This game is great fun if you like roguelikes, I've put in over 80 hours and only beat it once. I highly recommend pyro builds.

This is the first game I ever bought on Steam. Haven't played it more than an hour though (although that is the case with most games I get today :<).

My memory of this game, I died on level 9 when walking up from level 10. I was surrounded by enemies so couldn't walk back down again (there was a bugged enemy on the stairs); and the only reason I walked up anyway is because I got in a rhythm of going up and down every staircase to mitigate the time lost playing from game crashes (it triggers an autosave). And the only reason I didn't clear that room originally was because every time I entered it the game crashed! Needless to say I uninstalled it right afterwards.

So I guess my question is, is the game still a buggy mess, or not?

On my longest run to floor 13, the game crashed only once. So yes, much less buggy.

Fun game. Like most other rogue-like games I tend to get bored once I beat it, but looking at steam that was still good for 23 hours. Not bad for the price, especially if you like that type of game. And with the steam workshop up for the game now, modding may or may not become a good source of content.

Other people been mentioning the binding of isaac. I feel like Isaac has more longevity, and is more entertaining to play and to replay. Only game I've played more than it is Skyrim lol, which says a little something about it.

Hehe we have completely different builds Ghin. I would recommend: Staves, Dual Wield, Golemancy, Magic Training, Blood Mage, Perception and Burglary.

I found Blood Mage's potion creating skill to be quite broken and the tank you can create with golemancy make surviving a lot easier.

I think I enjoy Dredmor more than nethack, stonesoup, angband, etc, simply because I can't stand their graphics and I like how easy/simple Dredmor is. Those games have a more epic scale than Dredmor. And yes, much less clunky/buggy now.

I have beaten this game many times. Pyromancy dragon into fireball is the key. Makes a normally insane game mostly trivial.

Hint: Farm monster zoos.

As someone who has played other roguelikes alot I've found this game rather boring. The main reason was enemies, you keep seeing same guys all the time, except in different color and damage types.

Question is why one would buy this when most roguelikes are free, and some of them, like dungeon crawl stone soup, is amazing.

Fun game, bought it a few weeks ago on sale, but haven't played much because I got distracted by other games/studying. It certainly is a good game with a lot of humour in it, if that's your cup of tea. Also I don't think it is that hard, I played with permadeath only and my 3th character is at the 5th floor I think without any big problems on the way. The build I like to use is centred around raw power, not sure if that is useful for the later floors. I'll definitely continue and finish it some day :p.

It's an easy game to get in to as it has pretty art and a simple ui. I view it as you're paying for increased production values, stuff like sprites, sound effects, fun item descriptions. The actual gameplay has some depth which is nice, though most of the new skills you get through mods are entirely broken. Veganism is a strong addition to the game but makes actual gameplay much more boring though :/

It's also more arcade-y than traditional roguelikes and you can move through stuff quicker.

My only problem with the game is how random the melee combat can be and how it compares to your life total (especially if you aren't wearing really heavy armor). My best character died by taking 400% monster damage in a single round of combat plus missing out on a large amount of life leech to regain hp. I attacked, was counter-attacked for a critical hit then attacked for a critical hit.
