This is by far the best video game I have ever played. The depth of the character classes and the effects they have on the gameplay on the higher difficulties is just mindblowing. The more you play Tales of Maj'Eyal, the more you will appreciate its tactical genius. There are around 33 unique classes which all have their own playstyle and will leave a different taste for the player. By its nature, it is a one-life game, a roguelike, yet you may choose to have several of infinite lives as well. There are 5 difficulties for the game and 2-3 official campaigns. The main campaign on the 4th difficulty (Insane Difficulty) is what I would consider the real way to play the game. You will have to read and think before you set forth into this dangerous world. The game provides you everything you need to win on almost every class. The learning curve is very, very high. I have been playing for 11 years and still have not won a game on the 5th difficulty. But I can see how it could be done. The game has an online chat feature, everyone on the chat loves the game and will try to help the new players anyway they can. The main moderator Moasseman is online almost 24/7. The game's take on the "Turn-based" system is a fluid one. You can increase your speed in various ways. The game is far from perfect, but it is still the best Tactical Tile and Turn Based Roguelike you will ever find. The universe of Maj'Eyal have a rather different approach to magic. The natural forces and magical forces are supposed to be counter-effecting each other in this universe. There are many secrets to be found, lore to be read all around the game. As far as I know, there are 3 optional end-game bosses as well. One of them is hidden so well... All in all, Tales of Maj'Eyal is a timeless classic for me. There will never be another rogue game which touched my heart as much as this masterpiece genius game. I truly hope that the developer of the game our beloved Darkgod will find his way through the hardships of the real world and join us once again. All hail ToME.
