The levels have no shortage of urns to smash and chests to open, as well as a set amount of monsters to kill and items to pick up. The maps themselves put your character on rails, sort of like a Scalelextric track for you to follow. Levels are randomly generated and usually show outlines of what kind of monsters to expect. Each of these three sections has a small overlap with the other two in monster types, but is largely with its own visual style and monster types. Before the big boss are three smaller bosses at the end of each section, closely resembling favorites from other RPGs. The length you choose will determine how far down in the game's overall completion level you get, with 100% obviously being the final level where the Archdemon lies. Once you select a duration, the game will generate a few levels of varying size for you to crawl through before the quest ends and you get the rewards. You can either make a short dive for ten minutes or select a much longer hour-long experience it all depends on how much time you have to spare. The game's primary unique feature is the dungeon crawling duration selection. Once you've finished faffing with all of these systems, you dive into the church dungeon and begin to configure your adventure. The game's only two level-up stats are HP and MP, one serving as health and the other as a pool to dip into to cast spell cards and equip item cards, sealing away a certain amount of your MP pool. Each time you use the cauldron, the cost of emptying it goes up, so sometimes, it's best to leave it for a while if you can afford to. Give the dear lady an enormous tip and you'll get your extra skill point and all those shiny items. Whenever you discover unknown items or treasure, or even level up in a dungeon and spend a skillpoint on, for example, HP, the opposite skillpoint will get dumped into the cauldron along with random items. There's also the innkeeper who serves the game's second unique function by way of a magical cauldron. Once you've spotted or killed a new monster, it'll show up in the Sage's dialogue menu. He also serves as the game's bestiary and gives you tips and tricks for dealing with certain monsters if you're struggling. He identifies cards for you and increases your card bar slots for an enormous sum of gold. Other NPCs include the Sage, who is a Knockoff Nigel of the dearly departed Deckard Cain. Potions work the same as in Path of Exile and have a specific number of charges in them which can either be restored by picking up potion charge items in dungeons or spending gold at the card upgrade lady. ![]() Because items like armor and health potions are represented as cards, they can also be upgraded, increasing their effectiveness as well as their charges. A lot of the time, higher-level cards require a higher level character, so you'll find yourself prevented from "twinking" early on until you've cleared some more of the main dungeon. Each upgrade will require a concoction of the game's dozen or so rune cards as well as some gold, and increases the card's effectiveness and stats up to three times. ![]() Once you've found and identified cards with the sage, you can upgrade them with rune cards. This aspect of the game goes even further since the card system is the primary form of progression. Each character has a surprisingly large library of cards they can discover throughout the game, not to mention that each card can have a magical rarity which will provide the card with a bonus for example, a magical-grade teleport skill card might heal HP when used. ![]() You start off with two card slots, which can be unlocked to fill the entire lower line of the screen, and you'll be provided with some simple skills and a health potion to take up these slots. Because of the game's level construction, all of the characters are technically ranged however, the mage's fireball, for example, is an actual projectile. The latter two are only unlocked after reaching level 5 with the warrior, which serves as a useful way to squirrel the player into the tutorials for the first few levels of the game. Each game begins with choosing one of three heroes-the iconic warrior, rogue, or mage. One has to wonder if more features are to come and take their places on these empty pedestals. ![]() GameplayThe main title menu is rather ominous and features a dozen or so pedestals, only one of which begins the game proper.
