I died a shitload of times, particularly on Ordrak, but I finally got around to it, a year or so after I initially purchased the game.  What I found interesting is that this latest playthrough rekindled my interest in the game, and I quickly followed up with a sub-5 hour run (on easy) just to compare.  I'm now planning on doing a slower, more meticulous run on normal and see if I can get down to the 100th floor of the dungeon.  I've got to hand it to the developers, they put out a terrific, inexpensive game that's got a ton of replay value.
