I did a search and not much came up for anything about Desktop Dungeons so I figured I'd post this. I was just watching the live stream of GDC and saw this game on there and had to check it out and so far, I'm loving it!
It's called Desktop Dungeons and its a bad-ass dungeon-crawler type game that randomly generates maps that usually only last about 10 minutes so its great for quick little sessions.
I'm sure people on here know a lot more about this game than I do, but I just found it and have been getting really addicted and figured I'd share it with everyone before going back in for another session.
If my computer gets an STD, I swear, I'll write a strongly worded PM to you.
Edit: 'EY! this is surprisingly roguelike.
Edit: Yeah, this is pretty fun. Reminds me of Rogue, Vulture's Eye and DF Adventure mode. Not AS complex, but I think It'll have its own "DYWYPI?" meme thing.
Google DYWYPI if you don't know what it means. (In short, you just died. Again.)
I've beat it with everything but the Rogue :/
Any suggestions on how to use that accursed class?
I'm stuck on everything except for the fighters.
Mages - Play Elf
Gnomes may look like they are better but believe me elves are the way to go. You need to pray you get the Burndaraz glyph early, after you have that convert everything else, don't join mystera arnor (or whatever the magic god is) he may look useful but it just doesn't work.
Thief - Play hobbit. Potions restore health and magic. Halflings let you get a large number of health potions that is all

Best combo for me so far:
Human warrior. Find altar to Taurog. COMMENCE SMASHING.
Still have not won one single game.Bask in my radiance.

I TRY so hard to conserve black spaces. By the time I reach the boss, it's just GG.
