How it feels

A methodical and strategic dungeon-crawling RPG that feels like a classic adventure, balancing careful exploration and turn-based combat with a sense of peaceful discovery.

What players say

Players say this is a no-frills dungeon crawler faithful to the 2007 original, with the draw-your-own-map mechanic as the main draw. The difficulty starts punishing, eases up mid-game, then spikes hard in the post-game. Late-game balance is a sore point: players either find your party too strong by level 40 or call the final bosses unfair since they can one-shot you.
