Impressions
Played the game, a was very pleasantly surprised by it. Wow, I say! What an atmosphere, what a vivid, living world created and conveyed with such minimalistic means.
Played as necromancer, enjoyed it a lot.
I only have a few comments, I understand that the game is way too old and noone will improve it, but still:
1) Feedback - knowing which monster does what is impossible before actual combat, and that is a pity. Also, knowing what benefit the defender gets from certain terrains would be quite helpful too. Much of the playing is pure guesswork, but it can be a good thing too.
2) Combat mechanics - the defender always attacks first, which is an enormous (unfair?) advantage.
Otherwise, it's surprisingly solid and good game! Thumbs up!
