This was my first ever experience of a dungeon crawler and I was completely hooked and somehow managed to finish it.
I’ve always wondered what the closest modern successor to it might be. I just loved the first person feeling of solitude down there and the layers of dungeon getting more and more dangerous as you explored them. I also loved that there were factions that could be friendly in there and that you could trade with. Does anyone know what the nearest equivalent to this masterpiece might be?
I’ve watched a couple of reviews for this recently because a couple people I know just got it on recent sales. What I’ve seen is that it really does try to lean into the feeling of UU games… ie it’s not just a dungeon crawler, but has a fleshed out story and dynamic interactions.
Looks like the recent price discount just ended with the end of the Steam summer sale… but it also looks like it drops that low fairly frequently. Though it’s not like it’s super expensive to begin with heh.
