I know it's a bit late, but finally got around to play this game again as I did been checking it out in previous DDs. Played 20.1 version and my playthroughs were mostly focused on a spellcaster build.

Game looks great as ever, and the enemy variety is great. I only noticed a couple of issues:

- Loading a manual save after dying seems to be constantly put me in a black void, always had to go to the main menu and load from there.

- Sometimes my attacks went through enemies, and I don't mean the missing because of attack rating kind, but the projectile goes through the enemy like there's no collision kind. Mainly happened with the skeleton mages who cast ice spike, but can't say if it's intended or a bug.

- Sometimes projectiles reflected by the enemy's shield slow down and just hover in place for a while before disappearing.

- Enemy attacks seem weird and random. Sometimes enemies swing as soon as they get close, sometimes they just stand there for a bit. Pokan herself bugged out of me and just stood still after going up to my face, letting me wail on her until she died.

- I went to Pokan's place, then back to Breeding Grounds 2 for some cleanup, and after that every time I went back to Pokan's area the game kept saying I was entering Breeding Grounds 2.

Apart from issues, my feelings about the balance and general gameplay:

- Potions that deplete your mana are bad, awful, terrible and worse than useless since I actually have to keep in mind which potions to avoid instead of being able to pick up everything. If they do have to be in the game it'd be better if their name reflect that they are tainted or something similar so that it's clear from a glance that they're a downgrade from regular potions instead of being called something like "wondrous" (though I have to admit, I genuinely forgot what they are actually called since I avoided them like a plague from moment one).

- Enemies that are faster than you are generally a pain to fight. I didn't find a good way to kite them - spells that slow down enemies (like the ice spell or the area one) don't last long enough, as by the time I made some distance and turned back around to attack them they were already over and the enemies ran up to my face a moment later. This combined with the fact that enemies in general are very happy to cancel their attack animation to chase you (which yourself can't do) made them kind of a resource sink, which can suck if the game decides that you're not going to find any potions for the rest of the area.

- Speaking of resources and potions, mana in general is very inconsistent. Sometimes I had no problem keeping myself topped off, other times I had to go through almost all of the level with no mana because I couldn't find any potions. Items that steal/replenish it can help IF you can find any, though ones that give a flat recovery begin to fall off in usefulness eventually. This is genuinely a shame because the spells are realy nice and fun to use with a lot of variety, but it feels like the game doesn't want me to use them and I'm left at the RNG's mercy whether I can or not.

- And speaking of spells, currently Intelligence feels like a noob trap and pretty much not worth putting any points into. I only put two so that I can learn the first level of fireball (so that I can cast it even if I switch off of my starting wand), but even that ended up as a waste as Int received from gear workts just as fine. Leveling up spells does not seem to worth it either - you get twice as damage for twice as much mana cost. Considering that you have to spend precious points to be even able to do that, you could put those points into Mind instead: not only it increases your base attack damage (for times when you're out of mana and can't even use any spells, see previous point) since it increases your maximum MP you'll be able to do more damage before you're depleted as you'll be able to cast spells more times. Hell, I'd argue that lower level spells are actually better than higher level spells: since casting is relatively fast, your damage output is basically the same whether you cast one lvl2 or two lvl1 spells, but you can split two spells for two targets and won't waste MP on any overkill damage. In case your attack misses (because you screwed up or the enemy moved away) you also waste less MP, and as most of the mana recovery is a flat amount you'll be able to cast lower level spells more frequently too because of their lower MP requirement. As for it's effect on the quickslot wheel, I had no problem just opening the spellbook mid-fight with M and changing my active spell there.

- The way there is no HP bar and enemies indicate visually of how hurt they are is a cool idea and I like it, and generally works for the most part, but not for bosses I feel like. It's not gradual enough for them considering how tanky they are and a lot of times I had no idea how well I'm doing against them, and was praying they'd die before I do. Bosses in general are not really standing out from the other enemies - most of the time I only realized I'm fighting one because they didn't die as fast as their crowd or because suddenly I'm receiving three times as much health from their attacks that I would do from a regular enemy.

- Leveling up slows down a lot as you get more levels, which I wouldn't normally mention but I kept having the feeling that the areas level up faster than I do even with clearing out the whole place to get all the XP I possibly can.

All of the complaining aside, even with it's frustrations the game is still quite fun. And last but not least, here's my endgame stats (I did encounter Vedomot in an earlier run but alas that one had to be abandoned due to bad stat distribution):

I finally got to playing this.

Observations:

* Gameplay is fun, I could burn my eyelids to this 

* Visuals are great, light and shadows in particular, really well done. I dig the UI too.

* It kinda make my GPU run at full when other bigger games don't, perhaps there is some optimization to be done on how it loads stuff?

Possible improvements:

* Most enemies don't give any sign of being struck (except for becoming bathed in blood), ranged special animations seem to go through even if they hit sometimes so it would be cool to give some visual input on this.

* Drop rates seem somewhat low (and this is a problem given the game has no vendors)

* Named or bosses could use an hp bar

* MORE BREAKABLE STUFF PLEASE

will be streaming ( and attempting to beat ) on weds may 17.

/obligatory comment to get me off the wall of shame

I recorded playing games with commentary, and your game is one of them.

Here's the link to the whole DD50 folder:

Melee too OP

Little late I know, but I gave it a go, took some notes.

Lower Dungeons

I like the new starting weapon selection

Ranged still feels way stronger than melee, but I'll try going for melee.

I can't help but notice that my sword looks different on my back than it does in my hand.

Found a two handed axe already, guess I'll try two-handing.

Thought: Two-handed weapons should get a bigger bonus to damage from your strength than one-handed weapons.

Axe isn't great. The slow attack speed means it's just worse than the sword, which might hit enemies and keep them from hitting you back.

But killing the cult apprentices in one hit and the big mauler dudes in two is pretty satisfying.

I miss being able to hit while standing still with the axe by holding shift. 

It LOOKS like it should work fine, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to hit anything by clicking into the air, and he usually refuses to attack if I click an enemy.

Forgotten Passageway

Managed to take out the chaos warrior quite handily with a club, a shield, and 4 healing potions.

Lower Dungeons 2

It's nice to be able to switch quickly to my melee weapon for when there's a single invisible fucker.

But the burning floating skull fireball hell remains a job for the bow, and if there's more than one melee enemy, I'm gonna take a lot of damage fighting them in melee, so kiting it is.

It's kinda annoying how the skulls can hide behind walls and pop you. I really wish enemies would get an outline when behind a wall or something. You already have an outline for when you hover the mouse over them that ignores walls. Please, man, I just wanna see the things my dude should have in plain view.

From a melee perspective, the width of the doors becomes a huge issue. Like, back in Diablo 1, you had one-character wide doors, so you could use them as choke points to avoid getting surrounded. It was an absolutely vital tactic. Here in the tower though, there's always plenty of room for enemies to flank you and you don't have any AoE attacks or crowd control to deal with them. I'm not saying every door should be a choke point, but they're sorely missed.

Bloodlust affects all damage output? Considering the theme, shouldn't it only affect melee? I'm not complaining, mind.

I found Vedomot. Since she's a horrible demon, I of course try to kill her through the bars, but she ignores the arrows.

If you want her to not be killable, you should put a force field around her in a summoning circle or something, or have her talk from behind a wall where the player can't see her.

The way the ranged enemies just hang back and don't chase you is another problem for melee.

Like if you could lure them closer, that'd be one thing, but when a bunch of them spawn and can pepper you with attacks from every direction as you come at them, it seems impossible.

Anyway, by losing a few HP permanently with the cauldron spell and using my bow , I managed to reach the stairs up.

But I'm gonna go see how Vedomot betrays me first.

Aaand I'm dead. Kiting enemies that are faster than you doesn't work so well. It's nice that she's got a speed advantage on you though, means ranged can't get so complacent.

Might try another run later with a wand since I didn't get to see much of the new stuff and I'm told they're the new hotness.

You already know this, but melee, and especially two-handed melee, really seems to need a buff. The damage output is about the same once you account for melee having to walk up to the enemy first, and even if it were much better, it'd be hard to outweigh the ~20x damage you take from fights from being in melee and needing to level an additional stat. They need knockback, or a low-level stunning weapon art, or much better hit rate, or guaranteed interrupts, or hitting multiple enemies, or something to make them viable. I also think making two-handed weapons so slow compared to one-handed is overkill - you're already giving up on a defensive bonus from a shield or a stat bonus from an effigy, so it's fine if they're just plain better than every other option when it comes to actually killing things.

I think making ranged weapons slower and harder hitting would be a good idea. Not only does it seem silly that you can nock an arrow, draw your bow, aim and loose in the same amount of time that it takes you to whack someone with your sword, it'd be a good balancing factor against kiting all the time. Mayybe lower base bow damage, but let it scale with strength, to differentiate them from crossbows in a way that isn't attack speed?

Maybe you can make it so ranged enemies don't attack you through other enemies? Right now the impenetrable volleys of fireballs are a little frequent.

I think this a competently put together Diablo clone. It's fair moody, the combat is OK, it still needs some work. Enemies are a bit spongy. The first floor has some tough enemies considering it's the first level. I would like some more loot as well. I found it kinda hard to see too, walls kept getting in the way of me seeing some enemies and the lack of contrast in the some places didn't help either. A minor thing, but I found it hard to read the introduction menu text, it's very small.

Keep working at it!

Trying the regular Version first, if it crashes, I'll switch to low-end. My PC must be too bad then. Began at slightly after 8.00.

I like the new Weapon select Screen instead of Floorstuff. Very neat. Wand and Sword for now, I'll go bow later, I wanna try that fire Crossbow. Also no Despair (yet).

Why is Weaponswapping bound to ö? Thats 3 Keys left of Enter and horrid to reach when one Hand is on the Mouse. It seems to me that initially when unlocking new spellwheel slots my Spellwheel cleared itself, no Idea if that just happened occassionally or all the Time tho, or if it was something else. The Spell I got was through my Wand, so maybe that has to do with it. Also it still says every level increases Slots, but you don't gain a slot per point of Int.

Savegame Button stopped working once I entered Floor 2. Couldn't open the Savescreen anymore.

I really like the new Inventory Graphics backdrops and Stuff.

A special Enemy in the Bossfloor, really?

Its still great that Potions come out of Bookstands. On the same Node, most Books I get are shocking Discharge, is there some issue with random algorithm or is this intended?

After alt-tabbing savescreen worked again and was open for some Reason, tried to enter a name, defaulted to autosave, didn't let me save because that one was already in use, tried a different slot and name, opened Stuckscreen, so apparently I was not in menu-controls I guess? Now it doesn't work again. Great Savesystem, huge improvement from last Time.

Nice Cultist Lore. But why does she have a Hitbox blocking my Projectiles when dead?

Went through a Door, got Stuck. Couldn't move into the Room further, couldn't move back out through the Door, only left and right a tiny bit.

At least Autosave/Load seems to work somewhat I guess. Time to redo a bunch of Stuff. Ran into the same Room, same Issue. Guess everything beyond that Point is off-limits to me.

Killed Vedomot, should've seen it coming, I'm stupid. Found a few more Areas I couldn't walk through on the Way, is your Navmesh not generating Properly? Weapon seems Amazing, shame I can't use it, since I can't move past that Door to continue climbing the Tower. Guess this Run ends here. Hopefully the next one will be better.

This Time focusing on Hitchance early on, since I'm hoping the Weapon will be the same, and if it isn't I still have a Stat useful for any build. Run ended right on Floor 1 this Time, same Navigation(?) Issue. 

Going to retry the low-end Version, maybe that one actually works. Found Grimspike and bloodlust immediately, got excited, died. Realized my old saves carry over, got curious, and turns out, Nav issues are not a Thing apparently in the low-end version, so that worked out and I can continue my first Run. Great? Could confirm that Weapon stays the same tho, so I'm definetly trying a Run with that Monstrosity. Couldn't resist, tried it real quick, 100% going to run with this after this wand one. 

Assuming the Frostpriests are also resistent to magic, this run failed because of the Focus on Wands. Thats fine.

That it crashed my GPU again after starting the next run isn't, but again, thats my trash PC. 

This Time Floor 1 is littered with Golems, and I found a no return Stairs, are both of these intended? Also couldn't interact with the Stairs. And no Well. So my 1 Potion isn't going to get me Far. Tons of Golems in melee focused on early Levels really is tough.

Could place a Manapotion on the 2 right Tiles of a Book, and afterwards when picking up a Healthpotion from my Inventory that one disappeared. Happened only once tho.

Killed Shadowstep from the Sewers before the Boss, now I'm locked into walking slowly. Without Potions and slowwalk, died to Boss. Time for another Run.

This Time I can get into the save menu, select and rename a File, but not confirm the saving. Either overwriting or regular saving.

When I switch from wand to sword and back does it reset my spell wheel and selected spell? Also when I die it reset. Also when I switch between loadouts I and II it resets.

Why can't I use the same shield in two loadouts with different weapons?

I'm confused by how to cast spells. Edit: oh ok it's right click.

I was watching a streamer play and he was kiting enemies. Am I supposed to do that? I don't know how to run away and attack at the same time.

I would like to be able to stack or reorder the potions on my quickbar.

I picked up a spellbook I didn't have the stats to learn. I right clicked it anyways just to see what would happen, and my character dropped it. But I had 'right click equips' set so I don't think he should have dropped it.

Overall I suck at this! I only made it to the boss once and just died a bunch. Am I not understanding something? The game does look very good and feels polished.

Played a run. Video:

Despite the video being choppy, I didn't notice any choppiness while playing. The last update really made a huge difference!

I had difficulties with the controls. I wanted to find the key to quickswitch between both weapons, but I didn't find it. I changed one of the binds that looked like it would work, but nothing seemed to happen. Switching between the loadouts removed my spell from the right click. Not having the martial arts on the screen and having to memorize them is difficult.

I found a nice axe, but it made me took too much damage so I had to switch back to my default setup.

I played mostly by kiting, like last time. Maybe the martial arts help for melee builds, but that should be introduced in some way because I cannot mindlessly spam left click like in other diablo-likes. It looks more involved. Ranged attack on the other hand are intuitive and super safe. How does a melee build work?

Maybe I missed something, but is there an use for trash loot? Is there a place to sell it or convert it into something useful? Part of the fun in diablo-like games is being able to hoard items to sell for pennies.

If you left click a monster while holding shift and using a melee weapon, the character wont attack. Maybe because I was clicking on an enemy out of range?

That last monster healed himself. I wasn't able to tell until I realized he stopped doing the ability if I missed an attack. And also drained my mana, which sucks badly. The fountain did give me an ability to heal mana but I discovered it by pure chance and even then the knight used his mana burn as soon as I had mana. I wasn't able to click fast enough in the mana heal, then switch to damage spell, then spam the spell and repeat all while healing myself. This feels like a puzzle enemy, there is nothing wrong with them as long as the player knows they are facing a puzzle. Otherwise it feels like a hopeless situation.

I will try another run later this week because this one was too short. The game has a playable framerate (like 300% increase!) which makes playing it much easier.

There are some quality of life features from Diablo it certainly wouldn't hurt to copy. The obvious stuff like "clickable weapon text boxes when you hold alt" and "enemy health bars", but also some things like 'when the inventory or stat screens are open, shift the camera so the player is focused in the middle of the remaining side of the screen'. That helps gameplay be less obstructed even with a menu open. An often rather tricky thing to do without some exploits / glitches is to make sure equipping/unequipping items with +stats like +hp preserves your % HP instead of absolute value, so putting on a +2 max hp item makes me go from 60/60 -> 62/62, instead of 60/62. Of course, lots of ways to screw up the coding on that. Could use something on the control setter to warn/stop you if you map multiple functions to the same hotkey.

Also another very important one I noticed- left click lock-on! When you click on an enemy in a diablo game, it will act as if you continue to hold that click aimed on that enemy, even if the enemy moves. For ranged attacks you'll stand and keep shooting at it no matter where it moves, for melee attacks you'll follow it if it gets out of range. That becomes very noticeable and necessary when you have enemies that are moving around erratically instead of attacking, like the goat cultists

Overall looks great! didn't notice too many bugs. When I died and restarted my minimap wouldn't show

I can only get to level 5 before inevitably getting filtered. Trying to go back from there transports me to the wrong staircase (it will place you next to staircase on level 4 going down to even lower level).

Loading times can be quite long. Correction, it's probably softlocked on "Returning to Lower Dungeons 2" while trying to go back from higher level.

Loading can be quite weird. After dying I picked Try Again and it started all over in another level, so I loaded from autosave and it teleported me to a different coordinate of that level.

I think I'm starting to understand the game more. Instead of comparing it to Diablo 2 it probably resembles Diablo 1 quite closely (which I never played), and suddenly everything clicks. Because of that mindset a lot about the game feels underwhelming, like loot, skills and movement speed. 

In such a dark game it would be nice to see a hub area to lay back and resupply.

This time I played it melee only, no spells at all or ranged weapons (bouncing back projectiles still counts as melee...right?). This is the only run I've played on this version so when I talk  about a lot of balancing things it'll be compared to when I played bows and spells last version. Played surprisingly well with a trackpad. So besides the bugs I showed before:

• I encountered the increased attack speed bug a third time, this time I hadn't reloaded or died in probably over an hour. So maybe its not related to reloading, but I still think its multistrike related.
• Thought block was pretty bad at first and should maybe be changed to something more passive. But as I played more I think its fine actually, extremely useful vs bosses and single enemies but vs multiple its better to just keep swinging. Wish you could always interrupt any action (like mid swing) with a block though. Some enemies could have longer windup animations I think, like the big gray guys with clubs. Felt like their damage comes later than when the swing connects too?
• Not sure if I was just hallucinating it but sometimes it felt like you got damaged out of nowhere, like walking close to the cultists (witches? the early women enemies... I did play on a small laptop screen though, maybe I missed something. "Think" I got damaged by fireballs even though I reflected them.
• Maybe change the color of the water in the fountains to a lighter blue. I'm probably damaged from Diablo but right now it looks like a mana pool to me.
• When you have an item that gives you stats to allow you to wear another item and you take it off it gets thrown on the ground even though you have space for it in the inventory. Would be nice if it was put into the inventory instead, or turn "red" and inactive and you'd have to unequip it yourself.
• Enemies can hit you slightly around corners, even if you can't see them.
• Is there a sound for opening a trapped chest? If there is, it might be too similar to the regular one.
• Can't pick up potions from the ground to the cursor when the inventory is full.
• Magic items feel a bit weak overall and not that different from regular items. Mostly in the early, mid game. Maybe decreased stat range for items? An example, the masterwork armor with increased defense has less def than another without it.

• The resistance modifiers seem really low, like getting an item with %3 lightning res. (are there lightning enemies early game?) isn't very fun. Don't think the game would go on for so long that stacking resistances would be a problem?
• I want more modifiers! :) Mana leech is very strong but it might be too common? Maybe having it drop on melee weapons be a higher chance than others would be a nice balance thing.
• New enemies are great.
• Death animations on enemies are great, although the snake ladies could be gorier. I wish enemies had much more pronounced flinch animations though, I want arms flailing, heads snapping, blood flying on every hit!
• Charge attack sound for the snakes is weird, placeholder? Charge seemed very weak though.
• Items on the ground disappear when loading from the main menu. Corpses too, but maybe that doesn't matter much.
• I didn't get a single amulet the whole game, :(
• Strength as a stat seems a bit too weak, only gives you increased damage every 5 points compared to 2 for other stats is a huge difference. Doesn't seem like a lot of items require much strength either. Intelligence seems like by far a better stat, gives you some benefit every stat and also every 5, makes you able to read more books, many (for me it seemed like most, had the same bracers forever because I couldn't find any without int req, but maybe I was just unlucky) armor pieces and even melee weapons and shields require intelligence.
• Two handed weapons don't seem worth it at all, I wanted to use them but they all looked so much worse than going one handed and shield I didn't. Not really higher damage than one handed and much slower, you get less stats too, less weapon arts.
• Playing melee only was much, much harder than going ranged. Maybe you don't really intend people to play like that, but still. Last DD I played I don't think I died once with bow and spells, this time I did many times. Probably why I encountered all the save and load bugs heh. All in all the early game feels way too hard melee, most of the times I was at 0-1 health potions and had to play extremely carefully luring out single enemies and try to kite them (often you can get a free hit in and run away when they run up on you without attacking). Some times I pretty much had to try the same fights several times til I got a health drop from an enemy. I think the big problem is that you can't really avoid having your health drain when fighting melee, even with using block which won't really work when fighting multiple enemies and often you'd be better just punching them. In Diablo 1 you'd abuse doorways a lot to only fight a single enemy at a time but you can't really do that here (I'm not saying you should be able to just that it made melee easier there). I think around the burrows or so the difficulty playing melee starts to get a lot better, the golden goblins seem vital to that playstyle though so you can get good weapons. I used them both for new weapons and used them all the time. I don't think I died after getting to skeleton town, around the burial grounds I was swimming in potions and had my entire inventory filled with them. The drop rate for them felt too high around and after that. When I reached the very last area I was so strong I breezed through it. Fighting and bouncing back projectiles at the same time was really fun though, melee felt strong around mid to late game.
• Making melee better early game is hard without breaking the balance for other playstyles I think. One idea would be to have some more starting items to choose from, so if you want to go full melee from the start maybe you could pick between a shield as well. Maybe a piece of armor too? Increasing the drop rate of health potions early game could be a good idea overall, doubt it would hurt to have the early game be easier for all. Could make it harder as the game progresses.
• Some levelups felt really long, like 8->9. I carried around some items for ages until I could level up and use them.
• Not sure if you care about this part but not using the same seed for per character for rng makes it really susceptible to save scumming. I didn't do it this run (well except for when I died and had to reload) but if you really wanted to you could for example save before breaking every crate and reloading until you get a potion or when opening a a magic chest to get something you want, etc. But again I don't know if it actually matters.

I'm sure I had more to say but I forgot/didn't write it down. I had a great time playing though. I think the amount of playtime will be pretty good in the final version with the last areas. More monster variety would be great too of course but I get why its not that simple. Adding a hardcore option alongside the despair difficulty would be a fun "free" thing to add for us masochists too. Can't wait to see more great things from you. Ending stats:

I wont really be talking about everything here since I don't like repeating what other people said. Graphics and sound improved a lot and even the game balance seems more fair than in the previous version.

I played "ToK.20_windows", so there is a good chance you already changed or fixed most of the issue, but I'm going to post them anyway.

First suggestion. It would be nice if you setup some kind of online changelog. Even just for demo days, so people can see what bugs are already reported or fixed.

First is the broken wall bug. As you have said, this probably breaks your save since I couldn't load it after seeing that bug. Autosave for that same level worked fine however. This is a different spot than in the video, but it is the same wall orientation.

There is an ordinary room behind it. I uploaded the save here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1goKerQChz_W-upbV57p5LY3ihSu-eDM0/view?usp=shari...

As I said, it's broken and can't be loaded.

Another save problem, I loaded level 4 save and this happened:

Couldn't move or do anyhing. ALT+F4, loaded the save again and it worked.

Next list are either small anoyances or minor bugs.

Items can drop behind walls (By the way, the bugged wall is in the red circle since I forgot to put up the automap in the previous screenshot).

Doors are very anoying. It's nice that they open when you walk into them, but you can still close them, which got me hurt quite a lot of times when I wanted to walk and I closed them instead. I would suggest you either remove the ability to close them completely, since enemies can open them no problem, or you make enemies incapable of opening them and they would have to break them down first, so there would be actual purpose to closing them. As they are now, they just cause pain.

It would be nice if I could open the spell book by clicking on the spell slot next to the mana orb.

Clicking doesn't count as a "press any key" on the loading screen.

Can't drink potions from the inventory by right clicking them, even if I enable the "right click to equip" in the options menu. This got me killed in the prison encounter because I wanted to use potions straight from the inventory, but was dropping them instead.

Enemies pop in \ out of existence instantly when they enter \ leave your field of vision. Would be nice if you added some kind quick fade in \ out effect.

Adding impact \ miss sound effects for ranged weapons and probaly footsteps or more idle sounds for enemies.

That's pretty much all I noticed. I didn't play through the entire game this time, since I have to fix my roof, but It's safe thing to say that the game improved a lot since the last time I played. Keep it up.

Playing this right now. I'm hoping to actually finish all of your content this time, now that I finally have some time to relax.

The art is great, music is comfy and very fitting, animations are great. Enemies are very satisfying to kill. Difficulty feels just right - really hard (for me) but not unfair. Every encounter feels tense. It's nice.

I discovered magic entirely by accident. I picked the sword and staff as my starting weapons, but didn't realize the staff gave me access to a spell until I looked through the menus. Fireball is cool and satisfying to use. Haven't used any others yet.

The sound skellies make when you kill them is perfect. Hearing the crunch is like music to my ears. 

I moved onto floor 3 and alt tabbed to write this. When I tabbed back in, I think the game was still loading, because Towerguy wasn't anywhere on my screen and I couldn't move or open the map or anything. The usual loading screen wasn't visible. After a while the "Press any key to continue" screen popped up and everything started working again. 

The only nitpick I have (had?) was that the map didn't have an opacity slider, but you or somebody else informed me in the thread that +/- works for that. I'm still playing through it, so if I have any useful feedback I'll edit this post. It's genuinely really fun though, and it's hard to find any serious faults. I'd buy it.

Edit 1: Trying to reproduce and record the loading screen bug. Saves also weren't working, but I died and restarted and now saves and the loading screen(s) are both working again. I'm gonna keep trying to break it to see if I can get a recording though. Also, I used a potion during a loading screen while pressing every button on my keyboard to see what I could break.

Pretty cool! Reminds me a lot of the first Diablo game.

The game makes a great first impression, with it's animated loading screens and nice 3D models. Loved the atmosphere and the music.

Just one complaint: when you are asked with "pressing any key" if you press S or I the game will show the stats menu or the item menu right from the get go.

It's also quite hard, I died a lot, but I'm not too much into this kind of games so that might be on me.

it's gotta be said that this is probably not my kind of game, cos I found the combat to be a bit of a chore and comparing loot I didn't find terribly thrilling.

presentation is pretty good though, audio's very nice and it's got a cohesive if slightly low-quality and slimy art style, no complaints there.

the bloodstained knight or whatever, does it have a healing ability? I fought it with a bow for many many seconds, perhaps even minutes, and it didn't die. I died instead, of boredom and of suspecting that it was still at full health.

I ended up getting through the whole game on my second attempt though, up until the little AGDG password check thing. Took an hour and then some. spent the whole time somewhat convinced that I was playing the game wrong, since my method of defeating enemies was usually to kite them until they died, which is kind of long.

It was a while until I figured out how to use magic, and I still haven't figured out how to access this 'Spell Wheel' I've heard to much about.

The stairs at the start of the game go up, and yet it is implied you came down through them? Did protagonist start their adventure by going from the second floor of the ToK down to the first!?!?!? inexcusable plot hole, it should be a staircase going downward, or a great doorway or something.

I like lifesteal, and the fact that getting full health when levelling up is effectively lifesteal. also got some lifesteal items which may have elongated my survivability to levels far beyond what I'd earned
