"A dark-fantasy, turn-based, retro-fusion of classic turn-based RPGs and roguelikes, all presented with a unique neon aesthetic."

I played it on release and it's pretty fun but not for everyone. It's an open world adventure game (not actually a roguelike) and it's pretty vague on what you need to do and where you need to go. It's super polished and still interesting, I'd recommend it for fans of old-school adventure games.

Extremely positive actual roguelike? I need to try that.

It's only kind of a rogue like from what I could tell. It doesn't really have permanent death, though the dungeons are random each time you enter so if you die in one you need to start anew in there.

It's cool though

I just started playing Caves of Qud. It has two modes: rogue mode with perma-death and rpg mode where it saves at a checkpoint you can set. Having both options is nice.

I like this style of game, so I'll definitely be trying Moonring, too.

I've played through the first dungeon and I like it so far.
