I first learned about this game in the latest Indy-Games thread:
http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=42182&highlight=soulfu
But it is so awesome, I thought it needed it's own topic.
Secret of Ultimate Legendary Fantasy Unleashed. (Soulfu from now on, quite the mouthfull)
Check it out at http://www.aaronbishopgames.com/
Soulfu is a free, open source game unlike any other game other than roguelike games.
Stolen directly from the manual:
SoulFu allows up to four players to play simultaneously, and USB Joysticks are recommended. Before starting, you must setup controls for each player. You'll figure it out! There are some things worth mentioning, however...
1. This game is designed to be quick to play. There is no save, F9 pauses.
2. Characters will slowly starve.
3. Most levels are randomly generated.
4. Hold the inventory button down and press other buttons to do "stuff".
5. Light damage is easy to heal, heavy wounds are not.
6. Enchantments tap mana, making it unavailable for other uses.
7. The castle still needs some work. In the training room, jump on the post to hire helpers.
8. High-level characters must be virtuous.
If riding through a dungeon in a warthog while a friend uses the chaingun, running over all types of cute and un-cute cell shaded critters is your idea of a good time, then we can hang out sometime.
You control each arm of your character, and can use swords, bows, magic, and other goodies in each hand. You also have two special attack slots that can hold your character's special abilities.
The character classes are:
Soldier
Wizard
Healer
D'warf
G'nome
Hubbin
Mystic
Elf
If you are looking for a quick pick up and play game with beautiful graphics, try it out with some friends.
Check out the forums. http://www.soulfu.com/forums/index.php
Some fans have even created a save-game feature.
Net-play is coming very soon!
Check there as well for info on Mac and Linux builds.
The cons:
The game is not finished, and some areas a rough around the edges. But the core game is very functional and is very fun to play!
Hopefully we are all like-minded individuals, so if you are narcissistic, mouth-breathing, and technically not a citizen of the U.S., you should like this game.

I'll try this out in a bit.
However I may be intrigued to play again just to so I can know what a Hubbin is.

Guy1: There's nothing bitchin about the games soundtrack. It's practically all elevator music.
Guy2: That's just hilariously stupid. I can't imagine playing a fighting game with "Girl from Ipanema" playing in the background.
If you wanted a deep gaming experience, I don't think you'll be impressed. But I think you'll be surprised just how much is in that little game.
I never asked for this!

Like an actual opinion and not something as impersonal as site whoring.

Um, what? I just linked to the official forums. Do you think I'm site whoring? I'm just a fan of the game, not affiliated with the creator, of the game or the earth.
That is true, there isn't a main quest. If killing things, going deeper into dungeons, and killing more things isn't what you want, then I don't think you'll like it.
It will just fade into obscurity, slowly dimming as it passes into the distance, so far away that you can't quite make out what it is and you will be all Hey, is that Jim? and then you will despair because you can't quite remember what it is that used to be an awesome little indy game with so much potential and so little support...and then you will start to think about boobies and you will forget all about me, your job, your coworkers, your nephew who just graduated high-school today, isn't he doing good, and then, when you slowly pass off into dreamland, you will thank me, in the quietest of whispers, that you did not read this entire paragraph.
it would be nice to give this game a whirl.
