The Forgettable Dungeon
i bought this game during the kickstarter campaign. it’s a fun game but i keep dying lol
it’s a shame linux support was dropped, but the version of Torque used doesn’t really work well with modern linux distros. it works well enough with proton but split screen is broken.
– Real player with 89.7 hrs in game
This is a great game and it’s just starting. If you’re looking for a co-op adventure this is definitely a top recommendation, though that’s not to say it can’t be enjoyed alone. Everybody I’ve introduced through the split screen function loved it and went on to buy the game for themselves. The world is varied enough that no two runs ever feel too similar, and there’s still secrets and entire dungeons I haven’t been able to figure out even after 50 hours player.
If you run into any issues, I would encourage you not to give up right away. The developer is engaging and passionate about his project, and very quick to fix any reported issues. It gives me great hope that this game will continue to thrive and only become an even more enjoyable experience.

NeuroVoider
I love this game. It is a perfect perma-death rogue-lite. The only thing it lacks is online multiplayer, and maybe secret loot rooms ( unless i haven’t found one yet).
–——————————-OVERVIEW & GAMEPLAY—————————————-
After the difficulty selection screen, the second screen gives you the choice of 3 different classes:
Dash(light armor, fast, dodge/evade ability)
Rampage ( medium armor, medium speed, high damage ability where you fire both weapons at high speed/dmg)
– Real player with 27.0 hrs in game
A good rogue-like game, just not a memorable one.
NOTE: I refer to the single player part of the game: I never played coop, so if that’s what you are after, read another review!
Let’s start with the good parts. The game delivers pretty much everything that’s promised in the promotional video: the levels are random, the robot you control is customizable and, well… there are robots everywhere.
The soundtrack deserves an honorable mention: whether you buy the deluxe edition, or you get the album from somewhere else, the Code Wrath album by Dan Terminus is worth your money, if you are into the genre (techno).
