the only thing I can think of suggesting at this moment, is add some manner of examining things on the ground/stairs, so we can just choose not to pick things up and sort them out, or figure out which stairs are new *in case we lost track* if it IS in the game, then it's not obvious.

all things considered this is rather well done! being actually pretty heavily customizable is HUGE, HUGE I say, though admittedly I haven't figured out how to get my *initial* caster to actually bonk people instead of shoot stuff but that seems largely unnecessary. If this were expanded *and maybe without a time limit.. or a longer one who knows* I'd probably play it. I mean I'm playing it now so.. I guess I'd... play an expanded version.. harder?

Needs encyclopaedia,where all the info on classes and skills are accumulated. As is it is hard to remember which class at what level gives what.
I may do it later, but in the mean time, check http://www.kongregate.com/forums/3-general-gaming/topics/422280-1quest-discussion by Orangatuan and ravewarheit

The easiest class I've set up so far for the tower is a dwarf fighter. The earth might thing is nice, you just need 2 levels of transmute for 2str/2con boost. Also get a couple resistance quick, 30exp worth even right at the start can help a lot.
Go for two rogue levels after that, the poison and the reflexes are nice and everyone likes passives. Also, the bit of ranged skills you need will help with the squishy hard hitting magic guys if you can't get a dash on em.
After that I like to go warrior until I get the cleave attack. I think it's level 5 warrior, 7str 5armor 5 shield for knight class. His skills are great for tankyness and along the path you'll get a shield bash passive, which is awesome. I don't go for any weapon skill unless I find a legend type I like, since they seem to get better with you. As a last piece of advice, it seems that accuracy is very important. Try not to use a weapon that is less accurate than another unless it is quite a lot better.

Can we please save spells and classes we've seen before in our books? It suck when you forget what you need for stuff and put points in the wrong areas.

Some way to continue playing on a character or to use a character you beat the game with in the tower would be nice. Kinda sad to see my character go =(

The game feels like it was once a good turn based roguelike, but at the last second you turned it into a real time one. The game itself looks good and well featured, but the gameplay is just too frantic, especially with classic roguelike controls. Also, the UI needs to be redone from scratch, almost every UI element is severely lacking in readability and usability, the character selection screen especially shows a lack of thought.

Some rooms just have too many enemies to deal with. Also, summon skills could use a little more clarity. I have no idea how strong my elementals are.

Im on easy but i still get swamped with monsters and im dead before you know it and only getting 20-25 exp a stage in the very beginning doesn't really help much. You should get an exp per monster and if you die, you get a percentage of said exp points...if you complete the level you should get all of said experience. It took me 7 tries to get past the 1st and now I can barely move around in either of the 2nd dungeons. I like the concept. love the gameplay overall except for those reasons, You really have something going on here but it really does need leveling tweaks.
The game is quite hard, and meant to be. Try to play in easy until you win at least once (and yes, easy isn't easy compared to most game, but it is compared to most roguelike)

Really good game, with a surprising amount of depth to it. Only issues I have are the late game imbalance, the poor choice of font size, and the fact that subclasses don't advertise their perquisites (why?). UI scaling doesn't help the font issue, because it just means the text gets cut off for more complex items. I would also suggest doubling, maybe even tripling the damage done by elemental weapon effects on two handed weapons. There is no real reason to use them, so far as I can figure, as they barely do more damage, are slower, and have lower hit chances.

For equipment that increases run or attack speeds it would be nice to have your attack and move values listed somewhere, so you can see if they are worth a switch.

An option to start with auto-level off would be nice. Sometimes I forget right when I start and I get points into weapons skills or other things I don't want.

Tower of chaos sometimes seems to start you quite out of depth. Good game though, best I've played in a while here. Very nice to see a decent game that isn't a launch, idle, or tower defense.

I know, I simply meant that after you beat the game and unlock characters in the class screen, you should be able to see them as other characters once you start up another. At the least so you can see the requirements for said advanced classes.

I hope everyone gives this game a chance. Here are a few tips for new players:
1. You can drag the view around with your mouse. 2. You need to drag your ranged weapon onto the toolbar to use it 3. Dwarf is a good class to use for the "Earth Might" spell - just put a few points in transmutation to get it 4. Elf mage with "fire" affinity is good early on with fire breath. 5. Conjuration is a very good magic school for many classes - esp. priests since you will get life and death affinities. 5. Garuda is a great race because you can fly over water to get away from many monsters. 6. If you are a mage do levels for death/life affinity. If you are a priest do levels for fire/water/earth/air affinities

There is need for 2 races that have either 1 death affinity or 1 fire affinity.
I have to say,however,birdflight for a warrior can be devastating.

your numlock must be inactive. Page up/down are used to watch other levels in the dungeon, so it is normal to see nothing if you haven't been to this level yet

Also, for the Halberd weapon, I noticed the sprite for said weapon was wrong. The Halberd is a spear, and the sprite itself is a sword.

I love the way that you dealt with experience. Giving the "hero" the ability to auto-upgrade things was a great touch, and works greatly with a rouge-like.

Can't drag items to trashcan. Reloading helps, but it soon bugs out, again. Otherwise, fun to play, but really can't.

I thought it was perhaps a glitch, but I don't believe it is? I think once you go through a character and unlock the character classes, you should be able to keep said advanced classes as you go onto other characters. Or at the very least, once you max those character classes out. I went through as a rogue and maxed out both Assassin and Ranger/Archer, along with Rogue, but after I decided to try another class, at least just to unlock more, I didn't find them. Perhaps that should be a feature in future updates?
Many advanced classes have power based on the base classes, like ranger who modify the warrior's charge, so going direclty into an advanced class is not really possible. Each classes have 2 speciality (rogue's are assassin and archer) so you must raise another base classe

Pressed '3' on my numpad (to see if diagonal move worked). World blacked out. Unrecoverable. Game is still responsive.

OK, I've been playing for a bit now. The UI update is good, and I've got a better grip on ranged strategy. I don't really see any downsides to this game any more. The ranger class is amazing, btw. Level up Rogue and Warrior to 5 to get it.

Is it just me or is the demon weaker than most of the enemies on the last hex before the castle where the hostages are?

Great roguelike. You have some UI/accessibility issues - if the UI is small enough for the screen to be usable, you can't see how much XP a skill costs. My only substantive issue is that the balance appears to be skewed significantly towards ranged enemies. Some wide open levels are pretty much instant death due to being overwhelmed by ranged enemies.
I try to correct most UI issue (small update for the XP cost size). About the balancing, ranged enemies are hard in the firsts levels for some classes, and close combat enemies are hard for some classes in the later levels (try the fire golem :) ). The game is globally hard, but less than most roguelike.

And another patch!
UI scale is reset to standard (you can change it in the settings) but most text are now bigger.
Most icon have now tooltip with mouse over (except the top menu but I don't feel it necessary ... tell me if it is).
Difficulty is set to easy by default. But, as a lot of roguelike, it does not mean you won't die! You start with potions. Use them!

YOU CAN CLICK AND DRAG TO LOOK AROUND. a few hours in and i am just learning this, how did i not stumble into it on accident.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
if possible please make fire breath fire when you click in a field that it can hit, instead of walking into the middle of a pile of high damage melee enemies and dying like a drunk idiot.
It should be possible, but you won't have control over the angle for the breath. The best way is to click on firebreath and then on the tile next to you to breath in that direction.

The game has the potential, as in it grabs you in and you really start to enjoy the game, but a few things I have to nit-pick. I spend to much time trying to figure out which items best suit my character and I'm always having to compare items in my inventory, when I'd prefer to spend more time exploring. The buttons get in your way if you dont zoom out. I have no idea what each icon stands for. I don't know if I'm leveling-up (do I level-up?) The Pro's about the game: The Art/Animation is groovy, The auto leveling-up on the attributes is dope.
