Awesome game, only sad that my old computer died and can't play it.

I humbly disagree.

I'm tempted to pick it up and give it a go. At just $5, it's not a high risk investment.

It's a very purely distilled roguelike, boiling out the stat and gear management, instead opting for an automatic route where your character will decide if the gear is better or worse than what he has (how staffs are better than daggers, I'll never know) and stats are managed behind the scenes (though I think you can still view them). It makes it so that the only two things the player has to manage are traversing the dungeon and managing which skills you want equipped.

It adds up to a simple, accessible experience that provides coffee-break fun. I think I've made it to like level 5 at most right now. The environments are a bit drab, mostly just changing color from floor to floor, but it's not a bad game at all.

Thanks for the summary! Sounds like a less arcadey Gauntlet.

Exactly. It's a simple, kinda easy, retro-inspired roguelike. Almost all of the game's mechanics are automated, the exceptions being movement and the using of the potions.

Interesting find. Sadly it is just reselling a steam key, which I consider a bit pointless. If you are going to get a steamworks game after launch you might as well wait for a sale on it.

Hopefully though it will branch out eventually to being a DRM free copy for your purchase also.
Lets say certain game is available on steam, such as Pineapple Smash Crew. If there is nothing in description about steam key (like in description for this game, all there is the mention that it is DRM Free), does it mean that the game simply does not come with it? I ask mainly because a lot of games for Humble Bundle came with steam key and DRM free.

Again, sorry if its pointless/stupid question, I am just really curious.

This is correct. I purchased Wizorb from the HS, and (even though the game is sold on Steam) my purchase only came with a DRM-free download, no Steam key.

Also, TY to Wafflecones, Awesomenauts is on the list. Since it's a multiplayer title, don't hold your breath for a DRM-free version.

Dustforce DRM-free is good stuff, thanks.

I wonder if they're gonna get the Dungeons of Dredmor DLCs on the Humble Store. I already have them all on Steam but want to get them DRM free as well.
