It's been two years and devs have not added any of the things they said they were going to add to the game like sounds, changing the player sprite depending on your armour and weapon or removing the "popout menus" when you find something on the ground. Game has major, major interface problems and is user unfriendly. Devs promised things and then didn't deliver. Game has been left to rot on steam for years. I regret buying it for full price at launch to support it.original review:---------------------------------------------------------------At first I had a negative review but I changed it to positive because I have started to have a lot of fun with the game. There are problems with it though:1. no sound2. sprites are not too good and less readable I think than ASCII3. MAJOR every time you are at the start of your turn on a square with an object on it the game brings up a menu to make you select between ignoring the object or picking it up, reading it etc. depending on what it is. You can just move or take an action rather than have to actually press the button to ignore the object but it's still annoying.4. You get HP back when resting or moving but there's no rest until healed button. Instead the closest you have is to do 99. which is 9 then 9 then 5 on numeric keypad which rests you for 99 turns. You will have to do this several times to get your hp back though and it takes AGES.5. There seems to be no fast travel or auto travel of any kind, it's just you and the movement keys, held down if you want to risk it.There is a version of the game called Nlarn which is free. It runs in the console and has ASCII graphics but in most ways is more usable than this version.I'm still leaving a positive review though because I am having fun playing this version and I'm trying to trust the developers to iron out the problems.The free version at http:\/\/nlarn.sourceforge.net\/http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/nlarn\/files\/nlarn\/0.7.2\/Screenshot in town http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/CP7zC8W.pngScreenshot on level 1 of dungeon http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wNpRDDl.png. Really fun roguelike and quick to get into.I do wish it had an ascii mode.. Ugggh...I love, love, love the original Larn, and so very much wanted to like this version... but this game isn't really good. It's missing useful features from the old versions and the stuff that's been added doesn't make the game any better. In fact, the game omits certain things that make the original game play better (showing what floor tiles you've seen, being able to unwield a weapon, etc.)(As an aside, there's also the concern that this game uses code from the original, which cannot be used in a commercial project. It's probably a full-blown rewrite, but it plays distressingly similar to the original. Also, I don't know what the legal (or ethical) situation is in using nearly the same name as the original without permission of the original author or his family...)Seriously, if you really want to play a Larn (and you should, they are great introductory-level roguelikes with some unique features), or if you have nostalgia for the original, just play the old DOS version, find a modern source port, or play the browser-based one. The addition of mediocre graphics doesn't justify spending money on this.. Sorry, this game, even at five bucks, is too rich for my blood.I get it -- it's a nostalgic look at the past. Here's the thing:When I was a kid, my first computer was a TRS-80. Many people reading this might not know about the TRS-80 so let me describe it.The year was 1978. The TRS-80 was black and white, had the type of monitor that -- well, it was the stone age of computers, if that makes sense. The memory size? 4k. That's K. Four-thousand bytes. That's it. You could upgrade to the TRS-80 Level II and this took you to a memory size of 16k.What's that, you ask? How did programs get loaded into the memory? Floppy disk? LOL, seriously, Silly Rabbit. There were tape drives. That's right, cassette tapes. And a game like "Asylum" could take fifteen to twenty minutes to load. And if the volume was too high on the cassette player? NO GAME FOR YOU, RELOAD. If the tape was old and the tape player kicked off in the middle of loading? There were these flashing asterisks in the upper right corner of the screen and if there was an **E* for error -- time to load it again. NO GAME FOR YOU, RELOAD.One of the first games I had (and I loved) was Dancing Demon. Check it out here:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YNT7nVOugTMAnother of my favorite games? The Temple of Apshai. WHich you can see here:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HiMtY5BxdM0So let me explain -- the actual descriptions of a the rooms, you had to look them up in a manual. That's right, memory was so precious that the programmers couldn't even put the descriptions of the rooms in the programming.Finally, check out another one of my favorites --Scarfman. I got this for Christmas in 1980:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uIUxmqe3jA4Okay, so this gives you a little background about XLarn.How did computer games come about? Basically, there were bored graduate students who needed a break from keying in punch cards into the mainframe. What's a punch card? Basically, each card was a line of code. You stacked them all together, perhaps two or three hundred cards, and you would stack them in a reader that would load them, one after the other, into the computer. Check it out here:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=se0F1bLfFKYOkay, so what's the point?The point is that no matter how nostalgic you feel about something, don't let the feeling separate you from your money. In case you didn't know, the word nostalgia includes the Greek root for "pain" -- alg.Why did I want to experience a game like this? This game proves that if you take a forty year-old game which essentially was made by bored graduate students to see them through the wee hours of the morning -- well, you can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.No matter how nostalgic you might feel about those days and these days, don't spend your money. $5 is way way WAY too much to pay for something that people that was cool before there were video arcades. There have to be so free versions somewhere on the web. And if there aren't -- well, you don't need it that bad anyway.One of the reasons that people liked games as they evolved and as the computers changed to meet the wants of the public -- there began to be this concept of "Saving" progress. People now talk about these kinds of adventures being rogue-like. If this is what you could classify this as, then all I have to say is that rogue-like adventures p*ss me the f*ck off. And the more suspicious I get that any modern developer creates a game as rogue-like to distract the gamer from a lack of depth and content.What's a way to keep people playing? Well, you could basically provide them with a sh*t-ton of stuff to do. Or you could have death be permanent and make the gamer start over. Which is cheaper to make?The little boy in me misses the days of "Dancing Demon" and "Crush, Crumble, and Chomp". But the adult in me, you would think, would be smart enough to understand that, just as Thomas Wolfe wrote, you can't go home again.Well, here's the sad fact -- we're all getting older and marking time waiting for that ultimate moment that all mortals must face. We're getting older and fatter. And no matter how much you want it, you can't get that feeling back, even for $5.. Once you come to grips with the quirky interface and get a read on the sprites there is a lot of fun to be had here. This is a simpler roguelike from a time when the conventions of the genre were less defined and more flexible. So without complex religions, race and character selections, crafting or any of the other modern mechanics what makes this one worth returning to or picking up for the first time? The main thing is the quest is time sensitive. You have 300 Mobuls (a Mobul is 100 turns) to retrieve a specific magic potion to save your daughter's life. And if you have looked at the screenshots, you'll see that there are a lot of mazes. This emphasises dungeon navigation as a mechanic, getting lost is a waste of precious time instead of an inconvenience. Also while there are no classes you are free to develop your character as you like, building combat skills right beside magic and priestly skills. And even though there isn't a complex religious system, religion is a factor. You will find shrines you can pray at or desecrate, the favor of the god(s) is important even if it's a simpler affair than current roguelike mechanics provide. It's not DCSS but then we wouldn't have games like DCSS without games like this in the first place.Finally I'll close this out with the game's real hook for me. This is Diablo style dungeon crawling, complete with fireball slinging warriors weilding holy artifacts against hordes of demons and an overworld village where you can pile your loot to the sky. I'm pretty sure this is one of "those Unix games" Brevik has referenced as a core inspiration for Diablo. It's also dripping in that funky 80s RPG geek charm. Return to a simpler time. Put on your favorite Rush album, crack open a Jolt Cola and stay up all night!
