Steam review snapshots
Add to this all the real feeling you get of 'exploring' the dungeon as rooms are revealed from the darkness as you…Simple and easy to understand UI, several classes, loads of items/weapons/armour, good music and randomly generated dungeons means there's lots of replayability.The animations, the moving, the combat is so lovely and clean compared to D&D which I find jittery and sometimes buggy.Why it fits
Check it if you want rpg, strategy filtered by single-player.
