Tabletop dungeons and dragons meets match 3 (also has futuristic story setting). Game has real time pause so you can plan moves/combos and has co op. Has endless mode. Only thing it seems to be lacking is steam achievements in regards to things like "Beat (insert campaign here) on difficulty X" or "Beat (insert campaign here) with out using pause".

Also does not seem to be any option to rebind keys from what i can tell in game options (if it is their, i am definitely not seeing it). You use keys 1-5 and the f keys f1-f5. F keys for spells and 1-5 for weapons. Game is labeled as having controller support, but from what ive played of it so far, you 100% want to use the mouse. This is not the type of game for a controller. The story is a bit lacking in terms of the amount of text (wish they added another paragraph or 2 to it) but what is their, i found to be decent and enjoyable to read.

Now is it worth the default price in my opinion? Whelp, for us canadian's its 12.99 before taxes, with taxes your looking at 14.50 roughly. As with any game, comes down to if your able to get 1 hour of gameplay/fun for each 1 dollar spent. So far, from how much i am enjoying it and the fact it has an endless mode, i believe i will get my moneys worth.

So far, my 1.8 hours ive clocked in is after having done the tutorial and the first campaign story and thats with fiddling with the controls and a bit of idle time as well looking for certain pieces of info. So its a safe bet you will find out if the game is for you well before you reach the 2 hour refund time limit. Thus making it a safe investment in that regard.

Not much more to say really, vid's on store page and pics shows you the core of the game play. Overall, i give the game a thumbs up. Both casuals and hardcore gamers can enjoy this in my opinion since you can choose to use real time pause or not and their is a difficulty meter setting as well for a more intense or laid back experience (the meter ranges from 1-11 with 8 being the default difficulty setting) and the steam achievements can be earned by all with out much trouble it seems.

The only real gripe i have, is that i cant pick dwarf for every single medieval fantasy based story >.<. Thats pretty much it, all i got left to say is, Rock and Stone brother/Long live bruenor battlehammer and the gutbuster brigade! Bwahahahaha!

Edit: Fair warning for those that choose to play through the game on the hardest setting. You can get through pretty much all but the last campaign without converting diamonds for gold (i was able to do it, its very very doable). But come the last campaign, the word "extreme" that is put in brackets, is put in their by the dev for a reason (unless your playing it on id say, 8 or less, in which case ignore this warning). Its no joke on 11 difficulty setting.

And lastly, endless mode and dice mode dont "save" when you quit, so once you start, be sure you got the time to do it till you die.
