Equilibrium Of Divinity

Classless, Party, Roguelike - Lets get that out of the way. This is a true, real, honest, Roguelike with semi-real time movement. This means monsters walk around on patrols and its possible to slip past, grab loot, and get back to a hiding spot. It's also possible to engage, and retreat at low levels. This game is all about risk mitigation, customization, and options. Like all true Roguelikes that means the RNG may love or hate you, depending, and your Goal is advancement. There is a very loose story, but it doesn't matter. There may be shops, I haven't dug that far into it yet, but there certainly is material crafting. Likewise you begin with little or nothing at the start, so that means party unity, good tactics, and thinking through a situation is very important. Ranged Projectile Weapons (bows and arrows) require quivers to use, which makes a kind of sense given that no one can carry a dozen arrows in their backpack, draw, and fire efficiently. Spells are powerful options and hybrid characters do better than you might think. Likewise the system uses a two row system for character placement with the back row being able to hit the front row only if the range of a weapon is lon…

How wildly careless of a developer do you have to be to have both buggy character creation as well as a buggy tutorial? I can only assume the rest of the game is made with the same level of detail.

There's just something overwhelmingly offputting about the game's design. I can't place it. I couldn't get more than a minute into playing the actual game before uninstalling, it felt that bad. Is that unfair to the game? Sure. But nobody paid me to play it, and nobody's paying me to review it, so why put myself through something I don't want to do? Maybe you'll enjoy it. Other people certainly did.

Two things to note. I had an issue with my pc not having the proper support for shaders for this game (Using a not old Nvidia card so this is an oddball issue imho). As a result the dev recommended I refund the game or get a better graphics card. The entire game depends on this specific type of shader tech that Nvidia and some laptop igcs can't handle. That was their explanation and it seems probable based on the errors I saw. So while I recommend the game I also recommend you carefully check your stats before buying. The other thing to note is that because of the above issue I got about an hour into the game before running into said problems so I didn't get a full grasp of it. I liked what I saw. Reminded me a lot of older top down rpgs with some survival/roguelike elements thrown in. (I would not call this a roguelike from what Ive seen. I admit I am a bit of a purist with what I do consider to be roguelike since it is easy to lose context if you spread the label around too loosely. Combat is turn based, like some old top down rpgs (Ultima if I recall correctly among others) and many fps fantasy games (Eye of the Beholder, Wizardry, etc) the combat considers front rank, ba…

A pretty solid and lengthy dungeon crawler that nails "just one more floor." Proc-gen crawlers like this are usually single-character, but the party-based tactical combat makes this one stand out. Party-building can be a bit overwhelming if you're just starting, so I would suggest taking a look at the premade classes first and maybe playing a few floors to get a sense for how things work. It's not too hard to cover all of the weapon and crafting skills, with the harder decisions being around how to spread out your magic. There are some balancing decisions that I found a bit odd, especially around crafting. Crafting isn't meant to fully outfit you, and you won't find enough materials to do that anyway. It's meant to fill gaps, with most of your gear coming from loot - which would be fine, but patterns that fill specific needs (especially specific weapon types) can be few and far between, and some high-level rare crafted items like the dragonscale bracers are strangely weak. So, although not perfect, it's still a compelling and reasonably challenging crawl that will take a decent chunk of time to complete. Check it out. Shoutout to the developers for quickly fixing several i…
