Vovilla: I totally agree. I wasn't able to beat the badge until I watched the tutorial video a second time. In that video it is difficult to understand what he says as he talks quickly and doesn't enunciate. In addition, he assumes that we can follow his quick movements and register everything while he misses explaining some parts. So I had to replay the video multiple times, in some sections. But once I got through it, I not only won the badge but got through the first 8 levels in one try. FYI: the main reason why I had done poorly was not using the sprint. It truly helped save me. I played Ranger as I prefer to attack from a distance and have more straight-forward abilities. Good luck! This is the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM0o3oD7fNA

@vovillia Best advice I can give is you take it slow down, it is turn-based not real-time. There's a reason why the hard badge is called 'no time to think'.

@Spirala how'd you get the seeded game to work? It doesn't want to do anything for me. do you need to type something in or what?

After 85min fighting, "your Level 15 Necromancer was killed by a demotaur in the vault of Yendor".
Total 300+min in this game, not even meet the final boss, I fcking suck :(

The overhaul of stealth has really ham stringed the rogue class. With critical damage being fairly weak, and the abilty to improve it being a duelist skill, it's really hard to get any real damage in. And I can't tell where enemies can detect me unlike previous games so stealth is much less useful.

The duelist step back skill is useful for strafing. You get a free attack in for one movement point. At higher levels with lunge you can chain together attacks while maintaining mobility.

I've used the Duelist 10 times now, and never gotten past floor 3 - that stepping back ability is crap; has anyone figured out how to use the Duelist with a degree of success? Haven't finished a single full run with any class yet, though still trying.

@Darklumina What do you mean by 'good weapon'? Afaik, there are no class restrictions on weapons. Which is useful e.g. Mage using a bow because enemy is resistant to the staff element.
@musea9 Before you get more frustrated, I think it would help if you have a look at the controls and watch a tutorial.

To get the BOTD I used the seeded game option after pressing new game - that allows you to keep replaying the same map configurations so you can find out where and what the hazards are - for me that was the easiest way to get the easy badge after a couple of tries

jascaicps1's comment is actually right, take your time, a few things to remember is to pay attention to your next few moves (and longer plan, too, but sometime RNG make it hard or even impossible to win with some build); surviving skill/items (healing, Fortitude, Jump, blink, protection, reflect, block...) help you escape hard situation, not damage items; you don't have to kill all the mobs; max level is 16, stats, talents and enchant scroll is valuable, use them wisely; going up/down stairs can be used to divide the horde chasing you; healing cures poison; kill mobs => grab the goblet => kill the final boss

nul!!
beaucoup trop dur
dés l'étage 3, on se prend quasi instantanément à la sortie de l'escalier des groupes de 5 à 6 ennemis qui te saute dessus
c'est juste horrible!!

Really? You need to beat 4 floors in order to get the "Easy" badge? This game is so ridiculously unbalanced I'm often thrown into an impossible situation with my first encounter! I'd go so far as to say that this game is even more difficult than Zelda II: The Adventures of Link on the NES. How this programmer expects people to want to play this, much less pay for it on Steam, is completely beyond me. Someone, please make it make sense, because I just don't see it.

A challenging update to a great game! I'd like to suggest an additional badge to balance-off some of the 'Total Win' high numbers, which I suspect are players just re-running the same map over and over. An additional HARD badge should be: Win once using all 10 classes

I'm calling BS on Duelist being overpowered. It can work alright if you get the right gear, but it's way easier to win with Barbarian or Necromancer.

We're now live on Steam Early Access where the game will be continuing development for another 3 years or so. First update has races reintroduced and 44 new items!

AWESOME GAME! But "Total Wins" Kongregate score category is like "Time spending" challenge. I want "Daily challenge best win streak" high scores.

Hunger sucks for backtracking to unused fountains. I think a better solution would be it only "ticks" for travelling unexplored areas/on the farthest floor
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@fakezero - the hunger/food seems fine. I haven't had a game where I was starving without food. If you're using food as a heal/potion then I think that means you need plan your moves more and fight near mushrooms.

I did a few seed games to test, then 3 barb wins in a row on randoms. RNG is tough.. But once you get to know the game it gets more consistent

I just... Don't enjoy this game as much as RF3. I spent so much time on that game, the difficulty was perfect, felt much more random and diverse. This one feels like the same game, but worse. I like the bosses, kinda, but this game is so much less forgiving, and feels somehow less tactical and diverse. It probably didn't need to exist, tbh. And that's coming from someone who loves, loves this series of games.

Tried to play this game for maybe two hours in total and haven't been able to finish a single full run. Not really enjoying it anymore. Too much RNG for my tastes. There is no sense of progression that would make me keep coming back for more. I guess the easy badge is all I'll get here.

Any general tips for people who suck at rogue-like games? What class to start with, is it better to clear floors or rush to next floors, any items/enemies to prioritize/ignore etc?
If you right click on the game page and select 'inspect' you can open up the console window. Find the Application tab and under localStorage find the thing labeled something like game324380. You can delete the GameRecords file and it will reset your records. This is for Chrome but other browsers should be pretty similar.

I officially hate this game. It is completely ridiculous the number of mobs that you have to fight to get through. The difficulty is way out of skew. RF3 was awesome, this is frustrating just for the sake of it.
