The barbarian's Heavy Weapon Mastery and the knight's Shield Focus may seem incompatible... until you use a 1.5 handed weapon and a staff. Brb, I'm going to whack some sorry heads in with my staff of Earth.

When I did a play-through, it said that I unlocked the Knight and the Barbarian, but when I died and failed to save the princess, I went on new campaign and load game and it wasn't there? Is this exclusive on steam? If not can you please maybe fix this?
You have to reach warrior level 5 to access those class for this game only. It is a prerequisite more than an unlock. And you can learn all classes during a game

the best way is 1) peek around corner see enemy shoot them wait until it come close to kill it cause you will get heart (your hp restore) don't kill too far cause if you need heart you can't get it 2) if you got corner use buff to deal mobs quick and lose few life 3) use health potion if low health and no heart and use energy potion when in combat (cause you can't rest while combat) overall is a hard game is want to play slow peace the heart drop is easy to find but the only biggest threat is
high-dodge enemy seriously i do 1v1 fight and i miss him it hit hard force me to use 2 hp potion even i have 14/15 hit and bat have low hp is piss me off a lot... and about ranged enemy they are easy hide in corner wait tell it come than melee

Ok, I got gud (and a bs-overpowered ring to carry me in the early game) and got to the kids-- and then the poison-splash lizards killed literally all of the children I saved in two turns, so now I can't progress, probably due to some flag not triggering. Can't get the kids to the exit if they died, I suppose. I was forced to kill myself and end the game as a failure. I get that you can't fix it due to having deleted your old dev tools, I'm just saying that I'm leaving this game with a bad taste in my mouth.
Haha it is a roguelike, it's meant to be difficult. My favorite roguelike (DCSS) has about 2-3% win ratio in tournament. Choose your fights, get back often to fight monsters one at a time.

Its as if i cast haste every few min and permanently reduce the available energy. F****** annoying. I have no spells that costs max energy besides haste which i dont use.

Buggy. Permanently losing max fatigue bar as the game goes on. Turned of all passive spells and unequiped everything. Moved between floors and shit. Still only half the bar. Its not fun when stuff like that bugs out the game.
four years ... wow. I cannot modify the game anymore (at least not without spending a lot of time reinstalling building tools ... i moved from actionscript to unity and changed computer since the last version of 1Quest), so no sorry, the tower won't come back I guess :/

something is wrong with the tower, a kong sign with a lock appears on it and when I click it it just opens the game again on another tab

Strategy and clear thinking is a must in this game, if you gamble, chances are you will lose. Never go in a situation without knowing what will you face, if in trouble make sure you can backpedal to a defendeble position. It is very important to rely on the walls, keep in mind where can opponents be and know where can you retreat if the coast is not clear.

Why is the game window suddenly larger than my browser screen? Its beyond annoying to have to slide the window across in order to reach my inventory slots, and then have to go back to apply stat bonuses.. this wasn't an issue peviously, so what changed??

It also sucks when you get sent to a floor with only 4 enemies. There was no way out of that one room. I'd say it was a glitch if that room didn't have 3 chests in it. Thx for screwing me out of EXP.

A game that is based on luck. Strategy doesn't matter. You can die on the first level easily if you don't waste your potions. If you get lucky with health drops, not getting lucky with item drops will kill you.

A word of advice to those playing- putting a point into both transmutation and holy affinity (You can also get the affinity with two levels in Priest, which is arguably more useful and more affordable) for heal is pretty much mandatory to survive past the first stage.
Don't give up, your first few tries are going to crash and burn.

dont play this game like the youtubers. its a rogue-like, and a very good one at that. i've won the campaign twice now with just a few throwaway characters to learn the ropes. you never need to die. once i sacrificed 2 days to do extra dungeons for xp, the other time 3 days. the first one was a rogue who built up his xtra classes, the second one (hurray!!) a mage. i might yet figure out how to get to perfectio, but sacrifice a few children on your way to the final campaign dungeon and pay close attention to the stats shown in inventory and extra weapon procs and you'll be fine. i could not work out how magic worked for the longest time, so maybe do what i did and run melee throw away characters until you get a feel for when to raise what stat. heck, sacrifice all the children by doing extra dungeons if you must and laugh with me at how powerful you get if you can manage to play this like a 4ish hour rogue-like.

@ Naelwyn: You should be able to climb past 60 if you bias affinities towards your play/attack style. I'm currently on floor 239 and still fighting, although it is getting extremely difficult. I've blown through 6 RoL in the last 10 or so levels due to the foes who can kill me instantly (elder vampires, mosquitoes, big cats, etc.). But as long as I can Fury (+122) them, my main attack—Mind Burn (+122 hit / 292 dam)— can take them down while they're busy fighting others. Still, with the increasing number of foes I can't touch (too many to list), combined with the exponential cost of affinity, it is getting close to impossible to clear levels, even with Furied mosquitoes, bats, and cats fighting for me. But I've gotten this far by putting everything possible into Fire (just bought #69 for 2.6 million XP, #70 will cost me 4.2M - LOL) to maximize the small, but sole scaling advantage that affinity offers.

Of the new content: I especially love the poison spitting drakes once I've acquired poison immunity - they are occasionally quite helpful at handling others because of the AoE. It didn't end up being too useful since most of what you encounter with them is also poison-immune. (Nice setup, dev wise.)
Mosquitos also add some additional challenge to the very earlygame for ranged users.
The game remains pretty darn interesting, I just wish some of the scaling issues were addressed so I could climb past a certain point in the tower without having to stop fighting the enemies. (That point is level 60.) The other thing I could suggest would be capping the cost to increase a stat at 9999 or similar.
Thanks for your report! As you may guess, I've spend more time balancing the campaign than the tower at high level. My effort are now on solving the performances issues by switching to Unity in order to start working on 2Quests. I do not really have the time to tune the tower finely for so few players :/ (because it is damn long to play test for all classes)

Combined with the Highest level reporting (Also reporting the bug) not working and there's no real re-playability from the last time I played well over a year ago, even though there have been numerous patches, I see most of them as a nerf. (The combination of artifact scale capping and summon capping means there is absolutely no way to advance beyond a certain point, where I ran into a wall. I resolved not to abuse time step to go further.)
Suggestions for more tower re-playability and adding some risk/reward: Actually killing the element guardians guarantees a legend drop. Let legends scale indefinitely. Let summons scale with the tower.

Replayed this after leaving it for a long time to see if anything new was available, some comments:
Revisited this after a long absence to see what was different and the main thing I could see being changed in the patches is the removal of pretty much all the ways to legitimately climb the tower instead of using time stop and RNG, even summons. Why their scaling with the tower was taken out doesn't make much sense to me, essentially condemning another couple builds past level 10, and I don't know why - the other summons still scale, but without scaling summons there is pretty much no battlefield control left available.

I cannot reproduce the helm of wisdom bug either. With the helm equipped, I still learn new spells (and they automatically appears in the action bar) ... The gorgon bug is solved.

Yeah so how does one actually cast spells? I can't figure out how to move them to the hotbar. I've tried dragging, holding the number while clicking, highlighting it and then pressing the number... Any of these should work but none of them seem to.
They should appear alone, but dragging should work too. You can drag them from the spell menu, or by long click on any empty action slot of the bar (all available actions should appear above)

if there is a second game can the increment between mob levels be lower? i've lost count of how many times my precious character died because a much higher levelled mob randomly appeared and trashed him cause i couldn't hit back

What a crap game. 90% of all the time, the game tells me "can't attack the target" but no one word WHY. So all I can do is run around and wait until the enemies kill me. Crap. 1/5 stars.
It means that no powers configured in auto attack can be used, but it can be a different reason for each power, that why the message it not precise. If it is on all enemy, it must be either you have no weapons equipped, or you have selected a power that cannot be used (like rage in close combat)

When I try to attack, my character tries to move to the enemy only, I tried the attack nearest enemy button, but that didn't seem to work either, any reason why it done that? >_<

When playing the "Save the Merchant" quest during the campaign, once you escort the merchant to the exit and he says goodbye, he leaves his reward on the exit stairs. You can't see it on the map but when you stand there you will see the pick up item button appear. Just fyi :)

I think I just found a bug, I moved the mouse several times above mind freeze and the number of the duration keeped changing every time to a random (I think) number between 4 and 9
That because the duration is random, it happens to some other spells too. The game computes a duration instead of writing the effect in a proper language. Mind Freeze duration is (Water+1)D3. So with 2 in water, between 3 and 9 turns

New patch! with a new race, new spells & monsters. Full patch notes: http://ratzngodz.fr/blog//index.php?pages/Patchnotes
Is there anything in particular that happen during the play where the save was erased ? NB : dying in the tower of chaos, or being killed by the demon lord, results in a save erasing, it is not a bug
I don't want to :) The UI is already hard to understand. There is an achievement to prove to yourself that you made it, and restarting the game is not that long.
Tower of Chaos has classic perma death.
To match elves :)
All cards should be duplicate for both male and female. It may be done, one day. We didn't have the time to make them all, but do not wanted to remove the option of playing both male and female, so for now it is randomized
