*AIR FIST PUNCH…thingy…*
uh…. PLEASE DON’T WATCH MORE THAN THE FIRST 15 OR SO SECONDS @@1
Moving on…
It’s been a long time since I played Desktop Dungeons or DoomRL but THEY ARE SOO ADDICTIVE.
Especially doom, once you have a grasp of the game, it’s so easy to just sink <20mins on a game.
Desktop Dungeons is a tiny roguelike that takes place on 1 screen and controls are entirely mouse based2. Gameplay is very similiar to regular roguelikes in that you move into enemies to kill them, though there is a very limited inventory system that works REALLY WELL. You have HP potions and MP potions that restore HP and MP respectively (scaled with your level). You can carry 3 “runes” which are basically your casting spells, these also increase in strenghth as you level up. If you dislike a particular skill, you can simply “eat” it and give your stats (Strength, evasion) a bonus. Bleh, I’ll link you over here before I do more harm than good.
DoomRL. Don’t let it’s discombobulating GUI discombobulate you. It’s controls are alot simplier than your average dwarf fortress3 with only movement keys, shoot and inventory/equiptment4. It may not seem like doom at first, but it really is just as addictive. Words don’t do this game enough justice5, give it half an hour before making any judgements and you’ll be surprised! I would write up a short story, but it’s been to long since I played, maybe next post =D
Speaking of which, I promise I’ll make a post tomorrow. I’ve just been busy catching up on work and dreading the 21st (which I won’t have to anymore!)
