Sidescrolling dungeon crawler with permanent death. It looks awful but it is surprisingly addictive. Picked it up at Desdura, first the demo but when I couldn't go on and I had to I just had to buy it for a lousy €4.

I play as a warrior. One with golden hair and walking rather queer. My warrior is a dual-wielding mother f**er and he only has to walk into an enemy to attack. Rather lazy way of fighting but it works. You exchange some hp with your enemy and eventually the enemy dies (at least until now).

The equipment you pick up doesn't have much stats although you can approve it with skills as you level up. This goes rather quickly in the beginning which makes it fun to continue. Enemies are varied standard fantasy stuff like goblins, rats, skeletons and gas blobs. When you kill an enemy they almost always drop something. This is often food which you need to eat regularly to stay fit. Healing can be done by resting. You won't be bothered with enemies, at least I haven't.

The stuff you collect wears you down after a while. You can't carry everything. Funny is that, instead of you going slower, the environment will go faster. This mechanism keeps the pace in the game, and accounts for some frenzy action when encountering an enemy. Dropping stuff before such a fight is recommended.

The fights are always turn-based. If you take a step toward the enemy, so does he towards you. This looks rather funny, another thing you don't expect but plays well.

The game also supports stores in which you can sell and buy stuff. The store I encountered didn't have much stuff available. Most of the stuff it had I just sold to the merchant.

The game is a game in which you can save your progress, but when you die the game ends. No loading a previous save game. This mechanism is not new, it is in fact hot these days, but works rather well. You run away when things get too hot and will not take unnecessary risks.

Concluding after an hour of play that I like this little game and going to play it at least a few times with different characters.
