Reviewer : Michael Hutton (a.ka. Beowuuf)
Gameplay : 7. It's pretty much the same as DM, nice puzzles, nice hack and slash. I'd say that the end is harder than DM, but that just adds to the gameplay element.
Originality : 6. Ok, most of the game is based on redoing the original dungeon, but ...

Reviewer : Michael Hutton (a.ka. Beowuuf)
Gameplay : 7. Despite being small, good puzzles, linear progression, though monster flood troubles meant I don't think I could finish it!
Originality : 7. I think it has a feel all of its own.
Difficulty : 10. In a bad way, because I couldn't finish it ...

Reviewer : Michael Hutton (a.ka. Beowuuf)
Gameplay : 7. Too many sprawling corridors more than balanced by some nice level layout/level puzzles, the test your strength part and evil fights.

Originality : 8. Ok, so it's DM 2 - the ways this was achieved, and the fact it was done tried on DM at all, is quite remarkable.
Difficulty : Don't know, so far found it hard due to the creatures you first encounter.
Puzzles : 7. Some nice ...

Reviewer : Michael Hutton (a.ka. Beowuuf)
Gameplay : 7. Come on, no two levels are the same! Large fights, tight corner fights, levels with key fun, maze levels, arenas, alot of puzzles - of course this means you will hit at least one type/puzzle you hate I guess :)

Gameplay : 5. Hack and slash, or hack and run. One or two different areas to break it up, might have been more... This is from one playing to end, not from exploring the game.

Gameplay : 6. Nice blend of fighting and puzzle, and the fact you are using starting characters against some of the nastier critters makes it challenging.

Basically before RTC really took off I had even day dreamed and created lots of notes in a paper notepad about a DM2 like game , except much, much larger. Sadly, it won't see the light of day, at best i started a book based on the ideas that has a tiny chance of being seen one day.


Did you ...

I tnoiced that it was apparently 20 years today I joined this forum! O.O I'm guessing the same sort of timescale is true for a couple of others around, even if you haven't noticed!

Anyway, cool to see the place still going, new dungeons still being released, etc. Just wanted to say 'hey' in honour ...

That was exactly where I was

I was looking back over the last year's posts in the thread and saw your birthday was close

You're fooling no one, that isn't a game that's just a TV capture from Match of the Day!
