Exploring the unknown is one of the greatest joys of any RPG. Getting to delve into ruins full of unspeakable horrors or scouring the streets of magical cities is like being an archaeologist of a fictional civilization, cataloging wonders never before seen by human eyes. If that’s your idea of a good time, Caves of Qud is for you.
It’s been a long journey to Caves of Qud’s December 5 release. The game is 15 years in the making, having garnered thousands of fans and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam since entering Early Access there in 2015. At the end of the road to its 1.0 launch, Caves of Qud is a sprawling, frustrating, incredibly compelling roguelike RPG that could take players just as long to fully experience as it took developer Freehold Games to make it.
