Calling all lurkers (Yes, I do mean you, and yes I can see you)

When I tried the game several months back, I felt that it was a bit too punishing for how invested I already felt in the characters by that point compared to a normal roguelike.

Apart from that, I absolutely loved playing it.

The balance has swung back and forth; early in the beta, it was too easy, especially for stompy AoE parties. Then, they cranked the tuning way up, and it became punishingly difficult, especially at the beginning. Now it's in the middle, and I think it's a good place, though it does suffer a tiny bit from a backwards-bending difficulty curve. You can get hit pretty hard early on by a run of bad luck, which takes patience to get through.
