>>63377751oh man i was actually looking at that when i was going on a dungeon crawling binge a few months ago, but i ended up settling for emulating Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land
>>63377879and on the topic of Elona's learning curve once you kinda get used to the daunting controls it's not so bad, though I had a little window with the list of controls in case i needed to consult them. the game doesn't explain things very well so i've had to look them up on the wiki, but so far i've settled into a comfortable gameplay loop
what i'm pretty hyped for is Elin, which is made by the same dude who worked on Elona and has more of a 2.5d isometric perspective; it's supposed to be set 30 years before Elona and due for a release on Steam soon
