Long ago, the Dark Lord Dredmor was bound in the darkest dungeons beneath the earth by great and mighty heroes. Centuries later, the magical bonds that hold him in place are loosening and his power grows ever stronger. The land cries out for a new hero, a powerful warrior or a mystic wizard like those spoken of in the prophecies of yore. What they have, unfortunately, is you. Step into the Dungeons of Dredmor! Embrace your destiny! Face evil of the likes the world has never known - the terrifying Swarmies, the undulating Thrusties, and the adoreable nest-building Diggles. Wield shoes decorated by the Dwarven Glittersmiths, all of whom have now committed suicide because of their shame, and embrace the joys of destroying giant moustache-wielding brick demons with a mace decorated with tawdry, delicious bacon. While you’re at it, be prepared to die. A lot. In hideous, screaming pain that makes you throw your keyboard out the window. The Dungeons await. Are you ready for them?
I really wasn't expecting much of this late addition to the Introversion Humble Bundle (which I actually only bought for the Intoversion games), but wow!
So much thought went into this! I struggled to get into it initially, but once I understood that the game was in fact a lot more complex than I judged it to be, I started really tinkering around with stuff.
It's really amazing what you can do in this game. And, as one of the previous reviewers mentioned as well, the humour is fantastic ("Congratulations! You have died!" :D )
The one single issue I have with this game is actually not so much a problem of the game, but of my expectations - it struggles a little on the old computer that I'm running it on and it doesn't really make sense to me why it should. The graphics are relatively simple and there aren't heavy graphical effects.
Aside from that, this game is as close to perfect as I've seen in a long time!
