I randomly got ahold of this retro-inspired dungeon crawler and quickly got a bit addicted to it. Taking place largely in one giant labyrinth of a dungeon with differently-themed floors, it is a pretty fascinating thing to chip away at so far (I'm like...

With a cautious playstyle, it is definitely manageable, and I am finding the feeling of slowly building my party and conquering the unknown really satisfying. It's a good balance where I can appreciate what the really old games like Wizardry might have felt like, without actually having to go THAT far back.
