Main features:

The ultimate retro role-playing simulation - Free!
Customizable players, characters, equipment and even game room.
Seriously deep character creation: Make that Hipster Elf Paladin and pull it off!
More contemporary geeky jokes than you can stuff in a CAVE! Gotta catch them all!
Lots of monsters to slaughter and loot for that sweet, sweet equipment
A crafting system so powerful it can turn even the dullest stones into brilliant charms

Huge amount of locations, side-quests, dynamic dungeons… and more!
Need even tougher challenges? Prove your worth in the New Game Plus mode
