Tower of Eglathia

I've played a decent number of hours and characters now, so I can say that the game is enjoyable until the end. I've only tried easy mode so far, and that was enough of a challenge for a starting player.
Overall, this game has a good feeling and it's enjoyable, but it's not a polished game at this stage.
The game dev has been very responsive to comments and has fixed a number of issues, improving the game a lot. Thanks!
PROS
+ It has a very good roguelike feeling to it
+ Enjoyable
+ So far the difficulty has been about right
+ The atmosphere is pretty good
+ Good sound effects; basic but effective
+ It's cheap
CONS
- The interface of this game is pretty bad. Options open in separate windows. The map is pretty darn bad and should really open in a larger window. There's no quick sell in shops that I can figure out.
- The video I have seen was very amateurish. Kinda keeping in theme though. The voice acting is less bad, but keeps cutting out like the music does.
- The music hardly ever plays, but it's good when it does.
- Can't truly customise keys, though there are skill buttons you can program
- You can do a melee attack using the arrow keys, but it seems you can't do a ranged attack using keys so you've gotta use the mouse for that. Usally a game like this would let you push a key to enter ranged mode. It feels really awkward using qweadzxc with the mouse to aim, but it does still work okay. Okay, after playing a while, I found you can right click on an skill slot at the bottom and bind the ranged attack to it, but then you can only attack in the 8 main directions. Better than nothing I suppose.
- There's sometimes a delay for about a second after attacking or using a special move. This seems to mainly occur after alt-tabbing from another program.
- There's several spelling mistakes, but nothing too major that I've seen
OBSERVATIONS
- I would recommend trying the warrior first, as the first few levels are easy with the tough guy.
- If you run into trouble with the caster type, try again but choose a different skill. Improving the starting skill didn't seem to be effective enough, but taking the Skapens skill worked a treat.

I'll just get right to the pros and cons:
Pros:
- This game has a great combat and spell system. The developer has clearly put a lot of time and thought into this, as well as the tutorials and the overall story.
- Lots of character and equipment options
- Nice background music
- Game is very changing, especially on higher difficulties
- Tons of different monsters and levels
Cons:
- The game uses standard windows forms controls which look very out of place for a game
- The bestiary is really, really slow to load, especially as you kill more and more monsters
- I'd like to see an auto save in case I accidentally quit the game or it crashes
- Having a contact / feedback link more visible on the main menu would be nice
- Please add shift click to sell fast in the stores
Great job overall!

I owned about 20 rogue like games on steam, and this is one of the better ones that Iike. The greatest attraction of this game for me is it's SIMPLICITY. Tales of Maj'Eyal which I loved as well, is a bit too complicated, so it is such a breath of fresh air for me to play this game because I almost don't have to think much :). I love it.
The only thing that is really missing in this game is the Steam Achievements. This game does have in-game achievments, but unfortunately it is character-based, and not persistant throughout the account. Achievements is like the wonderful icing that is missing from this very simple and fun game!!!
Hopefully the developer can consider implementing achievements.

I could have played this game in the 80s. It is that retro. You choose your stats like any other D&D clone, with a class choice of assassin, mystic, or barbarian. You make your way through a very primitive tower. A bit mindless. A bit fun. Not for those needing killer graphics to enjoy a game. Nor would I suggest it to anyone seeking a great story. For loot and exploration lovers.

This game brought back memories of the good old days when I played D&D. This game is an awesome draft to a full game! Keep up the good work!

I had a issue with this game and the devs fixed it right awaqy.. that was so amazing ..fast fix!!!!!! it is now fully functional and im enjoying it best couple of bux i ever spent :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

worth it just for the intro cutscene
