Rogue Like..

[Red2112]

For those interested in "Cogmind", a couple of things to point out...

Buying direct from Grid Sage Games:

- If you buy the direct version (no DRM), you can also ask for a Steam key. Dev will send you a key via mail.
- Direct version has no install, it´s a folder (45mb) with all the stuff needed and the .exe. You simply launch the .exe.
- I suggest to hand-fill all the order form boxes. Don´t let W10 auto-fill the form, it will add none seen data in the VAT ID box that wont let you purchase the product.
- With the Direct version, W10 Defender will see it as malware on first launch. This is a known issue by the dev which is due to constante updates not tracked by W10. Just ignore it (more options) and run the .exe.
- There is a way to see how the game will look in your native resolution on the product page. There is no zoom option so before buying I suggest you look into this as the map is quite small in view.
- See link below for manual.

Personally with Cogmind and Caves of Qud, Iam having alot of fun and will be doing so for a long time due to the content and ramdomly generated map/encounters/quest/avatar. A good investment IMHO.

Both games are quite tough to be honest, but then they wouldn´t be "rogue like/lite" if they were not.

Your welcome Kuokkanen.

Ruiner reminds me of "Synthetik Legion Rising" a bit. Looks cool!

My Discord channel is down as I had to format my old PC due to a faulty ram stick. Forgot my channels password LOL. I´ll send you a PM soonish with a new one [;)]

[Red2112]

@coachi, yes Rimworld is great! I play it too.
