Being a huge Doom fan and after watching Mr. Icarus stream this I'd say it's right up my alley, except for the fact that I suck so much at Roguelikes that I've pretty much given up on every one I've brought. On the scale of "I almost had it that time, I want to try again" to "Banging my head against the wall" what's the difficulty on this?

I see this is on sale, but every Roguelike I've ever played I eventually get frustrated at losing all the time and drop them. Doesn't matter which genre or type.

Also I was wondering why it's being bundled on Steam with Postal: Brain Damaged until my brother pointed out that it's the same devs. Quite a departure.

I picked this up on sale and I'm slowly improving (I got to Europa for the first time after like 9 or 10 attempts), but one of the complaints I have is that the game tends to throw way too much at you all at once. My biggest cause of death thus far has been getting whittled down by a ridiculous conga line of enemies while I either try to fall back or, if I'm caught in an open space, try to stand my ground. This is honestly my last attempts at Roguelikes because every other one I've played, from a large range of genres and subgenres, I wind up getting frustrated when the game inevitably decides it's time for me to die. I mean I'm digging this so far and I hope I can stick with it.

One thing that IS in the instructions but you probably missed anyway because everyone does is that if you use a multitool from inventory, it will repair your armor.

. . . Seriously? I kinda glossed over that.

Thanks for the advice. Things make more sense now. I've been sticking to the "main" path as much as possible until I get more experience. Pretty much because I learned the hard way that deviating earns me a face-caving.
