I aplogize if there's already a thread for this, but I've looked and haven't seen one. Anyway, this game is awesome and needs to be shared.
It's a rougelike dungeon crawler with multiple races and classes, it's fun, and best of all it's free!
This video explains it better than I can.

If you've ever played Dwarf Fortress, it might remind you of that. Because just like DF you die...and die...and die. And then die again. And when (if?) you finally win it's awesome. But I haven't won yet...that's just what I've heard.
Anyway, here's the site. Try it out.

Also, meat boy is an enemy. This makes the game even more awesome. You might also find some other indie game characters.

Or at least, I remember there was.
What that has to do with this, I dunno.
I just saw it mentioned a ton in that thread.
I think I have it somewhere, though I've only played it sparingly.
I shall endeavor to check this shit out.

My name is CG, and I approve this message.
Will try... eventually. I'm getting sucked back into 2 Worlds 2 and Nier just arrived from Gamefly.

I don't know how much DD has changed since I last played but I found wizard to be the easiest class to win with. With the fireball they have the best setup of the base classes to defeat over-level monsters which is the ket to DD. You are being an elf right?
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
Also, the dev is working on an iOS port.
Some of these bosses are just MADE for certain gods/classes, though. Taking on the goblin without the one that removes enemy resistances? Brr.

I was sick so I had nothing to do other than beat all 4 challenge dungeons with all 18 classes
My advice, take Elf as your race unless you have a really good reason not to (i.e. you're a Thief, Priest, Berserker, Warlord, or Monk)
If you're deft at settings things up for the level-up catapult multiple times then elf is probably more gooder. Assassin works pretty well with the Orc.
But for battles of attrition potions outperform stats the vast majority of the time.
I have thus far only unlocked the 6 races, the 12 normal classes and the transmuter. I have beaten the Crypt, Library and Snake Pit with at least one class each.
I am hating the crypt though, god damn it Assassin, why do you have to suck so much in the Crypt?
I'm yet to determine which is my favourite class. But I do know that I don't like the berserker.
Elf sorceror is loads of fun though as is halfling priest. It's a little hard getting one's head around the correct way to play the warlord, but it is pretty great when it clicks.
Warlord seems like the easiest class in my opinion. You can easily take on monsters that are twice your level. Make sure you have full mana, that you have the life saving glyph activated, and that you can kill the monster in three hits. Plus, you get a damage bonus at low health (which will be more than normal thanks to the glyph) and for drinking mana potions. The Warlord and Assassin are really good classes for figuring out how to work level up catapults and exp steamrolls.
Also, for new players: use the mouse, not arrow keys. When clicking on a monster it'll tell you whether you'll live, die, or win, and arrow keys are (in my experience) way too easy to accidentally run into a monster.

I hope to do this someday soon. As is, I seem to always run out of resources on the zombie boss after killing the wraith boss.

shit, i got stuff to do
who thought combining a RAPID DESKTOP GAMEZ with ROGUELIKES would be a good idea
I feel like a damned rat smacking a lever, not knowing when the next smack will inject the heroin right into my brain.
and i can't stop
I did dwarf assassin and found CYDSTEPP early on. I immediately converted any glyphs I found except for that and BURNDARAYZ. I also found the Pactmaker's altar relatively early on and bought the item which allows you to ignore manaburn (soul sphere, maybe?). First thing I did was Learning, then I increased my mana and saved the experience for a slingshot if I needed it.
The slight health boost early on made a difference and my main tactic was cydstepp regen find high level critter fireballx2, attack x 3 (first striking makes Cydstepp the total business - more than usual), that is, until I got enough mana to cast Cydstepp twice - then I had to calculate which was the better move 3 fireballs or an extra attack, until about level 8 I think the former was the better option.
I started taking down The Tormented One first and managed a levelup slingshot to cinch that deal. I think I started around level 6 on the The Tormented One.
Then I had enough in me, and the pact maker's piety and critters around to level slingshot maybe once or twice and still had all my potions for taking down Frank.
So, there was a lot of luck WRT good draws - Pactmaker nice and close and the two artifacts I bought were powerful factors in my success.

Just dominated the Snake Pit with the Thief and then scraped through with the monk.
Thief is seriously OP. Doubling the number of potions you have, multiplying the number of things on the ground. And then on top of that the First strike bonus. Sets up chains of Level up catapults and you can basically outlast anything with your potions.
This is an entertaining game. Way too easy to just start another playthrough and waste the entire day.

Yeah, the Thief is amazingly good. Human Monk is incredibly powerful too, especially if you can find some armor in one of the shops.
The more I played the more helpful I found Elf. Squeezing in an extra Fireball frequently lets me take out monster 2-3 levels higher than me for massive exp bonuses
I'd say that, out of all 72 challenge combinations, beating the Crypt with the Assassin was the hardest. If I remember correctly, I went Elf Assassin, found mana burn immunity in a shop, and murdered Wraiths many levels higher than me. This let me use the instant kill on lower level enemies to wear down the bosses (melee the zombie and fireball the wraith).
Having played all the races, I'd say my favorites are:
Halfling/Gnome Thief
Elf Assassin
Human Monk
Fixed for what happened to me.
I downloaded it at noon. I stopped playing to go to bed around 10ish.
Good luck. Don't forget that gold carries over between rounds.
If you're having trouble, you can always run the Factory to improve item quality from stores. It's actually really easy once you figure out how to kill a level 9 monster at level 1.
I suck with everything else.
Are you attacking monsters that are a higher level than you? You get massive exp bonuses that make up for not having the +1 exp per kill from the Fighter.
You must be pro. I can't kill level 2 monsters at level 1 most times.
I tried an elf/wizard run last night and didn't find fireball on the map -anywhere-. How do you play wizard without fireball??
PSN: Dyvion -- Eternal: Dyvion+9393 -- Genshin Impact: Dyvion
1) One of the monsters in the Factory is really easy to cheese with Fireball
2) Unless you're a Human Wizard or find Poison, you don't
Edit: While I recommend Elf Wizard, Human Wizard is surprisingly good. Due to the way human bonuses work (+10% damage) it neutralizes the Wizard penalty.
Elf Wizard = 75% starting + 30% from runes = 105% damage
Human Wizard = 75% starting + 30% from runes + 40% from 4 glyphs = 145% damage
Most Other classes = 100% starting + 30% from runes = 130% damage
Now beating every mode with every class? That'll take some time.

Yes, yes it will. Have you beaten Normal with the tier 3 classes so that you unlock their glyphs?
An hour and a half gone just like that.
I have yet to win, but I persevere!

He's trivial if you can get Poison either from a glyph or a shop.
Life steal from Dracul works well too, since his damage is fairly low.
Otherwise you'll need to setup enough lower level monsters that you can level up part way through the fight to get a second wind of health.
Yeah, you have to have beaten all of the tier 3 classes to unlock everything since otherwise you don't have access to the Factory.
Trying to unlock the Factory classes was giving me no end of trouble the other day, but today, I tried it again and I got Poison, Heal, and shop selling +20% Physical Resist armor. Much easier - used heal, poison, and potions to kill the Meat Man boss when I was at LV7 or so and then took out the other boss at LV9.
