    I got a promo code for this last night and I couldn't find enough hours to play it, it's really a love letter to retro RPGs of all varieties. It looks like a roguelike, fights like a traditional turn-based RPG and has some of the best features of puzzle RPGs.

    I have to agree that the backgrounds could use some some HD-ifying and some special effects would go down well but it's just cosmetic stuff. The most important groundwork of the game is there and really solid. The amount of characters and classes alone scream instabuy - I can't wait to finish it just so I can start again with a different combination!

    I knew I'd love this from my first look but it's always good to add a new dev to your watchlist :D

    (Apologies to the dev, I ended up having to go to hospital so missed posting/reviewing earlier.)

    The "deal" is that all of those games are using the same graphics set that you can get here:

    This is my first game and it was created from scratch. No scripting engine or addon libraries used. The game engine / code / interface design was all done in objective on Xcode. :)

    Yes I do use the oryx sprite pack as well as some other indie art and music resources. You can see them all in the credits. :)

    Thanks everyone for the great reviews this project has been my life for the past 7-8 months. It's been a long hard ride but I've enjoyed every second of it.

    I knew I wanted to make games since before I can remember. I just didn't realize it would ever be possible until I started reading these forums and seeing other indie dev stories come true here.

    Working on floor 13 halfway through farming up gold for a silver set of equipment and a set of guardian rings also halfway to lvl 20. Still enjoying the game greatly.

    Yea there was a lot of stuff along the way. I found different stuff down different paths as well. Poison equipment worked really well on the Druid so I focused on that.

    Game Impressions

    Longtime lurker
    - Tested this game thoroughly


    Probably played ~120 hours of game, though I won't pretend like there's that much game to play.

    I can field any questions as well, but my general impression of the game is a positive one. Feels very true to the JRPG genre, and has FF2 feel to it. The classes are nicely balanced, the difficulty progression is cleverly done with an emphasis on both the player's ability to balance their character's abilities and equipment.

    Genuinely very pleased with how the game turned out, and look forward to seeing this community enjoy it as well.

    I was playing dEXTRIS for the past 1/2 hour trying to break 100, failed, so now I am off to play this game, 2-bit cowboy, and Last Inua!

    Wish me luck!
