What players say

Players say this is brutally difficult with a clunky interface, and runs take too long to become engaging. The game is seen as a classic roguelike, but modern players find the lack of save-and-quit and messy inventory management frustrating. Some praise the deep mechanics and sense of accomplishment, while others say it is too repetitive and punishing.
