The exploration of the pyramid is interesting and motivating and brings some new approaches to old concepts. While the mechanics are not very complex, most attributes and every of the few items is well-thought and has its use, like a warp item which shortens backtracking or a radar item that allows you to sneak through passages which are heavily populated with enemies.
The bizarre lore is made with passion and contributes to the unique atmosphere of the game.
The only downside is the combat system, which encourages you to go for a simplistic one-hit kill approach. But most combats can be avoided, even grinding is possible without actual fighting: One "dungeon attribute" offers a chance to win an engagement automatically, another one allows you too flee otherwise. This way you'll get money and stats passively and without even having investested lots of attributes in the "combat" category.
The single rooms are full of details and keep you motivated. At the same time the game does not overstay its welcome. With a playtime of ~8 hours it gives you all the time to dive into the gameplay and the atmosphere before it gets tedious or shallow.
For free game not much you can do wrong here!
Nice little game lots of fun
Excellent minimalist RPG set within a very weird universe, somewhere between Final Fantasy Legend and Space Funeral. The Ancient Egyptian / Sci-Fi atmosphere mix works very well, and manages to be both creepy and hilarious. The writing is particularly good, and is kinda reminiscent of these weird 80s PnP RPG manuals or Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, with MONSTER NAMES IN CAPS and an extremely serious tone applied to the most ridiculous subjects.
Your character has three "dungeon stats" (corresponding to the classic fighter / mage / rogue archetypes) which are used extensively through skillchecks, allowing you to explore rooms in different ways. There are optional treasures to find (which are described in detail and are a great contribution towards world-building, in a Dark Souls kind of way), and multiple endings (most of which being bad ends). Sadly, the combat is pretty barebones and usually amounts to spamming attack (or, when facing bosses, the item which allows you to attack twice), although the "dungeon stats" can alter the fights in a variety of ways (by allowing you to run away, killing the enemy instantly, or increasing the chances of a reward).
Although it's not really innovative gameplay-wise, it has that sense of wonder early 8/16-bit RPGs had, which is kind of lost nowadays.
+ Bizarre and fun setting
+ Excellent writing
+ Rewards exploration
- Kinda grindy
- Combat has very little tactical depth
7/10 It's free, it's not very long, it's fun and original. Give it a go if you like old-schools RPGs and weird settings.
