Welp. Beat it. Eh. Better interface to a Wizardry clone. meh. no real walkthroughs or cheats to use. Everything you steal from an enemy ends up being cursed so wtf is the point? Thief can't steal til Level 25 anyway. It was a good time sink.

Superb.

Elminage Original is great so far. It's got controller support, the visuals look nice (nostalgic old 3d mazes, pixelated illustrations for characters, monsters and items, it's got all the classic Wizardry classes plus a few more, it's got a bunch of races and a ton of portrait options and the ability to load images. It's got a variety of dungeon tilesets and a world map and a story that threads things together enough for it to matter. It's got some QoL features that most of these games have (but that some of these games lack) like remembering your previous turn's action selection, or letting you hit one button to all-out-attack, or letting you speed up animations/text. It's very comfortable to grind this game and the vibes are good.

why does my mage lose intelligence when he levels up? My fighter has double the vitality of my cleric yet when we leveled to 2, my fighter gets 1 hp and my cleric gets 5? this is stupid.

I was taking a break from Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup and came across Elminage. It's great.

UPDATE: After 70+ hours, this is the most addictive Wizardry-style DRPG I've played in a long time. If you're into this style of game loop then give it a try. It's become one of if not my favorite in the genre. Elminage in a nutshell: encounter begins, target the enemy casters, buff AC, and since 3 rows of 4, get mage prepared to nuke. Turn starts, mage gets hit with confusion before her turn, and nukes the whole party including herself. Or the time the samurai got confused before her turn and then beheaded herself. This game has been amazing so far and I'm (estimating) about 1/4-1/3 of the way through. It is a tough recommend, however, because this is a Wizardry. If you liked Labyrinth of Lost Souls, Class of Heroes, or maybe even Operation Abyss/Babel (minus all the narrative), then this might be perfect for you! Wizardry (and Elminage) are full of downright unfair RNG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that will teach you the importance of save scumming. Every few steps in the dungeon is progress, though, and mercifully this game allows you to save mid-dungeon freely. The port is terrible, but functional once you get everything set up. Compared to Gothic (played on GOG), I am enjoying Original more because of the open-ended design -- once you clear the trial dungeon you unlock the rest of them, unlike in Gothic where dungeons are unlocked as you complete quests. Otherwise I'd say they're very similar, except Original gives you a permanent dungeon map where in Gothic you have to use spells, items to view maps. If you're playing on Proton, and notice the Config Tool is broken, it's not because you're playing on Proton. It's because the Config Tool is broken. I tried it on a Windows 11 VM and it still did not work. What I ended up doing was enabling Steam Input, mapping the controller to the WASD Keyboard and Mouse preset, then customizing the buttons to the pre-set keys in Elminage.
