Critic Reviews for Caves of Qud
Densely imagined and as complex as you fancy, this roguelike RPG is brilliant.
Caves of Qud is a genre-defining achievement in play, story, and roleplaying freedom.
Caves of Qud has a devoted following for good reason. Its world is vivid despite its graphical style - the wonderful music helping out - and its rapid turn-based gameplay is addictive. The hardcore roguelike approach is brutal but makes each run special. This is at odds with the main thread of an RPG quest, which demands that every run is aimed at the same goal. However, that tension provides an energy that's hard to resist. It's compressed a little uneasily onto Switch, but can be made to work.Maybe not legendary status on Switch, then, but a tale worth passing down to another generation of console players.
A staggering achievement in terms of role-playing interactivity and flexibility, that also manages to be both accessible and maintain a fun sense of the absurd.
Caves of Qud is a game that will reward you more and more for putting in the time and effort to learn about it. Even just from scratching the surface, however, I am absolutely entranced by the worlds the game can create.
Caves of Qud is a brilliant achievement in game design waiting to be discovered by those with the curiosity and patience for it.
Some hardcore RPG old-timers will enjoy every single piece of Caves of Qud, yet the prehistoric visuals and teeth-grinding difficulty could be too much for modern players.

As we will tell in the review of Caves of Qud , what the authors accomplished is a sort of miracle that inevitably pushes us to reflect on the idiosyncrasies of the modern medium.
