Plain and simple this is a very good game. If you want the traditional rogue experience in a dungeon that you traverse by levels, but want something more modern than the classics, you cannot go wrong with this game. The race and class system is interesting and versatile. It is not profound in the amount of combos but there are plenty. Its the type of game where after you die you are thinking of what build will help you conquer the challenge you just had.

In this dungeon the enemies are living their lives separate of the player, which really helps with immersion. Where most traditional crawlers like DCSS put you in the dungeon and say go fight to get lower, you are supposed to do it just just for the joy of it. It works too and that is why we love these games, but Zorbus takes it a bit farther.

They say here are some subtle hints, a few books and some wise cracking quips from the people trying to kill you. Now go try to attain Godhood!

I just got into seeking out rogues even though I had played some in the past. I dont think this game breaks any ground or does anything new. But in this genre that is not what many players are looking for. If you are on Steam and not playing free versions this game is also far cheaper than most others. At $7 you cant go wrong when most traditional roguelikes are $15-25.

One thing I will recommend besides the game is to read the books you find, the lore books. Im used to playing grand RPGs so having no story or not understanding my goals for fighting in this dungeon was a little strange. But once I started to read the lore books it filled in a bunch of information and I understood that I sought out the final floor of the place as to achieve godhood! Who wouldnt risk life a limb for that.

One other thing. There is a "silver spoon" skill or trait. Basically you get it as the noble or if you create your own character its an option. Its come with a +1 sword, money. magic staffs and teleport cards. For those that like to role play its a fun add on. Its also fun to start loaded up but at the expense of some of the other skills.

If you like fantasy based traditional rogues in a dungeon there is no reason NOT to get this game.
