The the latest patch, which was released around January 16th, 2014, adressed much of the early game balance issues I had with this game. You still occasionally get some messed up spawning issues, but they're very very rare now.
The spellcasting, scroll, and wand system still needs work in order to be viable/fun outside of late game, but Rogues Tale is fun again and actually requires some skill rather than 100% luck.
