People *really really* like this game, right? I have the impression of this being a game that has truly devoted fans.

I have over 170 hours in Caves of Qud on Steam and I played 100% of those hours on Steam Deck. The controller support for this game is phenomenal; don’t hestitate to pick it up even if the interface looks a bit weird at first. You’ll quickly realize just how deep the game is and the unique graphics add to the weird post-post-post apocalypse setting. Think 10,000+ years of history buried in Z-levels you can explore.
I recommend starting as a Marshtaur or the Gunslinger Crow for your first character, learning the game is hard. Also don’t feel bad to play on the RPG setting with saves, Ironman should only be attempted once you understand the game. Otherwise you’ll never make it out of Red Rocks/Joppa area.

I’m maybe 10 hours in and i love it already. Some of the sharpest most concise writing i’ve seen in a videogame.
Not nearly as overwhelming as i expected, incredibly parsable in fact. A must for fans of Ray Bradbury or Scavenger’s Reign

$30?? Seems steep
Update…… Ok ok I watched a lengthy review I’m intrigued

Top notch narration. Props to whoever wrote the script for this trailer. 10/10

How much will I like this if I like Nethack a lot but I give up on it after a couple dozen hours of getting crushed when playing it every few years

I’ve had this in my steam library since I picked up rimworld and dwarf fortress but never got around to actually playing..
Might have to reinstall and actually give it a go on PC after reading some of the comments in here

The game felt wayyyyyy too slow to me in the tutorial. Like doing anything took 37 menus and 5 minutes of effort

Never played these types of games but it looks interesting

So what exactly… is this game? It looks cool but I’m not exactly sure what the gameplay loop is. Is it a roguelite RPG with grid-based combat? Or more a dungeon crawler similar to binding of Isaac? Or something that’s more its own thing?
