Depths of Peril Review

The folks at Bytten have put together a glowing review of Soldak Entertainment’s Depths of Peril, giving the indie RPG/strategy hybrid an overall score of 92%.

I’m out of space and have only scratched the surface of a gaming experience that is as absorbing as any that I have had this year including the big budget commercial titles. I didn’t even touch on the features like the dynamic and persistent questing system where the players actions affect the world state. I love the little features like finding maps that lead to hidden treasure troves, deadly traps (not wimpy ones like Diablo had), covenant guard hire, gambling, cool random events and never knowing exactly what’s up ahead. Oh, and then there’s the brilliant in-game fiction that can be collected in tomes found around the world and with certain unique items (a distraction that could keep you going for hours), and also a clever skill system for character development that I’ve yet to see in any other RPG that I’ve played. All this for $30? Go buy the game already!
