I really do think this is one of the niftier/polished Roguelikes that somehow just don't get mentioned as much as is sensible....maybe this next stage will reverse this trend.
No joke, man. I think MG represents the perfection of the original rogue's single dungeon, no turning back formula. I think I said that in another thread around here? Anyway, it's still true, and it's a shame that the game hasn't gotten more publicity.
