[h1] First person dungeon crawler. Battles are turn based. Game have lots of encounters with same enemies. Walk down the corridor and random fight pops out. Check drawers, cabinets, chests for loot. Some random events like characters that might joint your party. Goal is to get to the next area by finding right door. Visuals somewhat original but might feel boring after a while. Play it if you like dungeon crawlers otherwise skip, there's no satisfaction whatsoever from playing this one. [/h1]8 found this helpful

Great old school dungeon crawler!2 found this helpful
I really wish I could recommend this game, but it's too rough around the edges for me to do so. I love the presentation, and it does scratch that classic first-person dungeon crawler itch, but there are so many better options out there at this point. There are a lot of minor bugs that, while nothing more than annoyances, add up. I had to make sure to save quite often when going back to the main town, as there were plenty of instances where the menu never appeared which forced me to quit out of the game and reload. This happened often enough that it became a bit frustrating to have to deal with. Thankfully I didn't lose much progress due to this, but if you weren't saving often enough you could lose hours of progress. Also, there are around seven achievements that are bugged. This isn't as big a deal for me, but if you're someone who enjoys hunting achievements, you'll never be able to unlock all of them here. I know the game is over twelve years old at this point which could be the cause of some of the odd bugs I encountered, but it's just not worth buying with the state it's in even at the low price point. I hate to say that, I really do. I did enjoy the game, but I simply canno…1 found this helpful
Picked brass door in 3-3, opened the loot, got garbage. Reloaded, opened the loot, got amazing stuff, was locked inside the room. Goblin won't pick lock from the inside, without key, bugged stuck. Roughly 4 hours into a replay after many years, and that's it for me. I don't know if the same bug occurs if you open the door with the brass key. Do not recommend. Spend more time saving/reloading with your fingers crossed to get a good drop, than actually playing. Added layers of grinding in a dungeon crawler. Yessh. Goodbye paper sorcerer.
