Hack, Slash, Loot new game
« on: January 24, 2012, 12:50:02 pm »

Very cool new indie game here.
It's a dungeon crawler with a new dungeon created every time you play.
I love the art style and the awesome gameplay.
Do yourself a favor and download the demo and start scraping up the measly 10 bux for the game.

Wasn't this like a beta a while ago or something because I've definitely played this before.

EDIT: Are these the same people who made realm of the mad god?

The graphics are from a free tileset, so a few games use them.

It's too hard to resist RotMG graphics. Downloading.

EDIT: Oh, it's not free. Nevermind...

Game is quality, no DRM nonsense, meaty demo, well worth the pre-order I made for it!

Also, since the art thing comes up constantly whenever something uses it, this should settle the matter:

yes, many of us have asked for a small balance tweak but the dev just tells us we need to learn how to play or play a different game

I have got to say that I am loving this...
Might shell out the cash for the full game. After a few hundred deaths and such I have only just noticed the "Sheath Weapon" button, meaning that I can now carrying a Melee with a Ranged weapon, (Learn by doing with these kinda games) and have unlocked the Amazon and Knight in the demo mode, I like how the Amazon starts with an Artifact weapon but is as weak as a twig, but the Knight is a nice thick tank...

I am currently running around the Tomb of the Young King mission having extra fun due to finding a Bright Mace which is a weapon that is VERY effective on the Skeles and also gives life and boosts to attack at random kills. Very handy, my knight hasn't gone under 30hp for a while now and skeles pop in one hit. 93/22 Melee too, so I am laughing. Have to go to work, so gonna lose all my progress now, so kinda disappoint there...

Wish this game was available for my Android, def use it there. Touchscreen would be a problem with it though...

My ONLY complaint is the Battle Log, if you are in a large room, it can cover over the Battle Log so sometimes you may not find out what that scroll just did cause you had to fight a goblin in the same room. Other then that loving it...

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

The game saves on exit. To continue your current quest use the button in the bottom right of the UI.

My ONLY complaint is the Battle Log, if you are in a large room, it can cover over the Battle Log so sometimes you may not find out what that scroll just did cause you had to fight a goblin in the same room. Other then that loving it...
That is a pain, but shrinking the large room with the magnifier can alleviate it somewhat.

Hey is you the Dev of HSL David??? IF SO... Introduce yourself Properly :P

Also, it was a Demo and not properly downloaded, open on download so as not to take up space. Consider yourself 10USD richer my friend... ^_^

Ready .... <(^_^<) ...  ^(^_^)^ ... (>^_^)> .... GO!!!

EDIT:: Good to see I could continue, anyway...

Found this thing called a Troll's Scabbard. Its all "Glowy" like. It seems to shift in colour, no doubt because it has this attribute for Regeneration. But I don't see any regeneration happening, how does it work??? NVM it looks like it needs to be around normal health for it to activate. Should work while walking too...

EDIT 2:: ARGH!!! I CALL BULLSHIT!!!, A Will'o'wisp appears on the forth level, its got HIGH HEALTH and Resistance to Divine weapons, both my Mace and Crossbow are Divine Weapons, it does 11+ dmg each hit, and I do 1 dmg to it. It also passes through walls!!!!
