Oh wow somehow I had the date mixed around and thought it came out on 2/26 so this is a pleasant surprise

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys the Mystery Dungeon series, or any other game in its genre*, but has been hoping for an open world game. There are a lot of open world games in that genre on PC, but this is the first I’ve ever seen make its way to a console. It’s also a crazy in-depth game where you can grow extra limbs, slice off your face, regenerate your face, modify a helmet to have an extra face slot on its back, equip two of those helmets on your two heads, and then wear four of your own face on your face. You can also become a door, as shown in this video, but the face thing is a bit more viable.
(*Note: The genre is called Roguelike, but people keep using that name to refer to something completely different, and the thing that people keep calling by that name doesn’t apply to this game. Even permadeath is entirely optional, and there’s no semi-permadeath with meta-progression. Just play it like an RPG, whose gameplay is the same as Rogue.)
(Edit: But also, be prepared to reload your last save if you ever get hit by an enemy called “[Stat] Sap” or get a bad result from a Gamma Moth’s mutation ray. Those are basically irreversible penalties that are designed for people playing permadeath, and I’ve asked the devs to change how they work in the non-permadeath mode. But you’ll get killed more often than you get hit with those penalties, so needing to reload a save isn’t the real issue, only the risk of accidentally saving because you didn’t know the penalty was permanent.)

How do you properly pronounce Qud and what unit is a cave of qud? More than a root cellar of Qud less than a cavern of Qud?

Just picked this up. Hopefully all the text is readable as there’s a lot of it.

Still waiting for reviews on how it runs on switch 2 before picking it up

Can anyone who’s picked this up provide any updates on how it runs? I’d be getting it on switch 2 but obviously anecdotes for either console will be valuable

I’ll buy it immediately when they release Switch 2 version with mouse mode.

I need to give this game another few shots but fair warning that this game can feel a bit inscrutable ala Dwarf Fortress in terms of presentation and gameplay mechanics. There’s a ton under the hood and the writing is fantastic so as long as you like the vibes of a weird ass techno post-futurist landscape you will probably have a good time if you’re patient.
