Anyone given this a bash

I’m following a few how to videos and it looks great - much deeper than I thought, kind of dominions kind of fallen enchantress

It’s a single developer and the biggest complaint so far is the lack of guidance or tips on screen - for example make a follower an advisor but there’s no tip tool to tell you why or the benefits but it’s still been worked on

That one is on my Wishlist but the map graphics and low price have kept me from buying it.

So...... you’re waiting for it to get more expensive before you buy?

No, these lower priced games worry me about their quality. Makes me think it's just a cash grab.

Looks like a low-res version of Warlock and Warlock II.

Not saying it's bad, just old school.

Deffo old school - content and imagination

I once got stuck at a conference with a laptop only powerful enough to run dwarf fortress - disappeared down an old school hole for 2 weeks and loved it

Same here.  Not that I have any real objection to the price, but I admit I have a hard time getting past those visuals. 

It also seems like a menu-heavy game, requiring a lot of clicking.  By itself it's not a deal-killer, but it does make me a bit hesitant.
