He brings up two good points. Dark magenta and darker blue text against a black background is not the easiest thing to read in the world, and inventory management is still, according to some of the notes I've read, a work in progress. Something should simply be done about the text. But for the inventory stuff, you'll realize after a few frustrating minutes of trying to stow a gold piece that the system is actually very innovative. Where you put your items (belt, shoulder, free hand, pack) has everything to do with how quickly your character can get to them when he needs them. When the ice elemental is charging at you, you'll be happy that your wand of fire is close at hand. It's like being a gunslinger! Don’t be mean to reverend. He brings up two good points.

Making chars should not take you 30 mins. :P Coins in the 'In the air' spot -> 's' to stow em into yer backpack (may need a TAB in advance to switch from chest to backpack). Maybe roguelikes aren't for you. >;P There’s only “too few options”. ;) Font size can be changed in the options (needs a corresponding resolution for the needed 80×50 characters or whatever exactly it is, though).

Not just multiple stirges, but a plague. Amazing. For example: animal companion list for druids includes the option for a plague of stirges. Not just multiple stirges, but a plague. Amazing.

I'm bumping into minor to major bugs left and right and I might complain about a few aspects of the interface, but most of what I'm noticing is a game that seems destined to dominate the genre. From variance in dungeon structure and character creation to the unusual pantheon of gods, Incursion excels beyond what is expected of roguelikes, both in scope and detail.

I didn't get very far, spending a ton of time on the character only to be killed by the first encounter I had. I will try again later, but each turn feels like it takes 30 seconds to digest info wise. Still learning, but seems like an absolutely great start, and I agree that if this roguelike continues as thus, it will become another champion!
