WHY I WANT IT

I'm not necessarily good at roguelikes, especially the ones with permadeath, but there's something attractive about well-made ones in older graphics styles. The 16-bit sprites and environments are pleasing to the eye and I'd love to see just how far I could make it since every playthrough is different and there are lots of choices to make.

I also like the part where I can capture monsters to keep as pets. I like that I can remove that pesky permadeath with the Adventure mode. And I really want to find out why the people in the game have been living underground for hundreds of years. That alone is interesting enough for me to want to brave my pixelated way through the Tangledeep!

When you add in a great soundtrack, the Steam workshop, and Very Positive reviews... how can I resist?

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
