

I don't think I properly explored the purple area, as it wasn't at all clear what was game ending and what was random god murder and so on. It'll be vaguely annoying to get back there again if I feel so inclined.

The medal for achieving lvl 10 didn't unlock for me. I think I was 18 or so when I won, but that's somewhat annoying. I've yet to play with the various characters I unlocked during this run, hopefully some of them will allow things to go a little smoother based on proper skill usage instead of relying so heavily on luck. That might be overly optimistic...

It's annoying that everytime you have a gameover you need to sit through the newgrounds and hairy games logos.

Theres 4 endings apparently? I have no idea how one would go about getting alternate endings, as I spent a looong time in both the starting area and the second area (the blue gazebo in particular decided to be super elusive for me...). I suppose there were some mysterious runes that are probably related perhaps, but I don't know what I'd be trying to do with them...

The fountain in the green area seemed to boost stats regardless of the message that was given when you took a drink. I don't know if it was supposed to act like the potions where it's random whether they help or not, or if that's just a perk of the area.

Things get weird and random later on in this game (boar and ribbon boar enemies) and even if you're all powerful theres that one enemy which copies your stats which for me basicly meant running was necessary. I was frequently at 999 gold at the end so that's not a huge deal, but it was annoying.

Still, the metric butt ton of randomness throughout the game, both in the RNG sense and the loloctopusrover sense, makes it hard to tell if things are all working as intended. I was surprised I didn't get a medal for sucessfully hugging the dungeon wanderer for example.

I'm inclined to think I'd enjoy it more if I could reasonably hang back and fight the early monsters (e.g. mushrooms) and just slowly grind my way up to higher levels until my character could actually stand a chance on first encountering an angry mob and the similar higher level things in the same area. Alternatively, if running away was a little more reliable, a bit more strategy in picking and choosing fights could be used, but as it is it seems to be a matter of beating your head against the RNG wall until you get lucky.

It's addictive enough that people seem inclined to actually do so, but it can definitely be super frustrating when success is almost completely independent of your skill as a player.

Difficulty is too high for the amount of luck required. Enjoyable but unlike other hard roguelikes there's nothing you can really do to make up for being unlucky. Enemies such as the ghosts are practically impossible to kill (or even damage in the first place) when you run into them.

I'm loving this game, but am encountering a frequently reoccurring bug wherein an enemy will not die. 0 hp, no death. Hit again, still no death. The only recourse I'm left with is to run away and lost 1/3rd of my gold. I've lost two characters to this bug, being killed by an enemy who the round before I reduced to 0 HP.

As far as the game itself, I love the difficulty, the wide variety of characters(and the different attacks for each makes them unique, if not all particularly useful or viable), and high-lethality roguelike feel.

Great game, terrible bug. Fix please?

I want to win on hard but it so fugging hard! It get harder so quick... No sensible progresion. Just fast and hard. You the bitch here. You get fukd and you have to like it... you come back for more smacking around and being called stupid. I love to hate this game... and I hate to love it. All your base are belong to it.

I like the game a lot. It has a lot of good things going for it. But my main grip is all the luck you need to stand a chance when the spike in difficulty increases. In this way, the game seems unbalanced, giving the monsters a huge advantage over the player. I don't mind being hit by 30 points of damage, but I do take exception to losing so much gold when I have no choice but to run - and running into several monsters in a row can decimate your funds quickly, and dash any hopes of getting health items by the time you run into another monster.

The other problem I have with the game are the random encounters. There doesn't seem to be a constant variety of randomness, not when I keep running into monster one after another, or when I go past 10 - 12 merchants and priests in a row. Or how items always give you the same effect or item in a row.

Other than those complaints it's an addictive game to play. So, well done.
