Legends of the Roguelike aka Deep Souls by Conmon

 

You are an adventurer who has reached the gateway to the Tomb of Ghalung-Korrid, the final resting place of two wrathful Dark Half-Gods. Standing outside of the dungeon is Gatewatcher Volus, an old, wise guardian, who has warned you that no one has returned after setting foot inside the walls of this cursed dungeon. But you are determined - you will find Ghalung and Korrid, but happens from there is up to you... 

Legends of the Roguelike is a single character dungeon delving adventure where the hero can be choosen between four classes: Knight, Mage, Thief, Priest. Each one has different abilities and equipment, moreover the game relies on bonfires to save the game and heal characters. The game includes a single dungeons, filled with enemies and a couple of bosses. The game is more similar to a classic rpg experience.

Random Fact: the game was going to be renamed Deep Souls, due to some parallels with the Dark Souls series, such as the use of bonfires to heal and save, and the presence of a lone hero. In any case the last demo still has the title Legends of the Roguelike.

 

Final Verdict: Legends of the Roguelike or Deep Souls is a little cool demo. If you lie to yourself and consider it a complete game, it's still good, I mean in few time the game throws a lot in terms of enemies, exploration and a couple of quests. There are also some bosses that are optional (and a couple of them are also quite talkative!), but the final enemy will even mention if you killed them, and the difficulty is quite well balanced, even if you may grind a bit and make every encounter too easy. The only problem I found is that one of the bosses is referred first as Gashur the Bold, then Lorzog the Swift, and then as Gashur the Bold! Probably he was renamed but the old names was left in a dialogue, in any case it's the only problem I found with this game. For the rest, absolutely nothing bad, on the contrary I wished it was longer.
