![]() I noticed that many people regard DRL through rose tinted glasses. Hey, thanks for backing our Kickstarter! I wanted to put a few comments here, as there's a bit of sentiment that is (what I hope) slowly becoming invalid, and a bit of misconception on where we're heading with JH now! Sometimes you want that 30 min-an hour experience with non stop action and this game delivers that in spades. I'm not always in the mood for a 5-10 hour run in DCSS (I'm a slow player). I use the game as something to play between the bigger RLs. You are not going to get the timesink you get out of something like Nethack or DCSS. ![]() Again this is more of a short RL experience. Now the OP says he wants to sink a lot of hours in the game. And DoomRL is still there to play for free for those who prefer it. Most of the options that have been "taken away" from DoomRL were either boring or flat out bugs. I think it is well worth playing now and getting better all the time. The game has already developed a lot since release. I see complaints about the kind of over the top speech in the game but you have the options to turn it off or even adjust the profanity in it if you don't want that. But if you want that 30 races/professions sort of game this is not that sort of experience. There are 3 classes at the moment and a number of fun ways to play. The fun comes from doing the different challenges. You'll spend 30 minutes to an hour on an average run. This is a coffee break RL like it's predecessor DoomRL.
