Floor 2 and 3 both have missile weapons. You need to look harder. Both secrets are kind of obvious.

I think by Floor 4 you should have found every missile weapon type actually. If nothing else,
Floor 3 definitely has a Bow, has a hint pointing you back to it, and it's not even actually hidden, just a puzzle in the middle of the room
Dunno what to say to you about the combat though. I find it to be the highlight of the game next to the dungeon design.

Just finished this. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what Almost Human does next.
Didn't win the "free" copy that was posted in here earlier.
Is this game worth it? My backlog is massive (and money is tightish) but this Dungeon Keeper type game tickles my fancy.
(One of my favourite memories was getting attacked by the screaming broccoli and desperately throwing knives and other crap at them or dropping them in a pit. Oh and killing the mummy at the very beginning with the gate was one of my "Holy Crap that worked" moments)

I assume you mean Dungeon Master, but yep. It is a ridiculously good value for the price paid.

It's exactly like that, well, you can't kill monsters with gates.
Yes, I mean Dungeon Master. Had the expansion too CHAOS STRIKES BACK. But it was HARD. (I was also only 6 at the time.)
This makes me sad
This game needs a demo...
too often when I need to access items in someones inventory during combat, I get killed. Would not have happened if I could have assigned hotkeys to certain inventory items.

the more I play this, the more I think a touch version of this game would be great. They should defiinitley try to port this to the tablets. It would make spell casting more user friendly and fun. I'd definitley double dip

Well, duh, of course you could get killed if you try to use something during combat, is in real time, the monsters will not wait for you to lick your wounds, if you are severely injured or need to pick another weapon or whatever from your inventory, the best option is fleeing, this way you can heal and equip yourself safely, and then go back to battle.

question: do the monsters STAY dead once you killed em or do they respawn if you say, leave the dungeon/level/floor or whatever and then come back?
Man, I had no trouble tossing my Shurikens between all four characters (guaranteed hit so full EXP earned!) and some inventory management mid-combat. Juggling potions mid combat like a boss.
Some enemies respawn (well:
) but most don't. No grinding your way to victory here! :x
Some enemies respawn (well:
just Floor 6, really
Maces have some bad -Accuracy on most of them but the best Mace in the game
procs Freeze, which is pretty damn ridiculously good

Well, I was able to find a sling to use with all of my rocks, and a bow plus several arrows in Levels 2-3. Perhaps you didn't take the time to get everything and just rushed through?

I think I've found 3 bows and 28 arrows so far. That doesn't include crossbows and crossbow bolts. I did miss the sling though, it felt great when I got that first bow.
Will keep a sack of rocks from now on.
Are you able to retrieve 'all' of your arrows after defeating an enemy? Not using my frost arrows at all in fear of how scarce stuff is around.
Just realized my only mage is a master of nothing! Should I specialize?

Special arrows will turn into regular arrows once you use them.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Yeah, once I learned that I just said fuck it, fired them all off so that I at least had a good amount of arrows in his possession so he didn't keep running out. I think I'm at 12, just finished Floor 6.
there are spells you can do to enchant arrows

Speaking of arrows, I just made it to the 7th floor and I only have four quarrels. Did I miss any? Four doesn't seem like much at all.
Also, about Floor 6,
Also, about Floor 6,
can I return to previous floors, or is this a point of no return?

Cool, thanks.
There are 3 tilesets.
Thank you.
That sounds fair, if what I heard about the game length is correct. I'll pick this up for the weekend.
I feel kind of stupid. I went with the default party, so I never went through character creation. Didn't look at my character sheets in detail either. I had no clue about this! I know I've seen at least 2 other skulls that I never picked up, and one that I lost somewhere along the way. I'd at least like to collect the last skull that I saw, but can't seem to find a guide for them. Now I'm wondering what else I've missed.

I've never really played one of these games before, but this looks really interesting. Have too many other games to play right now, but I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale on Steam!

Just pick one and go with it and the supplement with another skill.
Rouge dont have a huge use of assassination unless they are back row dagger attackers.
Swords and Unarmed deall pretty good damage and weapons appear pretty early
maces and axes are less accurate but deal more damage
a fighter should probably get at least 8 armor to get light armor proficiency or

Now that my rogue gets the double arrow attack (and now that I have around 15 arrows) he's become a much better damage dealer. Couple that with the ability to enchant the arrows with magic damage and he's even more powerful. I'm sure assassination is great too, but if you pump points into missiles you won't regret it.
Assassination/Dagger on my Rogue and she was pretty much a monster in terms of reliable damage output. Backstabbing isn't too bad with a good source of freeze on your side. That and the window for backstab is pretty wide so it's surprisingly easy to get it off even on fast turning enemies. All you really need to do is attack at any point before they're completely turned around.
That said, the ranged weapons let you not care about Dexterity which is a nice plus (which also makes Missile's +Dex a little questionable).

You can attack from the back row with daggers once you have a few points in assassinate.
There is no fast travel to previous floors, you gotta hoof it manually.
That's the nice perk of Dagger Rogue, they upgrade every floor until they get their ridiculously good final weapon :x
awesome then I'll go for daggers, exactly how many points in assasination do you need?
12, though I'd probably just keep up with Assassination for Quick Attack and Piercing Attack personally.

Eh, I dunno, this game is wearing thin on me. The puzzles are good in many cases but so far they all involve just a small group of elements (buttons, sliding doors, trap doors and a few others).
Combat is pretty meh.. every enemy is effectively the same.. you circle strafe them and attack appropriately. The only times when I use any other strategy is when the enemy is weak enough that I don't have to care about strafing.
I guess I'm about halfway through the game and there have only been two tilesets so far as well. Magic is barebones, with nothing interesting that I've found yet.. just straight ahead attack spells. Weapons don't seem to differ much.
I was liking this at first, but I'm getting tired of it..

Picked this up last night after a very brief internal debate...
WOW.
This game is fun, they have certainly captured the old-school feel. Just made it to Floor 3. And I had to force myself to turn it off. (Just one more puzzle, just one more.)
Someone said there was 3 different types of secret buttons? More?
The two I know of:
Without spoiling too much, how hard is it to pick up on the other types?

The small rock in the top-mid-right.
The long block in the top-mid. (This one is pretty obvious).

I think the last type is pretty obvious but it's
something added to the walls, not a button or oddly shaped rock
For something more concrete:
it's a faint magic rune symbol

Also keep in mind that other tilesets add other secret button types.
