I’ve been killed twice now. Both deaths were, of course, completely avoidable. The second one was by far the more stupid of the two. I’d been merrily wandering around, bashing in skulls and collecting several magic sacks, when I came across a room with several enemies. I’d been having such an easy time of it that I just wandered in and started slashing away.


I saw my health get low, but you auto-use healing potions when necessary, so that’s fine… or would have been, if I’d not already used them all. I had a ton of options left that could have saved me, but I just decided to keep slashing away, secure in the knowledge that I was safe from death. Except, as I said, I wasn’t.

I was shocked when the death screen came up, then once I’d recovered I gave myself a good kicking. No matter how simple the roguelike, you really, really can’t take things for granted like that.

I’m an idiot.
