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.

Excellent game. Great game play, great immersion and it really captures the old school feeling of just sludging through a dark dangerous dungeon with great enemy design and good lore.

Between this (older) title and the recent Wizardry Proving Ground of the Mad King, this is actually a fantastic modernized version of the cRPG Grid Based Movement Turn Based Dungeon Crawler. The combat is a mix of real time/turn based using an turn cooldown mechanic that works. This mechanic adds a fantastic method of strategy to the genre regarding how you arm your party. The graphics are super clean and are not a strain at all on your system. With support for the Steam Workshop, you also have the potential for a variety of replay value with new mazes/dungeons, enemies and more. Animation is clean, and looks great. The UI/UX is clean and simple without clutter. You also have a modern mapping system to help you navigate the mazes. Controls caught me off guard at first. However, within moments I can't imagine playing it any other way. wasd with q/e for turning just makes sense here. Using a controller? Well, the shoulders turn you. Not that I recommend controller due to finding it easier to mouse click for combat/magic. However, this is a subjecting point. Since this is more than half the cost of Wizardry Proving Ground (which I do thoroughly enjoy too), you can NOT go wrong here.

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.
