About BALROG
The dwarves have abandoned the ringing forges and roaring breweries of Vul Buhldar, and in their absence other, less savory things of the dark have taken up residence. The fortress remains sealed, its locks and bridges having been shut in a final act of defiance from the dwarves, turning what was once a proud citadel into a prison of brass and hewn stone. But mankind has always been easily lured by the promise of the unseen, and you are no different in this curiosity.
A strong sword arm is not all you will need, as you must have the cunning and wisdom to solve complex devices, slip past traps, and decipher the riddles of the dwarves in order to find what they have sealed within their fortress... and to ensure that there it remains.
Balrog is a classically inspired RPG adventure, taking influence from everything from Icewind Dale to Moria to create something new and inviting from the familiar old-school grinds. Balrog brings a tight and fun experience to both fans of the classics and new RPG players, putting its focus not on frustrating combat challenges or timing-based reflex but on good old-fashioned adventure and exploration.

I should begin this review by saying that Balrog's a particular kind of game for a particular kind of person. Also, hullo, I did goblin noises so I got this for free, and while it might not look like I've played this a lot, I've been helping playtest this thing since just about day 1. Also, tl;dr: Balrog is very much a game that isn't designed for everyone, but what it aims to do - from aesthetics to gameplay - it gets right, so I recommend it. Definitely make use of the free demo, it has a lot to it! Now that aside, it's easy to step into Balrog and approach it as a Diablo-like, which is a surefire way to be disappointed. While the perspective is similar, Balrog's meant to be slower-paced and support more creative approaches and push you to face puzzles rather than just carve through hordes of enemies and tap all your hotkeys to do so. If you play a thief, you don't just turn invisible and fire off a shower of arrows in one click, you have to stealth around, spot traps, and use those to your advantage if picking enemies off one-by-one backfires. So on that note, I strongly recommend playing a warrior or a wizard for new players: they can pull off a more straightforward solution …23 found this helpful
I played this game for 8 minutes and that's all the time it took for me to decide "No." Poor characters, poor graphics, choppy and slow on a 4 ghz machine, not fun at all. What you see in the pictures for this game is not what you get.13 found this helpful

it's not a Diablo-like, more like a low Role-Playing ,easy,solo version of Baldur's Gate ( Durlag's Tower ) There are many bugs in the current version,waiting for fix 弱扮演要素的简易solo版博德之门（玩的时候想到了杜拉格之塔） 前期需要靠存档读档来重复刷怪来攒经验和钱 之后需要通过游戏内书本的文字或图案的提示来解开区域谜题， 游戏素质挺高，风格决定下的画质低但观感其实很不错，商店页面展示的截图是demo版，正式版的画面稍微好点 这游戏用的是虚幻4引擎，不清楚是我自己电脑的原因还是游戏优化的问题，cpu占用过高 （没想到的是这游戏的美区定价竟然要25刀，国区原价也到了80，有点离谱）6 found this helpful
Like Diablo, but much better in every single way. My account says I have't played this much, but I played the demo a fair amount, this game is good but more niche than Diablo. Good game!4 found this helpful
