I gotta say, this is impressive. The art, the music, the presentation, animations and special effects, even the UI feels slick. While im not far enough along to see just how deep the mechanics get, it definitely looks like it will satisfy me, someone who spent a lot of time just in Disgaea's item worlds. Love the Diablo-like equipment system too. My offbrand GameSir controller works great and controller layout works well once you get used to it. Edited

this game surprised me, I enjoyed it a lot. the quests, the pacing, dialogue, items and enchanting/upgrade systems. the atmosphere and music, all really impressive, like I said, especially since it was made by just one dev. I'd guess I played it for ~40 hours for maybe 85-90% completion

This game is a true gem. Caves of lore is a turn based pixilated RPG with a good story. There are actually books in the game that you can read and discover secrets. The combat mechanics are clear enough and have increasing layers of complexity that you can develop. The main story takes 30-60 hrs to complete. For completionists there is an optional crafting system, and a rogue lite random loot system with several key unique plot items to guide the story. I hope the game gets a chapter 2.

Fun, but Unstructured This game is great, but its a bit TOO classic. The lack of guides or prompts means you check notes and quest logs or books and things to figure out what to do next, but at times there IS no clear next, and I've hit a dead end. Wish there was more clear guidance or better guides online, but with neither I'm unable to play further.

This is the game I have been wanting to find for years. An easy to pick up, D&D inspired RPG with turn-based combat, made by someone who really gets it. Wonderfully crafted old school game without unnecessary things getting in the way. Great balance between simplicity to make it easy to start playing and complexity to keep it interesting and fun. Absolutely worth the price and more. Thank you for making this!
