Try 9th Dawn III on switch. It's Rouge X Diablo. Not as deep, but similar.

Can’t wait for my copy to arrive! Hopefully I enjoy it as much as you do.

I enjoyed this, thank you. Looking forward to diving into it soon!

This has been on my Radar for a while, enjoyed the playthrough! will have to buy it and give it a go now! :D Thanks!

Game Crafters is having new years sale 2025 for this game. I am picking it up then.

dwarf fortress gets a big recommend from me! thats a good one too

Book of the New Sun! Love that series.

The pump shotgun deals 1d2 damage several times in a spread

I must say though the game looks fun, the oversexualized women turn me off hard. It might be nostalgic to old ttrpgs and thats fine but it's not for me. I think there are other ways to let female characteres look cool and awesome. edit after seeing the whole video: Okay so the original version would have turned me off even more.. xD. To be clear: I don't say that its not okay to have more explicit art in a game. It's just nothing that appeals to me.

Man, I love Caves of Qud, and I love that you're covering it. Great taste!

Good video, well narrated & yes...more, please. :)

Love it! I would like to see more of it! Thanks!

Just when I thought I had enough games on my Steam Deck!

I really enjoyed the amazon dive you did. Plenty of those indie ttrpgs I see on amazon don't have reviews so bits like this are really helpful.

Ohhoo! This is one of my absolute favourite pc games ever. Love its weird fiction/purple prose(in a good way) styled writing. I've been on and off watching your videos and didn't know you cover also digital games! Anyways Caves of Qud definitely fits with your interests in adventure games where anything can happen. Btw have you played another recent pc rpg Skald: Against the Black Priory? Just finished the story and it was superb Ultima inspired Lovecraftian indie gem. Maybe the most atmospheric game of the year for me. I think you might love it. Live and drink, wanderer

Thanks for playing and showing what the game is like. The writing is interesting and definitely makes you feel like you’re in a world that you barely understand. I love that.

+1 for the algorithm.

Yes, please stream this game

Secrets of the Lost Tomb, Quest For the Lost Pixel , Machina Arcana and Iron Helm, Rogue Dungeon - kudos!

Nice! Saw this game a while ago and immediately thought this was a Dungeon Dive kinda game! Posted about it in the discord.

Heys Daniel, I really liked your top ten dungeon crawler video, and was excited to find the campaign for the Secrets of the Lost Tomb remaster was still active. I got the all-in and started looking up more plays and if anything was available. I found three boxes of the original stuff for seven bucks each. I got two boxes of minis: the core boss monsters, and the boss monsters from the myths and legends expansion. I also got the expansion Atlantis - Mystery of the 13, the tiles are still on the sprues and its pretty much untouched. I'd like to send the expansion to you, whether you need it or to use as a giveaway. Is there a way to do that? ediT: forgot to include what game I was talking about.

Qud is great! I've been playing it on and off for years, despite never really getting very good at it. Maybe now that it's 1.0 I'll stick with it a bit and see how far I can get.

I hit 2000 hours exactly the day before 1.0 released. Caves of Qud has been out for two weeks, but it's been my favorite game for years! It's great to see it reach folks that enjoy it so thoroughly. Thumbs up with letting folks play how they want; The other game modes were added for good reason! Ain't a wrong way to play... Except maybe not looking at things. You gotta look to learn, and you gotta run to live! And drink!

What the hell? You aren't a pair of disembodied hands???

I've been eye-balling this game for a while. glad it's finally released. I tend to not like to snag games before being "Official" due to bugs and progress resets. I am a HUGE GammaWorld nut.

Certified good taste. One of my favorite games of all time.

Hey Daniel ! Thanks for sharing this digital experience, I’m wondering how you feel about reading on the steam deck ?

Dungeon Dive was better than digital dive ,board game films are more interesting.

It reminds me of Ultima for sure!

marking as important means it warns you if you try to sell it, and if you throw/drop important things (like knives) you will auto-pick them back up when you auto-explore

I used to play NetHack all the time as I discovered it in my youth in the early 80's. When I saw CoQ I immediately fell in love with this world. I've played over 120 hours now and it's getting more every week...

Haven't played Caves of Qud for a few years now, but one of my favourite computer games of all time 🙌

I used to love a game called The Magic Candle in the 80s and those looks like a total glow-up of that game. Looks great!

I think you're onto something with this format... playing a video game... with spectators... seems very modern! 😄

i see this video was posted four years ago.. i'm wondering how has it aged? is it still a worthy purchase.?

Hey, fellow Decker! Steamdeck is about the only way I have been enjoying my gaming. This game has been on my deck since day one.

I love Caves of Qud to bits! I went bananas when Vaults of Vaarn came out as kind of an homage - what a game (what TWO games! ^^).

Hell yes. Been getting into this and Moonring recently.

Man, back when I got started in the hobby saw this sucker, and was amazed, but not for the $120 it was going for secondhand since it was out of print. Kicking myself for not grabbing it at THAT price.

I just got way into Qud!! I was wondering if you’d be into it too Daniel!!

Yay, Digital Dive! Been eyeing this game, thanks for the video

First lol

I do love this game. Once started, I was constantly going back to play for a few hours at a time. However, one of my gripes was that once you complete each book, you have to reset everything (the board, village, characters, etc.). I understand that the game needs to restarts and everything is book specific, but I felt bad losing my map tiles, research, townspeople and all of my hard work.

There’s a biome expansion for Sandbox Generator now.

This looks extremely cool! I'll have to bring it up to my group

Loved the analysis at the start as it focussed my understanding of my preferences to game experience. Also the best comment in the video, "I found the system got in the way of me having fun". That's the key to this, having fun. I like the 5 Parsecs/ Leagues/ Klicks system, but I come from miniature skirmish. I loathe the prescriptive fighting fantasy style books. Long may it continue that we like different things. I'm not sure I'm tempted to try solo rpgs as presented here but it's great to see what's available. I think I'll be continuing with the 5 P/L/K systems alongside game systems like Silver Bayonet / Forbidden Psalm - Last War. All skirmish games with a campaign element to a greater or lesser extent. They key for me is to find the challenge and variation without being bogged down with unneccessary procedure or being too constrained. I find a break and change of system also helps as each "system" has it's strong and weak points. Thanks for the vid

The genius of Space Hulk is that it is perfectly designed for situations where one person knows the rules and one person has never played. Just let the noob run the 'Stealers. Super forgiving, simple to understand and incredibly fun for them. I remember the evil fun of having a 'stealer blip that represented ZERO 'stealers (It was supposed to represent a "scanner malfunction". I think they may have removed this in newer revisions?) and tormenting the marine player by keeping it lurking just out of line of sight so he'd waste points keeping a terminator on overwatch waiting for me to reveal it. lol I always wanted to make multi-level 3d Space Hulk maps using Necromunda terrain from the old box set.

Love the library one at the end! Sounded so fun. Ty for making the video!

My pledge was really bad packed and arrived with a lot of damaged components. I filled out the survey for replacments and never got any response. Really disappointed and will not support this again.

Heck yeah, one of my favs. Excited to check this out
