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 pretty decent dungeon romp. Might not have the greatest replayability once beaten as from my current attempts on Rogue it seems each playthrough will be nearly the same. The pit traps affect the baddies as well as the player. Always nice when such is the case in this kind of game as it does allow for more tactics. I do wish some of the other traps worked on the baddies as well, but the pit traps were very useful. Especially in Rogue mode to avoid Morph fights.Overall, one of the few to make it out of Early Access and be a good game. Does what it says on the label and has been enjoyable.A lot of reading if you want to get into the backstory (not really necessary).I appreciate that the developer put the effort into detailing theories on magic and the planes of existence and how it relates to the game universe.. 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.. Not bad for an adventure game like old times. 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.. I know it looks like a cool game from trailers or lets plays and the concept itself is great and that's what sold me but...it really isn't that great. It is pretty linear despite almost always having 3 tunnels to go through they all feel the same and you end up in the same point anyways. The tunnels themselves feel boring uninspired and lacklustre. Nothing interesting to see inside. Grimrock was much more fun in that case. Rooms are blend and boring too. Game stutters in close combat as if you are playing an MMO with high latency. Therefore, I had to max out will power so I could play the game using ranged spells. However, when I talk about spells I really just mean 1 spell that is called fireball as wind and earth balls are completely useless (they consume twice the amount of mana but the damage increment is so low you'd rather stick to fireball and then you will actually deal more damage using the same amount of mana)There are plenty of items but most of them are useless. Old gear? Junk? tools? all these are items to be thrown away so dont bother picking them up and save space for food, ore, coin type items and potions. As for the game length, devs say it should last 10-12 hours. Well I sprinted everywhere while throughly exploring every lucklustre location in the game going back and forth through every tunnel (I explored all ways available to get from point a to point b) and it only took me 6 hours. I didnt rush too. I took my time. So I'm guessing that devs meant that if you only walk really slow-like. Like a snail. But there is enough food to run. So why bother not spriting in empty corridors? If I were to rush through only 1 tunnel (not exploring all others) it would prolly take me 3 hours to beat. Don't expect this game to be anywhere close to Grimrock. It is a pretty straightforward and clunky game. I wish devs all the best in making their next installment a much better game, this game has promise but it just doesn't deliver. It looks like it still should be in Early Access. Maybe next time?
