For the King

Loved this game so I introduce a friend to it.
We start our adventure.
He loses a 80% roll and skips 2 turns.
He loses a 60% roll and skips 1 turn.
He loses a 92% roll and spawns a big ass Kraken that wipes our ship.
Immediately comes into another Kraken shortly after, that also wipes our ship.
Great experience, would recommend.

One great thing about growing old is having the fortitude to admit defeat. And I can admit with a smile, this game busted me. I played probably 12 hours straight and being this is a roguelike RPG, I was forced to start over four times. The last time my party arduously achieved level 6 and were horrendously wiped out in an ambush consisting of gank level characters. Emitting a sigh of disgust (and defeat) I hit the uninstall button.
Starting life as a Kickstarter project, this game exudes attention to detail and an obvious love from its creators. The artstyle is reminiscent of something that looks like the lovechild of Minecraft and a Pixar animated film. The characters reminded me of old Fisher-Price figures stolen from a child's playset. Seeing these characters getting blown to pieces by blunderbusses or perforated with arrows due to the game's rag doll physics were comical. Being from a country that embellishes television comedies with laugh tracks, I never had much appreciation for the genre, but this game made me laugh numerous times. Behind the scenes, however, we have a genuine dungeon crawler with campaigns of various degrees of difficulty. The quests were compelling and reminded me of the tabletop DnD sessions I enjoyed in my youth.
I feel almost hoodwinked with how easy it was to lose hours to this game and ultimately realize it defeated me. I like difficult games, but the deaths in this game just didn't feel fair. Barely surviving a dungeon and going back to town to heal up, and then getting ambushed by a trio of cursed witches or werebears at full health just felt contrived. (To its testament as a roguelike, one cannot save in the game.) Admittedly, my lack of prowess with this game (and enjoyment of it) could be ascribed to how I was playing it. The designers made it to be a multi player game, and I've read the game is easier played with other people, but there are some games I just prefer to play alone. I wish I could have finished this delightful little gem of a game.

I have a love-hate relationship with this game.

I had been keeping an eye on this game for quite some time, seeing it on sale numerous times, but I never took the plunge. Eventually, I found myself in search of a great co-op experience, and with this game repeatedly popping up in Steam sales, I decided to purchase it while it was discounted.

After almost 20 hours of gameplay (approximately 10 hours in co-op and 10 hours in single-player — I couldn't wait to dive in, so I explored the single-player mode), I've come to see this game as a middle ground between Talisman and Heroes. It incorporates elements of D&D, offers a fantasy setting, and boasts a wealth of content and variety.

However, there's a significant amount of RNG and grinding involved. Despite this, it's a very engaging game. I highly recommend playing solo, and it's incredibly fun with friends, though it can be frustrating if you lose and your progress is wiped.

I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was by this game. I've seen it on the store page a few times, but it always looked like a long, boring, complicated game. Well, it is quite long, but it's fairly easy to learn, and it's not boring at all. I have yet to beat a campaign, but I've improved on every attempt. I would highly recommend getting it with a few friends, but if you're a lonely loner, you can try playing it solo. Solid 10/10

This game is a must buy for $5. If you enjoy RPG and turn based combat, this game will not disappoint. There is a lot of content, and it is definitely challenging enough. Still playing it with my buddy, and we are really enjoying it! Highly recommend :)

First and foremost: This is an incredible little rougelike strategy RPG game.
Saying that, I have to admit that is is very niche game too. For one, its balls hard with a very high barrier for entry. Your runs will become unmanagable very quickly without meticulous planning, which will lead to you dying and having to start all over again. Secondly it is sometimes very based on luck. This to me though, isnt a flaw but an integral part of the game. In essence, the entire game is based on you strategically deciding when to use your recources to tip the odds in your favor or when to let the dice roll freely.
If that doesnt sound appealing to you, then I totally get that, but if you are willing to give the game a real shot, im sure youll find much enjoymnent in it. Ive been figureing out the game with a buddy and I havent had this much fun with a game in years.
Ive seen a bunch of people criticising the game for being either too hard or luck based. These people clearly just werent into the core concept of the game. Theyre basically just asking for a different game, rather than criticising the game for what it is.
All I can say is
TRY IT OUT!!

Great strategy game. Fun. But, just make sure your happy with your characters order because it can't be changed once you started the game. Example: In your three man line up, Put your tank on the side so when he taunts any AOE attacks hit one extra person and not two. But if this is your thing get on sale.
