The dungeon generation worked really well and the combat was pretty fun. The game is VERY hard though. In a lot of the rooms there are almost too many enemies for me to handle. This is of course a personal taste thing, but I would have liked it to start easier and then gotten harder as I went along (it may do this already, but i think it's very hard from the beginning). Other than that, the game is pretty fun and seems very polished."},{"author_name":"Michael Hall","author_uid":"20062","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 8:19pm","epoch":1367266440,"text":"Very nice randomly generated dungeons.
