What to say.... It was my second Roguelike game that I played seriously and totally fell for it.
I'll jott down some of the main reasons:

• Incredible different play styles depending on the class/builds, I had never seen something remotely approaching before
  
• Despite this a remarkable overall balance
  
• Excellent system of meta-progression
  
• Deep lore, lots of love here from the developper
  
• Great tactical combat system, not too hard, not too easy
  
• Huge and helpful community
  
• Always being updated with new contents and fixes
  
• TE4.org that keeps forever the memory of the fallen heroes
  
• Not only for hardcore Roguelike fans, difficulties settings for everyone

As nothing is perfect I'll suggest a few improvements, which I am not the first to make:

• Part of the second half of the game is kinda repetitive and plain grinding, namely the Orc Fortresses , there is room for improvement here. The character has almost reached its peak performance at this stage, the focus should be on story rather than mob genocide.
  
• Limited vault size even for fully purchased game

To conclude, if you are a RPG enthusiast and can tolerate retro graphics you MUST buy this game.
One of my best gaming experinces since I was a teen !

EDIT 2020: Nominated for Labor of Love, buy the game already !
