Version 10: x64 Update

2020-11-13

The first major update in 8 years is finally here. This update features some seismic changes to the internals of the game, the biggest of which is the 64 bit changeover that Linux users have already been enjoying are now available to Windows and MacOSX users. The MacOSX version is also completely gatekeeper Catalina compliant. Don't fret though, not all the changes are internal. We also have new characters, new enemies, new items, new artifacts, new features, a new achievement, and even an entirely new quest for you to get your teeth into. There are also plenty of quality of life improvements, and I have brought a lot of the features from the mobile version over to the desktop. The Steam version is now the definitive version of Hack, Slash, Loot.

Read the full notes

Sadly there have been casualties and the 32 bit version is now considered deprecated and will not receive further updates. I'm sure you can appreciate that this is a major change and there may be a few teething problems so please bear with us. A full list of changes/fixes/additions can be found bellow. Main additions • New quest - The Isle of Weeping Woods quest added. Originally designed for the initial release it was mothballed due to time restraints. Well it's back now! • 12 new characters - Originally released as a dlc for users of the old forum they are now part of the main game. Some are joke characters and some are game breaking so use them wisely. • 7 new artifacts - These include the 3 from the mobile version and 4 completely new artifacts. Happy hunting. • Guldar artifact set - If you have collected the complete set of Guldar artifacts you can now select the whole set as your starting artifact/s. • Health restores when entering new level - This was a feature added to the mobile version to encourage players to leave the level when their health is low. It worked well and so is now in the desktop version too. • Miss bonus now visible - When a character misses they gain a bonus to attacks until they hit. The bonus stacks for each miss until they hit. This has always been a hidden feature of the game. It is now an official feature and visible in the log and in attack previews. • True ultimate warrior trophy - The ultimate warrior trophy was supposed to need all stats to be over the threshold during one quest, but it was broken. Sadly it was broken for too long before I noticed so I left it how it was. Enter true ultimate warrior, the way it should have been. I hope. • Global stats - The global turns/kills/deaths/quests are now tracked through Steam. This will take a while to completely sync up. • Quest difficulty - Hovering the mouse over the quest name in the menu will show its difficulty. The difficulty also shows in the log when starting a quest. • Artifact hint text - Hovering the mouse over artifact icons in the menu now shows their stats. • Dmg/res/vuln type hint text - This fixes the omission of the stat from the character preview when hovering the mouse over the character names/icons. • New level alternative music - There is now a chance of getting an alternative track to play when entering a new level. Internal changes • 64 bit compile - The game is now rewritten for 64 bit machines. • New audio system - This change was made for the Linux build and is now live for all versions. • New Steam integration - The Steam integration has now been rewritten. This allows Linux users to join the Steam fun and also some other additions such as global stat tracking, syncing local stats, etc. • Changed artifact storage • Fixed image warnings(colour format) • Added chained feature actions • Allow non-equipped special items • Fixed fullscreen mouse coords on MacOSX Enjoy! ːentː

For a brief moment I couldn't decide whether this game is just too hard or game design is severely flawed. Now I've come to a conclusion - this game is VERY flawed. It's pure RNG, even the knowledge you gain by trying to beat it will be countered by incredible randomness. It doesn't give you a sense of progression, you either get lucky or not.

A good roguelike is characterized by providing you limited resources and abilities, but presenting situations where your choices among those resources and abilities are generally meaningful and significant to your survival and progress. Hack, Slash, Loot does not understand this, limiting options to the point where the game may as well be a linear corridor occasionally blocked off by an enemy or a small numeric...

Alright, I tried to like this game, I really did. Normally I can get some enjoyment out of rogue-like or rogue-lite games. Hard games are fine. Games like Demon's Souls or Dark Souls? Great fun. But Dark Souls has a design philosophy that makes sense. If you die, it's your own fault. You're punished for your own failures. But this game? It's basically just a coin flip that determines whether you win a fight or not....

As of this writing, 49% of the reviews for this game are positive. This is frankly, to me inexplicable as this is the worst game in my library of 90 so far. What makes this game obnoxiously bad, egregiously terrible is that it has surface appeal. It deceives the experienced player of roguelikes into thinking that strategic and thoughtful play will be rewarded if one can intuit the subtle rules of the game. Don't...

The game in a nutshell: *Miss* *Miss* *Miss* **Dead** Buy a couple of dice. It will be cheaper and WAY more fun than this game. And the chances of getting a desired number on said dice are accurate, as oppossed to this game's RNG. RNG (random number generator) is an important part in roguelikes. It's not, however, the ONLY meaningful part. This is the game's worst sin. it's completely random. In good roguelikes,...

Meh...everything in this game is random. Everything. From the level generation to attacking and being attacked. You could literally die from the first rat you fight if your random luck is bad enough. I started one game where I spawned, opend the first door , and was greeted with about 7 enemies that swarmed me from the surrounding rooms. All of which got to take shots at me while I had to focus on one hoping I could...

This is a top down retro style dungeon crawler along the lines of an old DOS dungeon crawler with random dungeons, random enemies and everything will kill you. The art style is nice, but really too many games are doing retro. As a game, Hack, Slash, Loot is not fun, it doesn't just feel unfair, but it feels more difficult than fun. You can pick a class or have it random. You can pick a mission / quest or randomly do...

I looked forward to a challenging game, what I got was 2.x hours of pure frustration. If I wanted to fight this hard for something I would have started an argument with my mother-in-law over anything family related and would have still had an easier time. To quote some people on just one of the threads in the forums:- “I've played a lot of rogue-likes, and it's one of the most unfair, least skill based, unreasonable...
