Quick Look: Dungeons of Dredmor

DARN!

Not sure what to think of it. 

roguelike anyone?

Diggles! 

This is the best quick look ever!

Seriously? Looks shit.

This game is awesome. Many hours have been wasted.

Can't say no to a good roguelike.

Hello Dave.

Yup... because that's all that matters in a game. How it looks.

It's actually fantastic, brutal, unforgiving, a throwback and a great game.

He stomped like a fruit...

It would be nice to get, if my computer can play it.  
 
Also, I'm disappointed that the name of Ryan's guy wasn't Bharfalcon. 

is that title card ment to be a rip off of Duke nukem 3d?

Hmm, I like the mechanics. A game like this with a Bastion-like artstyle would be pretty amazing.

can not stand this art style FYI

Thanks GiantBomb! I had a nice little video to watch while I ate lunch.  Love the exposure to niche games.

I already got this game because i love roguelikes.

An Athlon 64/Core Duo and a gig of RAM. I'm guessing that if your computer can run the internet, you can run this game.

Fuck yeah, Dave.

Yep, its a really really addictive game with tons of replayability. I've already sunk 40 hours into it =P.

Hooray for Dave.

I like the rogue-like game style but have never been a fan of ASCII only graphics (so sue me!), so it's nice to see something with a visual overhaul. I'm not really too keen on the art style of the main character, though. He looks weirdly out-of place. I can't exactly put my finger on what it is about him.

Games I highly recommend checking out if you're at all interested in this game. Both of these are freeware.

Tales of Maj'Eyal

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Did Dave say Unix system? #jurassicparkreferenceyo

By the way: You can never turn off perma-death. All unticking that box does is allow you to reload a save if you die. If you don't save, your character is still gone forever.

I'm not talking about how it looks graphically, the gameplay looks boring to me as well. But hey, that's just me.

I think it can be said of a lot of extremely rewarding games that they look boring to play. Dismissing them out of hand is a good way to close yourself off from some of the best experiences in gaming.

A monster zoo seems like the worst kind of zoo.

A few interface tweaks would make this game even better, such as if tooltips showed item vs equipped item comparisons, like most modern loot games do.

But I really enjoy it anyway.

would this play alright on a laptop with an onboard intel chip and 4 gig of ram? processor is 2.1ghz

I like the music. Reminds me of iMuse stuff from the Monkey Island games.

Not for me no thanx....

Rogue-like games are fun, I personally like the chocobo dungeon wii game

So based on the extensiveness of the first patch I expect this will be one of those indie titles that receive excellent and ongoing support and modifications. Unfortunately this means it will be one of those indie titles that I never play as I continue wait for the 'ultimate' version to be done. :p

It looks horribly dull.

• Processor: Core 2 Duo/Athlon 64 or above recommended
• Memory: 1 GB of RAM minimum; 2 GB recommended

This video in particular won't load for me, for some reason... : / Will try again later, I guess...

stone soup is betar
 
ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE
 
Time is usually a limited resource in a roguelike. In Stone Soup, for example, it's metered through hunger... But you have an unlimited time horizon in Dredmor, making it softcore and for flaccid noobs only.

Monster Zoo! Deth and all 149 of his friends!

I do enjoy games where death (as in dying) has some real consequence rather than starting back at the last checkpoint.

It's not a reference. Rogue was made for Unix systems in the early 80s. Unix is a real thing.

SOLD!

The first time I've ever watched a quick look and immediately bought the game right afterwards.

This reminds me of my Nethack phase, years ago. I remember I fell into a hole or something, and dropped right in the middle of a giant room, full of ridiculously overpowered monsters.

I heard a lot of things that kinda pushed me away from this, but this QL actually make me go out to pick it up. $5 earned via a QL for these folks. I enjoy my rogue likes, I like this kinda Kingdom of Loathing-esque humour, and the skill trees seem really cool.

Music's great.

Dave yay. Indie PC game yay. Ryan booo.

Thank god Dave's around or we'd never see stuff like this. I had difficulty finding content on this game beyond Gaslamp's site and Let's Plays on YouTube.
