Synthèse des discussions
Texte original · AnglaisA deeply systemic, turn-based science-fantasy sandbox roguelike/RPG from Freehold Games (published by Kitfox), set in a strange post-apocalyptic world with mutations, cybernetics, factions and a handcrafted main quest inside a procedurally generated map.
Texte original · AnglaisCaves of Qud is received as a landmark of the genre: Steam shows Overwhelmingly Positive (about 95% of roughly 12.7k reviews), Metacritic is 91 from 8 critics, and OpenCritic has a top critic average of 90 with 90% recommending. It left early access on 5 Dec 2024 (Kitfox became publisher in 2023) after roughly nine years of weekly updates, and adds a new graphical UI, the final stretch of the main quest, and later a Switch port (Feb 2026). It won the 2025 IGF Excellence in Narrative award and the 2025 Hugo for Best Game or Interactive Work. Praise centres on writing, worldbuilding and freedom of build and play; the recurring complaints are a steep learning curve, unclear interface and information, unfair-feeling deaths and debuffs, and the claim that its 'depth' is more build variety than true simulation. Players who bounce off it tend to bounce hard.
Ce que les joueurs apprécient
- Texte original · AnglaisWorldbuilding and prose: item, place and creature descriptions are poetic and strange, with heavy Gene Wolfe (Book of the New Sun) flavour, and make the world feel ancient and mysterious
- Texte original · AnglaisHuge build variety: over a hundred mutations and cybernetics, true-kin vs mutant castes, and many playstyles (psychic, tinker, sniper, multi-armed brawler, etc.)
- Texte original · AnglaisEmergent, absurd stories: befriending or recruiting hostile creatures, turning into odd things, making a serial killer a companion, all through interacting systems
- Texte original · AnglaisEverything can be talked to and belongs to a faction, so reputation and relationships feel consequential and the world feels inhabited
- Texte original · AnglaisHandcrafted main quest and lore woven into a procedurally generated map, plus nearly a million explorable maps
- Texte original · AnglaisDistinctive pixel-art and eerie soundtrack identity; the 1.0 graphical UI and controller support (runs well on Steam Deck) improved accessibility
- Texte original · AnglaisTons of content and replay value, with players logging hundreds of hours; classic vs roleplay (save-friendly) modes and Steam Workshop mods
- Texte original · AnglaisCritics call it a genre-defining achievement in roleplaying freedom and flexibility
Ce que les joueurs critiquent
- Texte original · AnglaisSteep, vertical learning curve: barebones tutorial, many systems and keys to learn, and players often need the wiki to progress
- Texte original · AnglaisUI/UX legibility problems: low-contrast tiles, hard to tell actors from items, message-log spam, fluid splatter obscuring the map, clunky keybind and settings menus and a weak mouse interface
- Texte original · AnglaisDeaths can feel unfair or opaque: one-shots from off-screen enemies, unreliable threat information, rest not interrupting when attacked, autoexplore walking into harm
- Texte original · AnglaisCrippling permanent and temporary debuffs (diseases, fungal infections, limb loss) that the game explains poorly, often pushing players to reload saves
- Texte original · AnglaisProcedural generation sometimes yields incoherent or blocked spaces, enclosed rooms, teleport-plant traps, and a 'getting lost' overland mechanic some find punishing
- Texte original · AnglaisFaction reputation rules can produce arbitrary-feeling penalties, such as killing a hostile legendary creature angering a friendly town
- Texte original · AnglaisSome critics of the 'depth' hype say NPCs are flavour-text cardboard cutouts and the simulation is shallower than Dwarf Fortress-style comparisons suggest
- Texte original · AnglaisProse can turn word-salad or over-pretentious to some readers and hinder clarity of ability descriptions
Caractéristiques distinctives
- Texte original · AnglaisA science-fantasy post-apocalypse setting with a literary, Wolfe-inspired voice rather than generic fantasy or dungeon-crawl tropes
- Texte original · AnglaisDeep simulation sandbox rules: nearly any object or creature can be interacted with, recruited, dismantled, or converted (memed 'you can become a chair')
- Texte original · AnglaisMutations plus cybernetics character creation with true-kin and mutant paths, unmatched in breadth among traditional roguelikes
- Texte original · AnglaisProcedurally generated world history and sultan legends that feed into a fixed main story
- Texte original · AnglaisFaction and reputation system that governs who is hostile or friendly across the entire map
- Texte original · AnglaisClassic (permadeath) and roleplay (saveable) modes letting one game serve both hardcore and story-focused players
Points qui divisent
- Texte original · AnglaisWhether 'depth' means systemic simulation (critics say it is mostly build variety and scripted weirdness) or rich, interconnected worldbuilding (fans say it is unmatched)
- Texte original · AnglaisDifficulty and permadeath: loved as consequential and funny by fans, called opaque and hostile by detractors, with many preferring the roleplay mode
- Texte original · AnglaisWriting style: hailed as the best prose in games by some, labelled pretentious or word-salad by others
- Texte original · AnglaisGraphics and UI: the minimalist pixel look is praised as distinctive, but readability complaints are common even among positive reviewers
Répétition et contraintes
- Texte original · AnglaisReputation grinding and hunting random legendaries or villages to befriend or slay is described as un-fun but effectively required for endgame survivability
- Texte original · AnglaisCloning shopkeepers and scouring for loot is called boring intended cheese in one long-time player's review
- Texte original · AnglaisAutoexplore and bumping weak enemies early, then slogging across big empty overland regions, feels repetitive to some
- Texte original · AnglaisDealing with diseases and permanent injuries by reloading or consulting the wiki
- Texte original · AnglaisCombat that some say becomes shallow or boring after the first 10-15 hours, plus an extremely long time investment before the game clicks
Améliorations espérées
- Texte original · AnglaisBetter onboarding: fuller tutorial, in-game explanations of debuffs, diseases and how to cure them, and labelled controls
- Texte original · AnglaisImprove visual clarity: contrast, distinguishing items and merchants, reducing message spam and fluid clutter, more accurate ability descriptions and damage numbers
- Texte original · AnglaisBetter keybinding and settings UX and more capable mouse support (comparison made to Tales of Maj'Eyal)
- Texte original · AnglaisImprove map generation validation so interiors connect and the player is not trapped, and reduce movement- and sight-blocking clutter
- Texte original · AnglaisRebalance character options: tinker and some mutations or classes seen as weak, psychic powers as strong, true-kin vs mutant imbalance and the ease of breaking the game late
- Texte original · AnglaisMake the faction reputation system and legendary-creature rules more coherent and less grind-dependent, and add more variety to the main quest across runs
Texte original · AnglaisDevelopment began in 2007, a public beta came in 2010, and Steam early access in 2015 with consistent weekly updates for about nine years. Early access reviewers praised depth but found the interface confusing; Kitfox Games became publisher in July 2023 and the 1.0 release on 5 Dec 2024 added a new fully graphical UI and the last leg of the main quest, then drew universal acclaim (Metacritic 91). A Nintendo Switch port followed on 16 Feb 2026 (Nintendo Life 8/10). Awards: 2025 IGF Excellence in Narrative, 2025 Hugo for Best Game or Interactive Work; nominated for 2025 Golden Joysticks Best Indie Game and a D.I.C.E. Strategy/Simulation nomination. Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux (Steam, GOG), Switch; Steam price $29.99 with Workshop mod support (GOG reviewers note mod restrictions vs Steam). Steam recent reviews (~94% positive over 30 days) remain strong as of late Sep 2026. Steam-side estimates (SteamSpy owners 200k-500k; steam-revenue-calculator gross about $12.1M, net to developer about $3.6M) are rough Boxleiter-style estimates, not audited. Note: the WebSearch budget was exhausted in this session, so no Reddit threads were read directly (Reddit and Eurogamer fetches were blocked); community detail comes from 18 negative and top positive Steam reviews plus Metacritic, OpenCritic, Wikipedia, GOG and Steam pages.

Texte original · AnglaisTier list Part 5 (2026)
Texte original · AnglaisCaves of Qud is a turn-based traditional roguelike with a huge, freeform RPG campaign and deep lore, often compared to D&D and Dwarf Fortress. He says it demands patience and commitment, the text-style visuals will repel some players, and it is hard, with the advice to use the non-permadeath storyteller mode. He has only put in a small fraction of the hours fans recommend, so he finds it hard to judge. Many would put it in S, but he places it in low A for now, with a possible re-evaluation once he finishes the main quest.
Ce que le créateur apprécie
- Texte original · AnglaisMassive, open-ended RPG adventure with many ways to approach everything
- Texte original · AnglaisVery long main quest campaign
- Texte original · AnglaisStrong replayability from drastically different classes and races
- Texte original · AnglaisDeep lore and strong world-building focus
- Texte original · AnglaisRewards experimentation and mastering its mechanics; could be a 'one game for a year' pick
- Texte original · AnglaisConsidered by many one of the best traditional roguelikes
Problèmes relevés par le créateur
- Texte original · AnglaisVisuals are limited and hard to grasp, and can put many players off
- Texte original · AnglaisNeeds lots of patience and commitment to learn
- Texte original · AnglaisTutorial is small relative to the game's depth and it does not hold your hand
- Texte original · AnglaisHard, with easy deaths from experimenting; default hardcore permadeath is punishing
- Texte original · AnglaisHeavy reading and freedom can feel intimidating
Observations sur la conception
- Texte original · AnglaisExtreme freedom: no single way to do anything, closer to tabletop D&D than most roguelikes
- Texte original · AnglaisStoryteller mode lets players avoid permadeath while experimenting
- Texte original · AnglaisCharacter classes and races differ drastically, driving replay value
- Texte original · AnglaisLimited visuals lean on player imagination, which is part of the charm for fans
Avis actualisé
Texte original · AnglaisProvisional placement: he says many would put it in S and he may re-evaluate after beating the game; he is only about halfway through the main adventure.
