Resumen de la comunidad

Texto original · InglésA free, open-source (with paid Steam/GOG builds) tactical turn-based fantasy roguelike RPG by Netcore Games (Nicolas 'DarkGod' Casalini) with a huge roster of races and classes, cooldown-based talent trees and optional permadeath.

Texto original · InglésPlayers regard it as one of the deepest and most replayable roguelikes available: Steam sits at Very Positive (about 94% of roughly 7,500 reviews) and GOG at 4.5/5, and Wikipedia reports the wider community rating it very highly. Metacritic is thinner and cooler: the critic score is not yet formed (only 2 reviews, 100 from USgamer and 80 from GameGrin) and user score is 7.3 from 71 ratings, with about 21% negative. Critics and fans alike praise class design, build variety and the forgiving life/difficulty options, while detractors cite a steep learning curve, UI-heavy play, balance spikes, long runs and instability on some setups. It is not early access; core content is complete (three expansions through 2018, version 1.7.6, seasonal events such as Pikataclysm in 2025), but Steam reviewers describe balance and bugs as untouched for years and some keep asking for the long-promised Lost Land content. A late-2025 YouTube video sparked a wave of new and returning players.

Lo que elogian los jugadores

  • Texto original · InglésClass and race design: dozens of classes (10 races, 27 classes per GOG listing) with distinct mechanics, e.g. time-controlling archers, psionics dual-wielding with mind and hands, slime mages, and well-liked necromancers
  • Texto original · InglésEnormous build variety and synergy space, so two runs rarely play the same; many reviewers have 500 to 1,500 hours in it
  • Texto original · InglésTactical cooldown-and-resource combat that sits between slow classic roguelike and action RPG, and enemies use the same classes and rules as the player
  • Texto original · InglésLoot with unique effects plus a meta-progression of unlockable classes, races, arena and endless dungeon modes
  • Texto original · InglésFlexible difficulty and lives: multiple difficulty levels, roguelike permadeath, or extra lives/unlimited save options, so both casual and hardcore players are served
  • Texto original · InglésPassion-project feel: free official version, strong QoL features like auto-explore, autotravel and item transmogrification, modding via Lua addons, and an active community
  • Texto original · InglésSurprisingly good lore and writing for the genre, plus about 1,800 achievements that reward unconventional play
  • Texto original · InglésCheap: Steam price around $3.49 and a free official download, making it very high value

Lo que critican los jugadores

  • Texto original · InglésDated, minimal graphics and animation; some tilesets are confusing on dense vegetation maps, and music and sound are described as repetitive
  • Texto original · InglésSteep learning curve and a cluttered, unintuitive UI; the tutorial covers only the basics, so new players struggle with item and talent knowledge
  • Texto original · InglésBalance is uneven: players describe easy cruise-control through trash mobs, then sudden deaths to a unique or boss with a nasty CC or percentage-damage ability they cannot see coming
  • Texto original · InglésStability issues reported on Steam: crashes on zone load, freezes at loading bars, and corrupted or lost saves (only one save slot is kept)
  • Texto original · InglésmacOS build reported as problematic, with screen-setting and cursor-lock issues
  • Texto original · InglésSteam vault (item sharing between characters) is locked if you run non-whitelisted addons, which some see as unnecessary always-online restriction for a single-player game
  • Texto original · InglésUI scaling bugs: increasing font size can make interface elements overlap
  • Texto original · InglésRuns can be very long (reports of 20 to 30 hours per full campaign), which makes failing late very costly

Características distintivas

  • Texto original · InglésHybrid of classic roguelike depth with RPG-style skill trees, cooldowns and resource management rather than pure tile-based bump combat
  • Texto original · InglésLineage from Angband/Zangband/PernAngband/ToME 2 and 3, rewritten in 2009-2012 as an original high-fantasy setting, using its own T-Engine (C plus Lua) with shaders and particle effects
  • Texto original · InglésLives system and difficulty options that let you choose permadeath or a gentler mode, with an achievement-based life economy
  • Texto original · InglésEnemies that play by the same class rules as the player, making their talents readable and sometimes exploitable
  • Texto original · InglésFree official download with donation-unlocked online features (character vault, chat, stats), alongside paid Steam and DRM-free GOG editions with Workshop and addon support
  • Texto original · InglésWon the ASCII Dreams Roguelike of the Year award three years running (2010-2012)

Opiniones divididas

  • Texto original · InglésDepth versus illusion of depth: fans see one of the most intricate tactical systems ever, while critics say the complexity hides an autopilot loop with many weak skills
  • Texto original · InglésRandomness and luck: some call the outcomes a slot machine where unique enemies or boss counters decide runs, others say knowledge and preparation beat luck
  • Texto original · InglésVisuals and audio: many say to look past the graphics, others find them and the music a real barrier
  • Texto original · InglésDifficulty: the roguelike mode is praised as tense, but others call it masochistic, and player-facing options (extra lives, saves) are viewed as either accessible or as diluting the stakes

Repetición y obstáculos

  • Texto original · InglésAuto-explore-and-one-shot loop: many players say most fights require no thought, with real tactics only mattering at bosses or dangerous uniques
  • Texto original · InglésSorting through large amounts of mediocre loot, and optional escort quests that players call frustrating
  • Texto original · InglésVery long runs and heavy knowledge requirements, so dying late or to a counter-build feels punishing
  • Texto original · InglésLosing progress to one-shot deaths from enemies you cannot see or understand, and a perception that luck plays a large part
  • Texto original · InglésAchievements that do not register lower-difficulty versions once a higher-difficulty one is earned, which annoys completionists
  • Texto original · InglésFighting the interface and absorbing huge amounts of ability detail, described by some as the main enemy of the game

Mejoras esperadas

  • Texto original · InglésBetter onboarding: a deeper tutorial and clearer in-game explanations of talents, status effects and why a monster is dangerous
  • Texto original · InglésClearer feedback on enemy threats and deaths, such as easier inspection of abilities and readable danger indicators
  • Texto original · InglésEnemy and boss balancing pass, including fewer hard-counter or percent-damage spikes and more consistent threat throughout a run
  • Texto original · InglésReduce junk loot and the sorting burden, and add shorter run options or mid-run pacing improvements
  • Texto original · InglésStability and save safety fixes (multiple save slots or automatic backups), plus better macOS and UI scaling support
  • Texto original · InglésMore content and new updates: fans keep hoping for the long-awaited Lost Land expansion or at least a dev update, and want more animation and visual polish

Texto original · InglésLaunched on Steam on Dec 12, 2013 via Greenlight after years as a free download (ToME 4 released 2012). Early reception was strong: USgamer called it the pinnacle of the fantasy roguelike in 2013, and it won ASCII Dreams Roguelike of the Year for three consecutive years. Expansions followed: Ashes of Urh'Rok (2014), Embers of Rage (2016) and Forbidden Cults (2018). Steam ownership was estimated at over 150,000 by 2016 (Wikipedia via SteamSpy), although a current SteamSpy range shows 50,000 to 100,000 owners, and a third-party revenue calculator estimates about $1.47M gross and $433K net revenue; these are rough estimates only. Metacritic has no formed critic score because only two reviews exist. OpenCritic has no entry. Current Steam reviews show a surge of new players in autumn 2025 after a popular YouTube video and recurring hopes for the Lost Land expansion; some reviewers complain that balance and bugs have not been touched for nearly a decade. Steam has a handful of mixed/negative reviews about crashes, a macOS build that behaves badly, and the addon-whitelisted vault restriction. Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux; Steam version supports Workshop and trading cards, GOG is DRM-free. WebSearch budget was exhausted during this research, so Reddit and Steam community threads could not be fetched directly; community themes come mainly from the Steam review file, GOG, te4.org, Wikipedia, RogueBasin and Metacritic.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 2 (2024)

Texto original · InglésTales of Maj'Eyal is a classic turn-based, traditional roguelike that plays like a huge RPG with many classes and a great deal to do. He says it is a cult favorite and that he understands why people put hundreds of hours into it. His own first run was overwhelming, and he says it demands real knowledge and dedication. He would not recommend it widely, but for fans of traditional roguelikes he calls it a must-play and says it is phenomenal at what it does. He admits he has not played many hours, and notes he forgot to cover it in his earlier 80-plus-game tier list.

Lo que elogia el creador

  • Texto original · InglésPacked with stuff to do; feels like a unique RPG experience each run
  • Texto original · InglésDeep enough that it would work as a big RPG even without roguelike elements
  • Texto original · InglésMany classes and a lot to uncover
  • Texto original · InglésExtensive tutorial and rewarding once mechanics are learned
  • Texto original · InglésOne of the games he would pick if stuck with only one or two for months
  • Texto original · InglésExecutes the classic traditional roguelike experience very well

Problemas señalados por el creador

  • Texto original · InglésVery steep learning curve; needs a lot of knowledge and dedication
  • Texto original · InglésRandom run starts felt insanely overwhelming, with many enemies, spells and text at once
  • Texto original · InglésWishes the start of a run were more minimalistic, or that such an option was clearly indicated
  • Texto original · InglésNot for everybody, especially people who dislike turn-based games; he would not recommend it to many

Observaciones de diseño

  • Texto original · InglésFunctions as a full RPG experience with roguelike structure layered on top
  • Texto original · InglésCult-favorite status driven by huge depth and replayability across many classes

Opinión actualizada

Texto original · InglésWas left in his earlier big tier list without being covered (forgotten); this is his first proper evaluation after viewer comments. He also mentions he forgot to rate Star of Providence just before placing it.
