I bounced off of ToME 4 and some of the older roguelike titles because their clunky, outdated UIs made it hard for me to stay engaged. This one, though, hits the sweet spot. It keeps that classic roguelike depth while feeling modern and approachable enough for me to actually enjoy. The interface doesn’t get in the way of the gameplay, which makes a huge difference. Instead of fighting the controls or the menus, I can just dive into the game itself. It feels like the devs respected the traditions of the genre but also recognized what needed updating to keep it fun and playable today. That balance of old-school challenge with modern accessibility is what really makes it click for me.
