Had a good time. This game is not chill. It is mechanically challenging and requires every step of planning. The problem with this game is that it is not very balanced: mage feels more op than warriors some gods are way better than others some items are necessities with low cost while others are useless in most situation but costs a lot. I think the RNG problem is, at its core, the balance issue. But if you prepare well, RNG should not be a huge obstacle.

Way better than Witcher 3

The game in a nutshell: It's basically Minesweeper with RPG elements. It's actually pretty enjoyable though, it gives one the initial impression of being a very simple game until you actually try to master it.

This one was a journey. I thought the RNG was going to be merciless but it was very fair in the end. Runestone keeper is an old game, almost a decade old now but I feel it still holds up on ym favorite genre of turn-based perma-death dungeon crawling. Although the perma-death is used very loosely here as a run can be as quick as 20 minutes or so if you rush it or as long as 3 hours if you go slow. The game mechanics will take a couple of hours to learn but from there the fun begins as you start unlocking new characters and start debating what playstyle fits you best, two handed swords with chain effects, armor piercing ranged weapons, magic based freezing wands, damage reflective tank armor build, etc. In the end, you'll have around 10 characters to choose from each with its own unique spells and preferred builds, some very specific and others very versatile. On top of that, you have Gods you can worship that give you cool effects to strengthen your specific build even further and even if you keep dying, you'll keep your gold to unlock upgrades that will help you slightly in future runs. As far as achievements go, you can 100% in around 50 to 70 hours with some luck since some achievements are tied to RNG (finding events or god statues), others require skills (surviving with heavy debuff effects) and others will test your troubleshooting as they impose challenges during your entire run. I found it very balanced. Music was very limited, maybe 3 or 4 tracks in the whole game but the devs were a small team so I understand, graphics were ok but the game fun comes from the challenge of its game's mechanics. There is almost zero story here. I did enjoy the week or so I spent on the game, in the end, the gridn had me doing runs while listening to audiobooks until the RNG graced me with the things I needed. All in all, Runestone keeper gets 3 overlord enemies with ATK equal to my current health which oneshot me because I wasnt paying attention out of 5 times I died because I clicked on the wrong event answer and the decrease in stats made me unable to wield my main weapon leaving me only with my stupid fist damage. Nice game!
