I got really surprised how satisfying is to play this game. Solve puzzles, uncover secrets, get better gear, slay monsters.

Not sure why the recent reviews are mixed, this is a great game. A bit obscure at times with its puzzles, and a little clunky by modern standards, but still a fun game. Seeing as one of the recent negative reviews is "How the ♥♥♥♥ attack in this game? Non key works." when the game TELLS you that all you need to do is right click to attack, I can only assume the negative reviews were left by morons.

This game was one of the first dungeon crawlers I've ever played. And right from the start, I can already tell it's a perfect entry point for beginners in the genre. The real-time, grid-based combat is both satisfying and unique (at least for me as a newcomer). Proper positioning and kiting enemies, especially the larger ones, are really the star of this game. The leveling system and classes is easy to understand and rewarding. Nearly every aspect of the game is enjoyable and tactile, from inventory management to the crafting and magic systems. The latter strikes a nice balance between simple one-button casting and more complex methods like drawing sigils (as in Arx Fatalis). One minor downside for me was the game's heavy reliance on puzzles and secrets. While they are fun to discover and solve, and are never unfair (unlike the random secret walls in King's Field), I found myself enjoying the combat, leveling, and looting aspects more. Additionally, I wish there was a bit more variety in the visual design of the levels. I personally would have liked the inclusion of an underground settlement with NPCs and shops, which would greatly enhance the game's atmosphere and potentially add some interesting mechanics. It's worth noting that the sequel to this game has made significant improvements in many areas, including level variety, with outdoor areas and true verticality. Overall, this is a solid game, and considering how cheap it can be during sales, it's a no-brainer to pick up.

Good if you want a 1990s style dungeon crawler. Most fun when played blind and you allow yourself to suffer a little. Reminds me of an era when gaming on your computer was a special event, and not something you did in the background while on a discord call.

A kind of homage to old dungeon crawling RPG's like Eye of the Beholder, from the very short time I've spent with it, must say I'm pleasantly surprised. I had this lost in the darkest pits of my backlog for so many, many years and didn't even knew I had it! :D For now it has been very enjoyable and the sense of exploration and adventure is pretty good. Nice puzzles too. My main criticism for now is the combat, quite simplistic and... easy? You'll just need to move backwards while hitting the enemy. Let's see how thing evolve, I'll update this later when I finish or get bored.
