Under rating threshold (show) @Oleg: Golem face doesn't give "perfect armor & HP". It just gives HIGH defense and HP. Armors with undead enchant has a chance to revive you as skeleton when you die not just Undead rune. Eating identify rune reveals the whole map and identifies any unknown runes or hidden cursed weapons in your inventory. you don't have to wear monster faces & eat identify runes to figure out the info, you can just throw it at them.

Under rating threshold (show) @Toast: The Cog weapon has a built in "?" enchant (chaos enchant). That thing is made up of the same thing as the RNG (Random Number God) altar you use to get random things. So yeah, hitting an enemy with that may randomly cause enemies to experience the same effect as being hit with an XP Rune (quickening, Level Up, Temp. Haste).

Under rating threshold (show) Escaping without the Amulet of Yendor gives you a different ending. Also: The Overworld doesn't preserve the Amulet, the Balrog's Face, or the Death's Scythe across reincarnations. It removes those items AND it looks like it also removes all other items on the same stack. So be careful. (Either that or I hit an item limit. But I doubt it. Will double-check next ascension.)

Under rating threshold (show) I'll need to stockpile and double-check rune effects now that I know the overworld trick. Undead on weapons looks like it might heal your minion through kill/"sacrifices". Not what I'd expect....

Under rating threshold (show) If I'd been told that someone made a spiritual sequel to Rogue--let alone a darker & edgier one--I would have been incredulous as how that could possibly work. However, I'm truly impressed by your work. I love the way you blended Rogue's gameplay with the action RPG mechanic (and some fresh elements), AND provided the option for the original turn-based mechanic. I'm also surprised and delighted with how well the moody, emotional story works. It seamlessly fleshes out the framing device of Rogue into a real storyline. As someone who still plays Rogue, I say well-done. This feels like an honest-to-goodness sequel to me and a very worthy successor. I'll be playing this for days. :)

Under rating threshold (show) Patch 1.0.3 should be up now. Pretty sure I uploaded it a while ago but someone just mentioned an old bug below and what do you know, uploading it didn't work (pretty sure I published as well). A lot of bugs were fixed and a few tuning changes as well.

Developer response from st33d

Need to give it a little time to confirm the game is stable (very hard to track bugs when you can do odd things like enchant your bow with light or gain the ability to walk thru walls). Then if there's enough demand we'll see about some badges. Feel free to make suggestions.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay, I need to confirmed, please. Does enchanting a weapon with a Heal Rune, cause your target to regen HP? This seems to be the case as far as I can tell. Shouldn't that particular enchantment heal you when you attack with that weapon, instead of healing your target?

Under rating threshold (show) A portal to the Underworld lets your minion come back if it dies. Eating runes: Bleed - you take HP damage. Heal - fast HP regen. Light - you light the area for a while. Thorns - ???. Undead - if you are killed shortly after, you gain full HP and your character now looks like a skeleton.

Under rating threshold (show) This is an astonishingly well made game. The combat can be fast paced and fiercely tactical, and the developer gives you the choice between two combat types. The atmosphere is perfect, and when combined with the stellar soundtrack is well deserving of the horror tag. Superb presentation.

Under rating threshold (show) great game and pleasantly confusing - still I'd like to know what the hell is the undead rune supposed to do when cast on equipment.The greatest complain is no doubt the minion AI - he's too dumb to live or do anything really useful after floor 5.Maybe is it because of the "bravery" stat?he seems to flee everytime a monster tries to gut me...

Under rating threshold (show) I think that the entries in the log (besides maps) should stay there even if you die, it would make it easier to access data easier, and it would give you an incentive to collect the data, without raging when you die because of all the data you got was erased.

Under rating threshold (show) Did I do something wrong? Long before I even knew of the balrog, I had ate a rune of undead and I thought that was why I came back as a skeleton when I died, no explanation was given. So much later after collapsing the dungeon the game says something about me using a rune of time, which I never saw. There were 2 runes I hadn't identified yet before going home. I killed the balrog by having a LOT of haste on my armor and a blessed gun blade. I was able to pin him against a wall with the blessed gun blade. :)

Under rating threshold (show) Monsters only quicken when hit with an XP rune. most of the time that kills you. Or if you're lucky you survive but the monster's level is higher and it gets a sudden boost of Haste. The Lightning weapon doesn't cause quicken when hitting enemies unless it's enchanted with the "?" (Chaos) rune.

Under rating threshold (show) You can't set a hotkey for the map, but you can set one for a quest? O_o And all it does is go to that quest in the menu but doesn't open the menu. So a map hotkey would require you to open the menu anyways it seems, because the map isn't a window in and of itself as far as I can tell, it's just part of the menu. So, yeah, a separate map that's accessible from a hotkey would be great. :)

Under rating threshold (show) @The_Anonymus: You're right, the lightning weapon doesn't activate a quickening when hitting an enemy. I didn't test this yesterday because I thought I might lose the bolt if I threw it but, today I found that it can be reused as a throwing weapon and it shoots lightning as it flies through the air. It's awesome. :) However now I'm scared for enemies wielding a lightning bolt. lol... :(

Under rating threshold (show) The game should save just before you go home. I was told I couldn't take items, so I figured there would be more game play later. So I dumped all my items only to find that the last save was before that, so I wasn't able to take my good stuff to the post game.
