What makes this game worth $40 more than any other roguelike?

[ibol]

I greatly appreciate all the positive things that have been said in this thread, and I respect the intelligent discourse too, even if some of it is not what I'd like to hear

But I would ask that no more 'arguing' , 'name-calling' , etc take place. I have seen people whose initial reaction is similar to DakaSha's, and two weeks later , they buy the game, and tell me how great it is. Obviously, this is not true in every case.

I've made my point, so I'll stop talking. But it's hard to do.
