I can only get to level 5 before inevitably getting filtered. Trying to go back from there transports me to the wrong staircase (it will place you next to staircase on level 4 going down to even lower level).

Loading times can be quite long. Correction, it's probably softlocked on "Returning to Lower Dungeons 2" while trying to go back from higher level.

Loading can be quite weird. After dying I picked Try Again and it started all over in another level, so I loaded from autosave and it teleported me to a different coordinate of that level.

I think I'm starting to understand the game more. Instead of comparing it to Diablo 2 it probably resembles Diablo 1 quite closely (which I never played), and suddenly everything clicks. Because of that mindset a lot about the game feels underwhelming, like loot, skills and movement speed. 

In such a dark game it would be nice to see a hub area to lay back and resupply.

thanks for the feedback! sorry about some of the level weirdness.

unsure of what you meant by the Try Again issues. By another level, do you mean another floor (ex. Lower Dungeons 2 or Upper Halls, etc) or another level as in the map regenerated itself and you start the game once more except with another layout? if it's the former, that's quite concerning

there is a hub level, but it's quite deep in! there are still some pacing issues i'm trying to figure out, since constant fighting can get quite tiresome. 

the game is very heavily inspired by Diablo 1 and the games of that era before D2 took over the world. so the pacing and speed is all based around slow movement.

also, which build did you play? perhaps the issues were resolved when i fixed some save/load issues this morning.

thanks again for the feedback and i hope the level issues didn't detract too much from the experience! it's clear that this build probably needed more time in the oven, the next one will be more stable i swear

As for Try Again, the minimap was wiped and my spells were not there (I'm not sure about other stuff, I didn't check), so I assume it was like a new game.

The build was from yesterday morning.

Diablo 2 is one of the very few games where I don't mind starting in a hub area - usually I prefer a good gameplay kick off instead of overwhelming amount of NPCs. I need to think about it some more.
