Caverns of Turmoil
Tags for Caverns of Turmoil
Description
Explore the caverns, battle dangerous foes, avoid vicious traps!
Choose one of 7 playable characters – or just watch Bod the Troll descend into the dungeon.
How to Play
Loading the game can take a few seconds – please be patient.
In case the game does not react to keyboard input: Try clicking into the game with the mouse once.
Press “New Game” to start a game with one of the playable characters.
In the game use the mouse or the arrow keys to move and attack.
The overlay help describes the button functions and gives you battle estimates. With the buttons on the right side around the cursor buttons you can do: Descend, rest, increase skills, show inventory, etc
Keep an eye on Turmoil! Its displayed at the bottom of the right panel. Going down to the next level lowers it by 10%.
And never forget that in the Caverns of Turmoil life is short and death comes quickly!
There is also a “Manual” in the main menu – make sure to read it if you want to understand the game mechanics.
If the game screen is too small you can use the “Zoom” function of your browser to make it larger.
Developer Updates
V 1.03.00
- map view highlights unexplored paths
- added level info button (key ‘l’) for showing current known level/exploration stats
- extended save file format; this version can load the older save file version but older versions of the game cannot load the new format and will probably crash; only a problem for exotic use cases
- new monster
- new item
- some more minor changes

@ ZREVNUR: "Is it a terrible idea because you dislike it or because it "makes no sense"?" - I dislike it because it's not a fun game mechanic in my opinion and because the logic is flawed. As for your example: you are mixing up negative experiences and losing experience. If you take a hit to the jaw that's certainly a negative experience. After taking 100 hits to the jaw you'll have learned to anticipate the impact and roll with the blow, and are thus more experienced, not less. There is little that would warrant losing exp short of severe brain damage. Again: If you kill all monsters on 3 floors and heal before descending you'll gain exp, if you kill all but 1 monster on 100 floors without ever healing you'll lose exp. Certainly the veteran who manages the later feat is more experienced, but gets less/no exp for the ordeal. Now, if there are balancing reasons for not wanting to change it that's fine.

I really like this game. At first you really need to get into it. It is not easily possible to be successful without reading the manual. But the manual is very good. It explains really a lot. If you ever make a second part of it I will surely be happy to play that as well. Rated it 5/5

"Navigated another floor of the dungeon, slayed lots of monsters, survived some traps - clearly i'm much LESS experienced now than i was before, further and further away from progressing and learning the ins and outs of spelunking" If this statement sounds stupid it's because it is. The exp system is badly balanced, losing experience (not just making net zero, but actually losing exp you already had) for progressing in the cave is a terrible idea.

Is it a terrible idea because you dislike it or because it "makes no sense"? Real life example: A child 'Chris' gets run over by a car but survives. Because of that Chris becomes very fearful of cars. Even as a grown up Chris still has trouble with cars and gets anxiety attacks when driving one. So the experience of getting run over by the car has strong negative consequences for Chris. That is what the negative experience represents.

The game concept is okay. The turmoil making everything worse for you gets really stupid. And every last flaw is worse than every perk. And the Exp gain system hinders development

I gave 5 star but just to boost the rating, the game is very interesting but the exp return need to be increased, really. Think about the flaws and do something accordly
