This one is definitely a cut above the rest of the megadrive entries for me. It goes for an unconventional genre for the platform, a genre which I happen to love, and oozes atmosphere in the process. I love the little touches like showing the dice rolls graphically… great job! Also the map was very much appreciated, otherwise it would be easy to get lost in the dungeons. In fact the combination of the top-down rogue/nethack map view with the later 3D dungeon crawler style is very interesting; kindof like playing two games in one.

Thank you very much for this.
Actually Dungeon Crawlers and Roguelikes are more alike than not as they have a common ancestor, the DnD.
Rogue is closer to the original DnD cause of age. But in the end, I believe it can be said that it is a Dungeon Crawler without the party.
Dreamforge's Dungeon Hack (1993) is a very early example of a Dungeon Crawler that can be considered and a Roguelike with the biggest difference in that it is a pseudo real-time.
Thank you once again.
