This was a $10 purchase on Steam I picked up last fall, but I never loaded it up. I guess because I knew I was setting up a new rig soon and didn't want to install and get involved in anything on my old rig? I really don't remember, but I fired it up this weekend and it is quite a treat, especially at the $10 price point. Very surprised at the overall polish and fun factor. The graphics are stylized/cartoonish, but still a very visually appealing world. At the moment I'm a bit pissed at the game, because while down in a dungeon I ended up getting cursed (health drops to almost nothing until you find a healer), and there's no way I can get past the obstacles ahead so it's looking like my only option is to back out of the dungeon and go to a town to find a healer, or load an earlier save. That sort of shit irks me, but honestly I think I already got my ten bucks worth even if I stopped playing right now.
