The key is you have to play very smart, cautious, and deliberate, and you will make regular progress without any extreme frustration. The moment you get full of yourself and try to run through swords blazing however, and the game will make you pay.<br /><br />The great thing about the game, and the reason I love rougelikes as well (Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is awesome), is that there are real consequences to your actions. You can't just jump of a cliff for fun and then reload 10 seconds before and try something else. Playing with your life really on the line, without the crutch of todays homogenized grandma-can-beat-it reloading mentality, really adds to the tension and excitement in a way that you won't find in most games out today.<br /><br />Anyways, I obviously recommend it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568969530306720239.post-56061652929515561982009-10-30T17:27:36.484-05:002009-10-30T17:27:36.484-05:00@Anonymous #1: Yes.
