Very fun game! 10/10 for sure...Kinda reminds me of a game for PS2 Champions of Norath...Very good game beat it with a warrior/mage/rouge/ranger
warrior has 42% insta kill nice nice

Also, i´ve found a team of 2 rouges, mage and a cleric good.
With 2 rouges beating the Corrupter is childs play. With clerics healing, it´s quite hard to loose simple battles.

There's a rather dirty trick you can do with two rogues if you want: just focus on attack power, and get one rogue the Hide skill and the other the Create Opening skill. when one is hiding, the other can sue Create Opening to instantly get the 200% damage bonus attack from the other rogue. and then, the other rogue can still get to use their next turn for whatever attack they desire (the 200% bonus only works for one attack, so it is cancelled then). a fairly cheap way to get two rogues to do the equivalent of four in one turn.

Finally... Fighter, cleric, ranger & mage. Getting quickness above 60 or 65 and you will go first every time. Greeblers have 65.

Waaayyy too fucking tedious with equipment micromanagement. For playabilty sake, you should just pretend we have a bag of holding and allow infinite equipment capacity.

Even if this is a "rip off" of fast crawl... it is a GREAT game... and it looks like HE made it? if he took the code of fastcrawl and used it then it is a "rip off" HE MADE THIS GAME... Think about it... how many SONIC games are there? or MARIO... or Final Fantasy-ish games...

i havent actually tried this, but anyone tell me if it'll work?
mage casts the prison spell to stun enemy
then rouge uses coup de grace to instant kill?

Decent game...it is very tedious to have to update your equipment every few rooms...I like that there are a lot of different options, but a "best equip" button would do wonders for the game rating.

Just got to lvl 50, this has been teh easier "imposible" badge i have done. the game is cool but its too easy. Dont read more if you dont want to know how i did it: just took four rangers and got them as much dexterity as i could, forget about leather armor, just take items that have kill %, stun %, quickness (at least have 65 in each character), weapon damage, mana regeneration. Armor its just pointless.

followed the advice from someone in the comments, and started on hard with 2 clerics, 1 mage and 1 ranger. Perfect combo! Use swiftness for +20 quickness on all, then use nature's balm on the clerics in the front row, use holy light on the enemies, and for long battles give everyone nature's balm (health regen +100% poison resistance). This way you can forget the items with poison res and focus on other things. on level3 now, with ease..

I tried Fast Crawl after reading about it from comments here. Both games remind me a bit of Ultima Underworld. There are only so many ways to traverse through a dungeon. I like this MD better than FC, much better interface. Any chance of an offline version to play when away from the net?

One Rogue and 3 Rangers are pretty good — the only problem is numerous dying of the Rogue in long battles. Armor class is useless all you need is damage, good quickness and secondary effects like stun and instant kill.

this game is hard at the beggining but when you got to lvl 10 onwards its very easy.. so when your just starting dont fight them.. thats my strategy

Garin, It's true that games are built on the backs of others, but credit should be given where credit is due.
I'm sorry for my initial comment, at first glance your game appeared to be nothing but a stripped down flash version of FastCrawl. (It annoyed me like the nintendo version of Tetris)
After playing your game more I can see how you changed the original idea by removing features and expanding the stats system.
Your game is a great work, but I believe that indie developers should support each other and draw attention to each others works.
If anybody is interested in FastCrawl they should at least check out the demo at http://www.pawleyscape.com/fastcrawl/

I just completed the Impossible badge, The game is quite fun but definitely repetitive after you complete the first 9 levels. Its still one of the best Flash hack and slash games, simple and rogue-like.
my party was C C Ra M, with the Cs acting like Fighters. most important items attributes for me were Speed, Accuracy, Damage, + heal, Stun Def, poison def. I only added stats to damage stat x2 and end. damage reflection is not needed, and its a burden for the corruptor. speed of 61+ is best, Cs use censers of speed no shield. accuracy should be 110%ish and for the Ra as high as possible, i had 140% in the end, as his hail of arrows is godly for secondary effects, and prowess can take out 75% of a creature boss in one shot. 2 Cs = 2 fervor and that is a good thing.
great job

hmmm, hard badge is... hard!
Tried a lot of combinations of characters, and none of them seem to last very long...
Even the one on some pages before, 1 warrior 3 mages is not doing well. As you stack the warrior with lots of armor, his quickness goes down so when he is ready to use shield wall, the mages are dead or heavily poisoned :) Tried it with 4 clerics, 2 warriors 2 clerics, etc.etc... Hard! Finally a real challenge for a hard badge :)

This right here is a great game and all, I liked the weapon variety, and skill choices (and the fact that you can still survive with just about any team). However, I must say that it gets easier and easier as you progress through the levels, it is for this reason that I am only rating it a 3/5. Had it gotten harder as it went on, my rating would be higher.
PS: Don't blame ya, for muting Stormcrow.

Alright, this is getting a bit ridiculous. Let me nip this shocking expose in the bud.
I'm aware of FastCrawl, obviously. It's a good game, albeit one with a different focus to mine. I wanted to do something in the same genre, and put my own spin on it. There's absolutely nothing shameful or unethical about this: almost every game is a synthesis or refinement of games that have come before. We're all standing on the shoulders of giants here, and I think it's a little misguided to hold up FastCrawl as a beacon of originality. It borrows its combat system from Disciples (which is one of my favorite games, and why I made a similar choice.)
The list of things in my game which are not in FastCrawl is much longer than the opposite list. We share no art or sounds, and the few types of monster that are in both games are just generic fantasy creatures. When people start throwing around words like "rip-off", it irks me a little.

I think it is great that Garin has muted me, but he can't mute me from the comments.
I'd love to see his defense on this one.
Just looking at the screenshots isn't enough Serj, you have to have an actual look and try at Fast Crawl to see how similar this game is.
I'm still playing this one, as Fast Crawl is a Free Demo /PAY for full version thing, but that doesn't change that fact that this is a RIP OFF
Can't mute me here Garin !!!
Howzabout you come on these comments and explain yourself ?
Oh, you won't cuz the people calling you a RIP OFF artist are RIGHT !
Peace

Simply outstanding effort! I had a great deal of fun reaching 50 on hardcore (hint: 3 mages/1 cleric works very well after the first several levels - its tough at first).
A solid 5/5. Ignore the ignorance in some of the other comments; if this game is a "rip-off" so are the majority of first-person shooters and RPGs. This is a basic dungeon crawl, and they all look about the same. But your combination of music, sound, weaponry, and storyline are - by flash game standards at least - all very well done. Thank you for a fine time and my first impossible badge!

So I went and looked up FASTCRAWL after reading Remvaras comment. I am sad to report that he is absolutely right. This game is almost an identical copy of Fast Crawl. This isn't "IN THE STYLE OF" , this is almost identical in every way, except Fast Crawl looks slightly better graphically. I hate to put this out there, as this is a great game, but after a little investigation its easy enough to find out that Well Done or not, this game is a blatant rip off of someone elses work.
Okay, it's not an Exact copy, but it is so damned similar

My rating has dropped considerably.

Uh... Blazinice... You're wrong on both accounts, physical means non-magical and there is such a thing as a rune, or a symbol of great magical power, so a runed item is engraved with great power, a ruined item just means it's broken.

Damage Reflected is nerfed... You should make the party member copies of the souls not copy damage reflection. I had tons of reflection on every character and my chars got killed each time they hit one of the copies. To win i had to take off most my armor before the battle with the corruptor which is just retarded cause i was getting tons of damage.

Ripoff? And here I thought it was done 'in the style of' such as - in the style of Black Steel (back in the apple II e days) and (the original) Bard's Tale II (THAT was a dungeon crawl) or even EVERY SINGLE module in the AD&D RPG system. Perhaps that was his inspiration instead of the one game you've seen that's similar? C'mon now.

This game is an embarrassing ripoff of a game called Fast Crawl.
Sure it's well done, but come up with your own shit next time.

Want to see more games like this one. Love it! Its a simple but fun, with classic RPG battle style!
But the drops from the last boss just sux! =D
Oh, btw, don't put just one mob in the final fight with the last boss. I've just stunned him to death. Too easy.

The game hasn't been updated for several days, and that wouldn't happen as the result of an update anyway. Flash games download and run on your machine, any changes are not reflected in your game unless/until you refresh the page.

Complaint - rewriting the game *while I'm playing it* is a bad idea - I come back from a save and suddenly my cleric is dead and the game locks when the monster tries to take a turn.
