Hey everyone, I've honestly been enjoying Dungeons of Dredmor more than any of my other Steam-related games at the moment. It just goes to show you that million-dollar marketing campaigns and flashy graphics don't mean as much as it used to for me. I've recently fallen back in love with the rogue-like genre because of this gem. To show my appreciation, I wrote a quick review for it on a blog I co-write on called "Red Barrels!" I'm really sorry if this violates any forum rules, I just wanted to let the wonderful folks at Gaslamp Games know that I'm working on spreading the good word!

I am sure they are happy with this. Your point on the graphics... are... incorrect in my point of view. Alright they are not 1080p graphics, but they are amazing. A game isn't about the graphics but about the STYLE of the ART that is used. Look at games like, Braid, Limbo, Terraria, Super Meat Boy and that's just naming a few, that use simple, but beautiful graphics which suit the game perfectly. Anyway, you did a nice review!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I think that my comment about the graphics was a little unclear. I was trying to speak from the point of view of a person who maybe would be new to the genre and think that the graphics are dated, when in reality they are quite contemporary for a rogue-like. I appreciate the criticism, I actually changed up the paragraph a little to make it more clear. By the way, I am IN LOVE with Terraria and Super Meat Boy; I meant no harm to pixel graphics or retro art styles : )
