Why is there no option to manually save? There should at least be some kind of option to be unlocked or paid for that you can play with manual saves. I keep searching for a casual version of this game, but every single one is perma death. I understand the aspect of a rogue dungeon crawler, but I just want an option to not ruin 4 hours of time by clicking one time too fast, or god forbid a misclick. Just disable achievements and unlocks for a manual save option, so nobody can save scum.
Started up the game after a brief hiatus. First potion I found was a Pride Potion, in celebration of Pride Month. Quit the run, uninstalled immediately. No thanks.
best rouge like there is though they support pride, very sad to see the game get trashed
it was fun until they changed the UI . Now you will run across the map and never touch it . Oh its no longer a rouge game its jump you when ever to make money
Your character has the metabolism of a hummingbird, there's not enough food, the game punishes exploration, enemies drain your health, constantly being swarmed and yet you are starved of resources. I've delivered the amulet to the surface like three times, I know this game is really unbalanced- half of the runs are a big waste of time. It's the typical indie developer gimmick using the crutch of RNG for the bulk of gameplay mechanics due to not knowing how to balance the game.
yeah i don't get what the point of this game is. i played the OG PD but this game just drops you in and surrounds you with enemies who dodge 100% of your attacks. at what point do i get better gear, and it has to be immediately because i can't even make it to the third room. don't like this game version at all compared to the OG.
spawned in. first enemy snake. miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss dead. i don't understand what the point of this game is.
love this game but really? ring of wealth level 13+ and still 30 times in row i get nothing from enemies? also lucky enchantment on the bow and still nothing XD no matter how much i love this game and how long i have played i feel betrayed soo badly by the game
This game could really benefit from an easy mode or an advanced settings menu of sorts for difficulty. I understand that it being hard is why people like it, even if I don't agree, I don't want the game to become unenjoyable for others. I love it, and that's why it's disappointing when you can't get past the second level and the rest of the game is sntirely inaccesible to you.
