0.0 hrs last two weeks / 6.3 hrs on record
Posted: 25 Jan, 2019 @ 11:51pm

I really wanted to enjoy this but it fell short in my eyes. I gave it 6 hours and was able to get a minor thrill a couple of times but it didn't last long. I played a TON of ToME so I probably have a pretty big bias when it comes to these types of game but I was just mostly bored throughout my playthrough. Weirdly, the thing that made me call it quits was the fact that you couldn't do the auto explore past the crates. It's the little things I guess. I also felt my stats and spells didn't mean jack crap most of the time. Pretty much just auto-attacking everything I see and maybe popping a potion on a boss here and there. I'll keep my eye out for updates though.

Hi Skogin,

I am sorry you did no find the game entirely to your liking.

Thanks for pointing the autoexplore issue, I ll see if I can add an auto-exploration setting so you can choose on what it stops and doesn't. Fun fact, it originally didn't stop at crates or barrels but several players wanted it to stop :D.

Regarding the stat, well I won't do much changes as it is designed this way. What I am trying is that while individual stats give a small power jump, several of stat upgrades over time make a lot of difference. Anyway, feel free to hop by discord if you want to give me specifics about your thoughts on improving the game play

Best Regards!

6 hours and you come and hack it. Why even bother? If you are only willing to put 6 hours into a game, why spend another 10 minutes to actually write a review?

What difficulty did you play, because you really need to know your skills later in game even on easier difficulty levels. Good thing insectoids got a bit nerfed. On the other hand 6 hours is probably enough for 2 major dungeons and you barely met any challenge.
ToME bored me pretty quickly. It has even less roguelike elements than this title. Crates and barrels shouldn't stop your char from autoexploring, but that's a minor issue.

to be fair ToME isnt exactly a barrel of fun either

Oh I forgot, now I'm going to buy your game, it seems to be a good one, your community is so fast to defend you, that I want to enter your world. :p

Hello Just one comment about this word (in french Artéfact). You may use Artifact or Artefact as you want. Both are fine, if you're not a native British or American, you really don't care about it. BUT, if your language is born from the deformation of Latin, such as Spanish, Portuguese or French, you will tend to prefer the writing artEfact, because with us the E is pronounced like the English letter "A" in this word.

The comparison of this to ToME was my first impression as well.

Artefact is correct English: https://grammarist.com/spelling/artefact-artifact/

American's being anal about words not being mispelled the American way always makes me laugh. Only Americans could adopt mispelled English as their official language and then start informing the rest of the English speaking world: "no, you're spelling it wrong."

That's not unusual though: Many people will only review things they didn't like. Take a look at Yelp for example. If I go out to eat and have a crappy meal I'm way more apt to complain about it than gush online that my meal was great.

Also, one more comment about this review: look at this guy's reviews. He's posted 6 of them total on steam, it seems, and 5 of them are negative. Really?
