Fantastic CRPG that harkens back to the days of Wizardry and Might & Magic, except now you're the evil wizard and your party is a pack of monsters! It really grew on me once I gave it a chance to sink its teeth in, especially after beating the first boss (who's hard as hell, btw - at least on Hard difficulty). That's the point when the game world opens up a bit, giving access to an evil little town to visit between dungeons. Eventually you'll even find additional party members that you can swap out between fights, including at least one interesting monster that isn't an option at the start when picking your initial party members. Basically, if you feel any sort of nostalgia for 90s RPGs, do yourself a favor and scoop this bad boy up!

Strengths: Fun and rewarding combat, playable characters are well developed, balanced party compositions. Flaws: Overstays its welcome and gets repetitive, buggy achievements and in other random places.

A decent dungeon crawl, with great art work. It has it's flaws but for the price point, it's a great deal.

Easily one of my favorite games. Decent build diversity. good difficulty curve, and it's got a decent sense of humor without being intrusive to the atmosphere. Jesse Gallagher's soundtrack is also fantastic. Very good throwback to old school dungeon crawlers, and the monster/demon summoning aspect and emphasis on status management brings to mind some of the simpler Megami Tensei games. Only real negative is that the game is rather buggy and given that it's been about a decade since the game dropped and Ultra Runway has gone dark, it's fairly safe to say it's abandoned. There's several bugged achievements, and annoyingly they're all tied to a side quest which would unlock very powerful late game item if it functioned properly. There's also sections of wonky level geometry where you'll notice jarring seams in walls or floor textures at times,. There's also two backer-only Thralls which have never been made public, the Succubus and Dryad, though it seems they're nothing but generic party members reskinned with two or three skills swapped around. Still, somewhat sad to see the game's been left in a very unpolished state. Overall, I'd recommend this game to anyone looking for a satisfying dungeon crawler, and have bought it for several friends who enjoyed it themselves. Just bear in mind it's still got rough edges in places.
