How it feels

A methodical, turn-based dungeon crawl where every step risks permadeath and each run is a new procedural puzzle.

What players say

Players call it a historically important game that still holds up once you learn its cryptic controls. The turn-based combat makes deaths feel fair, but it is brutally hard and relies heavily on luck. Some say it is not worth paying for when free versions exist, while others find themselves coming back to the original.
