It's actually pretty fun.

The imbude system is pretty sweet, and the dungeon creeping style is done well. I like the "deep ass dungeon" style of dungeon crawling.

There are some major things that need to be addressed, though, one of them being the 2nd option of reviving: Costs 10% of your gold and transports you to a random nearby level. You can have little gold on you and use this method to teleport down in the dungeon easily. You can also use it for money when you start a new character. Go deep into the dungeon and collect very expensive items from chests, and then use a town portal spell and sell your ph4t l3wt before actually starting the game.

I guess you can just choose not to exploit it, but why would you do that?

What is it they say about silence being golden?
