Overview
The Ground Gives Way is a short, highly varying roguelike with lots of content. It is announced to be released in May 2014.
Main features:
- Characters will be very different from game to game since progress depends on what you happen to find.
- Progress is made through equipment, items and paid training rather than experience points.
- Hundreds of items, monsters, services, traps and features of different rarity that will make each game different from the last. No winner will look the same in TGGW.
- Rapidly increasing difficulty, there is no time to be bored.
- There is no grinding because there are no experience points or character levels. Also, there is no hit point regeneration, so no tedious waiting.
- TGGW has a console-game like interface. No keys or commands to remember. Game play is still smooth and quick.
- Very short game time. The game could be completed within an hour. However, the difficulty increases very fast.
- Small levels, few levels, auto-running, a map system and a portal system makes quick and easy access through the dungeon.
- Interesting equipment choices where most items have pros and cons, very few trivial choices.
- Very simple to understand combat system.
