Comment on Curing Ironshank in Caves of Qud made me feel like I'm playing NetHack CoQ’s
catfeeder@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago I’m okay with wiki games (I wouldn’t be a Dark Souls fan otherwise) but I’d prefer them to actually signal their nature to the player before they sunk 7 hours into a run.
I’m playing in roleplay mode so it’s not a big deal but I could be playing with permadeath and mechanics would still be as obscure. Death in roguelikes should be meaningful.
Right. I like playing all roguelites in permadeath and have the death be part of the lesson, but this game just felt frustrating. I realized very soon that you can barely play the game unless you research how a valid beginner strat is.
