About This Game "Come into my dungeon, and show me your strength... I will crush your sword and bones in return. Many so-called heroes tried to plunder my treasures and their skulls are now part of my impressive collection... Run away while there’s still time!"VERLIES II is a ruthless dungeon crawler game. The player embodies a hero he can select from eight brave adventurers willing to enter a mysterious dungeon filled with ancient forgotten treasures.

The dev seriously needs to re-think how certain aspects of the game should work. As for being a difficult game, I can live with that,\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665I grew up playing Wizardry I on the Apple IIe and then the PC, talk about unforgiving and difficult? I beat that game multiple times and it was very difficult compared to today\u2019s games.The problem with Verlies II is NOT it's gameplay difficulty, but the ridiculous and annoying controls, plus highly illogical rules that limit the player. Let me explain.1. Using the 'F' key to move forward instead of the standard 'W' key as in most games, you know the WASD control.When you are in the dungeon, you face one of four possible directions just like in most other games of this type, yet to move forward you HAVE to focus your cursor over the opening and then press F and not W, that is ridiculous! Now, saying that... IF the opening in front of the hero had something like a shut, or locked door, then placing the cursor over it, and pressing 'F' to unlock (if you have a key), or to turn the knob to open a door would be understandable, but so far in the time I played, all the openings are simple black passages to simulate the darkness leading into the next chamber. Since the openings are unobstructed and as easy as walking from one room in your house to the next via an arch or opening, a simple press of the 'W' key to move forward would suffice. Also, if perhaps a single direction had more than a single exit, or path\/door then placing the cursor over the proper door, or opening you wish to exit through makes sense, but in all the time I've played I've only seen a single opening\/path in any one direction. Again a simple press of 'W' would suffice.2. Exiting the DungeonWhen you enter the dungeon, you CAN NOT simply turn around and exit, even though when you do turn around, you see the cavern exit and the forest (trees, grass, etc..) on the other side of the exit. Essentially, there is nothing to keep you from simply turning around and walking out, especially if you've wandered around a bit and took a beating and need to get back to town for supplies or to heal. When you try to leave you get some BS excuse that you have too much pride to leave the dungeon. COME ON! If you are really set on such a ridiculous rule (not allowing the hero to exit via the opening they just entered from, use a little imagination and get creative. For example... "You enter the dungeon and look about the first chamber. As you are examining the chamber you hear a deep, rumble... the room begins to shake and then a loud crash... then darkness! You spin around to see the entrance to the dungeon\/cave has caved in and there is no amount of digging that would allow you to leave this place from whence you came! Tis up to thee hero to find another means of escaping this dunjon!" Wala, instant logical explanation and more realistic method for keeping a player from leaving the dunjon whenever he, or she wishes to.3. No control customization!How many games have you played where they use a modified WASD control scheme where Q and E actually turn you left, or right? Well, in this game, the 'E' key = drink a health potion. Do you know how many times I've been in the dunjon and tried to turn and my sub-conscious simply hit the 'E' key because two of the other games I play use the 'E' key to turn right? Well, it's safe to say I've wasted countless potions by accidentally hitting E instead of D to turn right. This can be simply remedied by allowing the user to customize their movement and function keys.There are a few other issues that irk me... Here is one more...4. Using a shield to block.This game's combat is not turn based, but real time. The monster moves from left to right, and vice versa all the time you must position your cursor over the creature before swinging your weapon or you'll end up missing the target. Combat is really a timing game because you need to see how many strikes you can get in before you must press the other mouse button to raise your shield and defend the monster's attack. This so far is fine and can be quite enjoyable, but there is a problem in that even using the shield properly doesn't negate the damage taken by the monsters attack. It may lessen it, but if you are low on health, have no more health potions, and a simple hit or two is going to kill you, then you might as well restart because there is NOTHING you can do to survive the next encounter, and you aren;t going to move more than a room or two before that next encounter happens. Remember as per issue #2 above, you also can't turn around and head back to town and rest, heal, or stock up on supplies, so once you are in the situation just mentioned, your game is OVER even though you aren't quite dead yet. The next fight and a single hit or two regardless of whether blocked or not, ends up killing you. A better way to have implemented the shield would be one of the following...A) Have the monsters movement and strike timing alternate between 1 or 2 speeds during a battle, so you can't simply get used to a creatures timing and then strike\/block without danger of harm. With this method, you can have a shield block all damage from a strike that is successfully blocked with the shield. The slight randomness to a monster's attack pattern can trip up a player who may miss a block with the shield and thus the monster makes a hit that realistically kills the hero. That would be acceptable.B) Have the shield only able to block a certain amount of strikes before the hero MUST repair it himself in the dunjon, or purchase a replacement shield to replace the now broken one. For this to work, the dev needs to either a) allow the hero to repair a shield with materials found in the dungeon, or b) Allow the hero the option of exiting the dunjon when he needs to go to town to have the smith repair or sell the hero a new shield.Well, there are a few other things not worth mentioning because they will make this already long review even worse. I have requested a REFUND and will not purchase this game until some changes are made. I only hope the dev listens to this review and similar complaints in the forums and makes the right choices. I know I would have no problem returning to Verlies II, if these issues are remedied. As it is i would NOT recommend this game to anyone.. PRO TIP: The crosshair of the mouse is where you are attacking. If it's not on the enemy when you attack, you will miss! It's a very simplistic game but it's fun. I look forward to spending some time with it.I hope there is a Verlies 3.. VERLIES II is a hardcore dungeon crawler with a very interesting art style and an addictive combat system. You must attack, defend, use skills and potions at the right time, as each enemy has its own attack timing, and mastering this is very important to survive. If you make any mistake, it's almost a certain death! Having a good build is also very important, so keep it in mind when leveling up and choose the right skills.This game is very challenging: if you die, it's over, you lose all your gold, XP, skills and items, and you'll have to start over again, in a new randomly generated dungeon. Also, there are some puzzles that you must solve to progress further in the dungeon. If you like challenging games, VERLIES II is very recommended!Review em Portugu\u00easVERLIES II \u00e9 um dungeon crawler hardcore com um estilo art\u00edstico bem interessante e um sistema de combate viciante.

Want to see gameplay before you buy?https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j9jw2zAdTlUAt this point I think this game has some potential but I was not able to achieve a rewarding experience in my many attempts at it. Each attempt was met with the same death, in the same room no matter how many different and "random" things happened in the dungeon. I'm sure there are people who get some enjoyment out of the difficulty of the game and the fact that it's pretty much based on your own personal luck stat.I feel like they could make some small changes\/improvements and it would be a much better game.. The idea is cool but there is a lot of room for improvement. I stand by my opinion and think the game is too RNG. Even if you block every attack and maximize your damage, you can still get unlucky and only be able to get so far. This game needs a way to replay previous areas to farm gold, instead we get a dice game which is very slow and frustrating.I will edit this review if things change. Game has potential.. Edit: now that a update has bring a option to remove the boring finding of the "secrets" after every boss fight i can say that it is a hard, but good dungeon crawler.And the secret classes are fun to play (if you have them).Hard, but this is good. You will die a lot till you know the enemies and you need luck with the items you get.Outdated:But i can\u00b4t recommened this game, because it is a tedous "hover the mouse over every bit of the walls, the ground and the dark edges to find a switch or a pickaxe or a part of a pickaxe to advance the level after beating the boss.The levels are big later and you will search every pixel to advance to the next level.Without this the game is good, but with this the game is playing and fighting 10 minutes and then boring searching for douple or triple of this time. Every dungeon level!You even have to leave the dungeon (with a penality from -200 XP, that is a lot) to advance sometimes further, because you must talk to a NPC in town to get a item. Nobody told you this, i was stuck long time because i thought "hmm, if i go to town i loose XP, so this could not be the intention of the maker of this game.But it is, the maker is a real sadist and he have made many many jokes to confuse and anger the players.Edit: After longer playing and understand the game more and more it gets better and easier, but not to easy. If you knew all hidden object it make fun to, but i can\u00b4t recommend it really, because it is much work till you have fun with it. A good tutorial or better guidance what to do at each level would make it good, finding the (sometimes real unlogical) ways to leave a level after beating the boss is really really a bad design choice.. The idea is cool but there is a lot of room for improvement. I stand by my opinion and think the game is too RNG. Even if you block every attack and maximize your damage, you can still get unlucky and only be able to get so far. This game needs a way to replay previous areas to farm gold, instead we get a dice game which is very slow and frustrating.I will edit this review if things change. Game has potential.. This was close to being a good game, but is destroyed by the imbalance. It's exceedingly difficult to get started - the rewards for the risk are not worth it. A few simple changes would fix this - the hero goes to a different dungeon with each attempt, and if he leaves before killing the boss, that dungeon is over. You should never come back from a successful run in worse shape than you started. Give the player a chance to rest, recover, and try again on a new dungeon without the constantly advancing difficulty,. This game feels grindy in a sense. By grindy I mean you have to grind the dice game in the Inn for money so you can buy better gear and lots of health potions. There's no skill to that. If you were to purely rely on what the game gives you by chance you would have none to survive. There's seems to be very little skill involved in battles as well. Every so often an enemy attacks at a certain increment of speed and you block it, in between the attacks you swing your sword. If you decide you have to leave the dungeon for whatever means the game punishes you for leaving by costing you experience. If you fall behind too far in experience you will be out scaled by the monsters in the dungeon. After killing bosses on a dungeon floor you have to play an annoying pixel hunting minigame of find the gem or pickaxe or stone in a wall to continue. This really adds nothing to the game besides nuisance. The game literally shows you what room a gem is in and you will be moving your cursor around trying to find it even though it should be in plain view. If you die the game doesn't take you to the main menu. It literally restarts the game alt tabbing you to windows in the process. I just can't recommend this to anyone at the moment.
