I only wish it had better armor and weapon upgrades. Making the torch mandatory gets frustrating sometimes. I would much rather have a shield in that hand. Maybe have a light spell or something to give lumens.. At first it seems like the game has potential. It doesn't. The combat is basically button mashing until the mob dies. There really doesn't seem to be any finese in melee. Mobs head straight at you so the ONE spell you get isn't hard to land. The traps are thoughtless. Some don't even give you a chance of noticing them. I am one of those players that searches every nook and cranny. This game seems to have ZERO reward for that. Just head for the exit while holding down run... After five and half hours I finally got my first equipment "upgrade"; an axe... It is worse than the sword you start with. Seriously, there is no gear to be had in this game! I find gold bars every now and again and I am still at a loss as to what good gold is for. I guess at certain parts of the game there are dudes that sell you *temporary damages buffs, but I haven't seen the point. There is tons of crap to pick up everywhere, but it is junk. Find a helmet? Don't get too excited, the game considers it junk in your inventory. Oh and then I guess if you take too long exploring in a DUNGEON CRAWLER, some super tough mob teleports in and it doesn't seem to be harmed with melee... Hopefully you didn't bother using spells... I can count on one hand the number of games I just quit before finishing no matter how bad they are, this is one of them.. I don't usually review games, but this game has recieved a few bad reviews lately. I can relate to them. But an hour will only get you so far in this game. There is a lot to explore. Which might I add is saying a lot for a game that was just released, and being developed by 3 people. For what it is I say it is worth the price.. Game is so annoying and boring in unbelievable levels! Endless flat\/cubic\/empty\/similar corridors without any plot or design. But worst part that gameplay is terrible unbalanced. Health potions are very rare, but monsters always will chase and hurt you. But if you will not die because of it - you surely will die because of starvation\/end of food. And you will die for sure - because as i said before - corridors are endless long and even without monsters you will spent all you stamina\/food for running through these eternal hallways in search for stupid keys. Very poor game in all acpects. Not recommend at all. Avoid!P.S. Game went in full release and new sshots are looks promising. But i am too lazy to check that out again... Cheats please:). A nostalgic trip back to the RPG days of yore. For $8 I was suprised with what I got but what you get is good if you enjoyed games like Kings Field.Combat is your choice of 3 weapons and spells (you find more along the way if you explore) with a thrust\/sweep\/overhead melee attack.Takes a few encounters to get a feel for how to engauge and dance around a foe but after that you will be a master at it.Lots of item drops to the point you will not know what to do with all your potions, gold, food and junk. finding the right balance to hold and drop gives a more realistic feel to the doungen dive though hope is had in future updates more trade features\/encounters will be added.A good way to spend an even enjoying a simple but fun and very nostalgic game.. A great game for nostalgia and worth getting if you enjoyed the old dungeon adventure experience.Castle Torgeath harkens back to the olden days of dungeon rpgs such as Shadow Tower with the attempt to recreate that experience for more recent times, something the game does very well for people who remember or liked those kinds of games. Combat is somewhat slow at first and takes a bit getting used to but then becomes modestly enjoyable for at least a short while after. The story that I uncovered so far was fairly interesting although I wish more than just the npc dialogue was voice-acted, however it doesn\u2019t really affect your ability to get into the game so long as you don\u2019t mind pausing and reading for a bit here and there. The little I\u2019ve seen of the rpg system is somewhat basic and bare-bones but it seems to get the job done if you really stack your points into one particular stat or another. The game does a good job of keeping you in suspense and forcing you to consider whether it\u2019s wise to engage a group of enemies for xp or not. I had my reservations for the strange monster types that seemed to randomly spawn after killing enemies sometimes, but the system ended up feeling exciting and interesting rather than frustrating so long as you kept your wits about you and roamed carefully most of the time. As it stands the game is fairly decent for what it is and is more than likely to satisfy that dungeon crawler itch if you\u2019re the kind of guy who is into dungeon-themed games. More than anything else it was the low price point of the game that made me feel like it was very good for what it was. So with all that said I can resoundingly say the game definitely gets a positive recommendation from me.tl;dr: Game is pretty decent for the price especially if you're really into dungeon games.. I think it would be a really good game for people(like me) who like the old style dungeon crawlers but in most games like this the main problem is bag space but besides food the pots are few and far between no drops from the mobs so if you vehad a little trouble early on and had to use your health pots your out of luck for awhile. it needs drops from the mobs,may-be a camp option to restore health, mana,etc maybe have some food heal heath other food heal mana. The main problems i have, is there are too many bars to fill and not enough stuff to fill them. in my opinion its a good game on the right track but with a few tweaks it could be Awesome, a game i could play for hours :).. First i want to say that this game is a really good Dungeon crawler game. It has alot of things that i really like. But one thing that i feel is missing is the option to look at a map. Since many areas are so so big, then there are alot of hallways that look almost the same, many places look the same too. And i feel like when playing i'm going in circles many times, or are total lost. And the worst thing is that if you can't find you're way then you run into the problem with food, the food system is alright but when you are lost and can't find the way it becomes a bigger problem.If you like a good dungeon crawler game, buy the game. But keep in mind you are proplerly gonna waste alot of hours finding you're way.
