great to finally have THIS here!!!!!267t2184!
I like these higlights about the game:

- Interactive surroundings! Topple braziers, push coffins, smash doors or turn them into wooden golems to (hopefully) serve your bidding.

- Choose or toggle between graphic mode and traditional ASCII at any time. Toggle between 3D mode and top down view, in ASCII or in the graphic mode.

- Intuitive control system will get rid of the need to memorize hundreds of keys. Though you can still do so, if you're into that.

Also, the sneaking seems interesting, and one is not forced to use it.


By the way, the slanted top-down view of Queen's Wish looks terrific, IMHO. I wish more games used it.

First time seeing 2.5D ASCII; what's wrong with 1.5D you'd say?
Looking forward to a punishing roguelike! Thanks GOG / Biskup & Terstiege!

The Save The World Edition seems to be missing the wallpapers it's advertised with. As of now the soundtrack is the only extra that's accessible.

Well, In fact the dungeons are real 3D, although the presention is isometric,.it is rotable in all directions, zoomable and even the ASCII is 3D doesn´t matter the pojection chosen. What is not 3d are the character sprites apparently in the vein of Doom, but I consider it does not makes the game 2.5D.

Actually, only 6. ("Go Back" isn't a gender, but rather is an option that, I assume, would take you back a page in character ceration, in case you made a mistake or changed your mind.)

Wait till you hear it's a Fantasy Genre. What'll shock you even more is that there are other races too. Who'da thunk Fantasy worlds would be so wild, diverse, mysterious and logic-bending. Surreal.

Hey, it appears to have a (honestly stupid & slightly creepy) mechanical difference. Personally, I'd have eschewed this selection entirely and just said, "Here's a box, here's a few points, make whatever the hell you want."

If the devs were being insistant, "Select your genitalia" would be more correct, while also glove slapping them with how obviously bad tying this to anything is.

Brings to mind the three genders in the second section of the novel The Gods Themselves, by Isaac Asimov. One of the best and most charming depictions of extraterrestrial beings ever written.
