Our take on The Sargosian Abyss
The likely sticking point is the resource-management loop: players who prefer combat without tracking a party's supplies may hit a wall as the group explores the dungeon. The optional permadeath setting is another possible hurdle for players who do not want that mode of play.
What is The Sargosian Abyss?
The Sargosian Abyss is a retro fantasy tactical roguelike centered on a party of four adventurers.
Players explore 10 randomly generated dungeon levels filled with monsters and items, collect weapons, armor, and other equipment, and manage party resources. Combat uses a grid and turn-based tactics against dozens of enemy types. Party customization includes over seven classes and more than 30 skills and abilities. Players can choose a difficulty level, including an optional permadeath setting. The party begins with crude weapons after being cast into the abyss as a sacrifice to a goddess of chaos.
