I love the game.
I didn't read any instructions!
I often hear people say (on podcasts) that a game would have blown my mind back in the day, but I think this would have!
I've been playing for nearly four hours without a bug AFAIK.
I would like RETURN to confirm a selection, like Y but maybe that is just me.
I have two days left to restore my honor and I'm not going to make it
but I have visited each dungeon, just to see how badly I would do - very badly! I haven't beaten a Trent or a Blob yet, let alone monsters from the later dungeons.
Is the Trent a non copyright infringing Treant
I was expecting "reanimate" to restore my health, even if I was killed that round, not just be a slightly better stabilize.
It seemed a little unfair that stabilize reduced my health (and reanimate ?).
I'm not sure if I have just experienced a bug:
I got a Vampiric Dagger and seemed to have a permanent -1 shield bonus, but after dying, I no longer have the -1 shield.
I may have been attacked at the beginning of a fight and acquired the -1 shield, I don't remember.
... I've just got to the Earth Lord and have -1 shield again, so I guess it is the enemy applying it.
I was also expecting the Vampiric Dagger to do the damage listed and then suck another point, but I don't think it does, it just heals you - not that this isn't powerful enough
I swapped my hobnail boots for Elven ones and didn't realise that I now have hardly any normal attack cards - oops!
Maybe someone will write a desk listing program that can work on a save game, like Exile - not that I have tried saving yet.
Oh, I just remembered, the bear looks a little like a badger, I think it is the bright stripe on the top of the head.
I love all the art work as well as the way it gets scaled just before a battle.
I think that it is a beautifully balanced game and I think my lack of progress was caused by me being overly cautious as well as trying to clear each dungeon before moving on to the next.
I still keep missing the ignores armour icon and I don't think that I have lost a battle that I didn't make a mistake in after about the first 30 minutes.
... and finally, I defeated the Earth Lord, but as it was my last day, I failed
Days: 35, Gold collected: 2596, Enemies killed: 1179 Attrs improved: 7 (Str, Str, Str, Vit, Dex, Dex, Acu+ I think).
This is going on my phone with beebx for when we can go out again.
Thanks for a great game.
One more thing, would it be possible to colour object in your choice of plunder based on whether you already have them.
PS I'm still listening to the music, it is doing a great job of driving my Rally-X music out of my head
