I am really enjoying this game. As a fan of arpgs like Diablo 2 and Path of Exile and others along with being a fan of litRPG books, this text based game just hits the spot. There is a lot more too it than you realize at first, as well. End game advancement, grouping, big numbers, putting together builds of powers and skills, there's quite a bit here. Limited lives with ability to buy more keeps you from playing outright stupid (permadeath is possible but only likely for massive idiots, like me, who kept trying to push things way too far with +6 maps too fast, but even i turned myself around and am OK!) I heartily recommend this game, particularly to play as a secondary game alongside other games.

Veteran MUD player, if you loved MUDs of all sorts, this is the game for you. Using MUDs of long ago as comparison, QoL improvements are: - Moving using arrow keys, or the usual n, s, e, w, etc - Aliases are in game - there are graphics for mobs, sound effects for skills - Ability to put combat text in another window in game - Buy/Sell/Compare/Wear/Remove/Dismantle and etc have UI - Items are not boring, u get a big variety of them, and also Uniques, so far i only got 1 unique wand which is useless for my Paladin Not bad for a single developer Indie game so go try it.

Chill, fairly simple game. Repetitive but I don't mind. Same kind of repetition you'd get playing diablo. kill, loot, change up equipment/abilities, kill, loot. Went Drow Necro. slight regret going Drow as lifetap racial is thematically necro but necro is a mage type with a lot of shield health, so you rarely get to heal HP from the lifetap! The way I'm playing necro and the skills I've acquired, the mage class would be more appropriate. Later game might make sense to focus necro items/skills, but for now I enjoy my fire orb and ice elemental pet. FEEDBACK / REQUEST I do wish the combat log started each skill line with [Lifetap] or [FIre Orb] or [LEFT HAND (for wands etc)] before giving the rest of the flavor text. cuz it is hard as hell to scroll and read in an active combat to see what kind of damage each ability is doing. Hell maybe expand the DPS meter to show the AVG damage of the last 5 casts of each ability. That'd be dope. -----------

I've never played a MUD (I didn't even know what the acronym meant before this) but I like this game. I can't offer a deeper comparison against other games in the genre so I'll leave that to others but I can tell you if you are interested in the idea of an arpg like diablo or path of exile but in a text based setting and enjoy engaging your imagination a bit it's worth taking a look. Seems like a good entry point for someone who is new to this like I am.

Haven't dabbled since Arctic way back in the day, its a neat little blast from the past-ish.

I wanted to like this game, but I ultimately can't recommend it in its current state. Another review described it as "vibe-coded," and I think that's an accurate assessment. The foundation feels weak. It seems like the game was built from the top down rather than from the bottom up, and it shows in the fundamentals. Basic systems don't function reliably. One of the first bugs I encountered involved a locked chest. I was able to open it anyway, receive randomized loot and gold, close it, reopen it, and receive another set of randomized rewards. Repeating this indefinitely let me accumulate unlimited loot and gold. I was even able to exceed my character's carrying capacity by hundreds of units without penalty, recall to town, and sell or dismantle everything. I've been programming since I was a teenager, back when learning meant reading books instead of searching the internet. I joined the Discord intending to submit bug reports and a few feature suggestions. The developer was responsive, which I appreciate, but I was surprised by some of the design decisions. For example, the inventory system makes it difficult to reference specific items when it's possible to have hundreds of t…
