I mean, I'm glad I got through the first 2 levels. As much as I love the Chip's Challenge esque look (tho it's ASCII apparently?!), the fast-paced controls and gameplay, and clever execution of an action-adventure RPG... it's just too brutal, too tacky of collision masks, too lopsided a dynamic for fights, and like all these early CRPGs, too tedious in the end. Still, undeniably well-done. I mean these are ASCII graphics?? No way

(If you decide to brave it, all the maps are fixed, tho items/enemies are randomized)
