About This Game

Skilltree Saga is the first Rogue-like RPG set in Aventuria - the world of The Dark Eye. Choose to play as human, elf or dwarf and battle randomly generated opponents in over 100 stages, developing a set of magical, enhanceable skills.

Story

A sinister army of orks and goblins led by the Dark Ruler Sargul are besieging the city of Griffinsford. To make matters worse, your beloved, the daughter of Baron Griffontrue, was abducted, and you desperately take up pursuit. When ambushed by goblins, you are saved by a master of the mysterious Elemental Knights. You are given the rare opportunity to become part of this elite and ancient hidden order. After intensive crash course training, it is up to you to defeat the sinister horde that threatens to overrun the land.

Motivating Rogue-like Elements

Randomly generated monsters and treasure await the brave Elemental Knight in the margravate of Griffinsford. Defeat enemies and gather from a wide variety of equipment, which you must don to enhance attributes like Strength, Cleverness or Constitution. In the market you can trade equipment and purchase provisions. Use diamonds to purchase rare astral and healing potions to replensih your Astral Energy and health.

Round-based Duelling

Careful consideration is mandatory when facing the minions of Sargul! Choose from a variety of skills, damage your enemy with wind and water magic or force them to their knees with powerful fire spells. Learn and upgrade your skills. You will need them! So too, your enemies will strike at you with magical skills of their own. Fire will burn your skin, ice chill your bones. Other skills will enfeeble your senses or rain death down upon you.

Skilltree with numerous spells of the Elemental Knights

You start as an unknown adventurer of either human, elf or dwarf origin. In your conflicts against dangerous monsters, you will earn experience to increase your power steadily. Through level ups you will earn Adventure Points, which can be used to enhance your skills and learn new spells.

Over 100 levels of challenging dungeons. Rogue-style!

Choose from several dungeons to challenge and master. Hidden within you will encounter deadly creatures, chests filled with treasure or fountains of healing. You may come across a shady but neutral goblin merchant, who will offer to sell you items and equipment on your journey. Fall to a dungeon's dangers and you will be forces to begin anew, but with the experience earned in your attempt. Only the most bravest and strongest will face and conquer the more difficult dungeon bosses, and lend immortality to their name in the hall of heroes!

Bad facebook quality game.

I'd write a longer review, but honestly, think "facebook RPG" and you've got this game.

Cons:
- This *not* a rogue-like game. It's just a sequence of combats reminiscent of about a gazillion generic flash games.
- After a while it degrades into a grind of one-hitting until the opponents get so strong that you have to retreat and start the next grind.
- "The Dark Eye" universe is far away. Maybe a thing or two taken from there but that's about it.

Pros:
+ Graphic style is quite nice but not contributing to the gameplay.

Alas, I must confess that this game is almost certainly not worth your time and money.

First off, let us be clear: this is NOT a rogue-like, in any sense of the word. Your character is immortal, and if you are defeated in combat you get a tiny slap on the wrist (which may not be anything at all, depending on how many items you found on that particular adventure).

Speaking of "adventure," the game has only one mechanic: click to start the fight. Each fight is automatic, with zero input from you. All you have to do is decide whether to fight the next enemy or to run back to town and heal. That is the entire game. I have played far more complex high-school coded flash games.

The list of reasons not to play does not end there, though. The enemy design and "animations" are exceptionally poor. English language errors appear on nearly every sentence (this was NOT proofread), Sound frequently swaps left/right channels. A skill which purports to do damage does not do damage.

I have no idea how such a one-dimensional, thoughtless, sophomoric title got the Dark Eye name behind it, but your time and money are far better spent elsewhere.

The game is extremely simple with very little depth. The skill tree is the same for all characters and the combat is automatic. I found that i just ended up using blitz skill first to one shot every enemy with no semblance of strategy. If you cant beat an enemy then just go back to town and start over, one shotting enemies until you get bored. I made it to level 20 before i gave up.

I dig this game. You level a human, elf or dwarf by entering dungeons with randomly generated encounters. Leaving a dungeon without dying means you get to keep the loot you earned, so fleeing to fight another day is a good idea. The goal is to complete all dungeons and rescue the local baron's daughter from the villain. Kind of a classic theme and gives you something to work towards aside from filling up your skillset and upgrading your gear. Gear seems to be also randomly generated, so you get different combinations like elven sword of the bear or leather cap of the owl, depending on makeup and enchantment.

You definitely feel the progression, even if you have to go into a dungeon multiple times to kind of grind levels, because everytime you enter a dungeon it gets a little easier, and you get a little farther. I'm just about to take down the spider boss of the forest dungeon after it handed me my butt last time. For a simplistic dungeon crawler there is a lot of rich dialog and story atmosphere. Definitely addictive. You want to keep getting strong and getting farther, and it doesn't suck away a lot of your time so you can power through or play it in short sessions casually.

The game itself feels incomplete at this stage, given that a lot of animations are broken or missing, model designs are low quality as well as enemy designs.
Skilltree Saga is reasonably entertaining, although very repetitive and grindy towards the end of the game. You will find yourself sitting down for a decent 6-10 hours just to finish the last map alone depending on what class you choose. The name itself is deceptive, in that the skills in the skill tree are very limited and there are only a few core abilities worth using out of the entire selection, adding to the already evident lack of balance in the end-game.
Despite it's flaws, Skilltree Saga is still a fun game, but I would recommend waiting for it to go down to around $5 before purchasing it in its current state.

A very light RPG with a little dungeon crawling mixed in. Essentially, you'll choose your race (human, elf, or dwarf) and embark on a mission to level up your character by picking a dungeon, get as far as you can, and retreat back to town to heal up and buy/equip new loot. You don't have control during combat...rather, you can assign skills from your skill tree into a que and the system will rotate through this que in sequential order. It's not a bad game, though the player won't have a lot of choices to make and the menus/screens can be cumbersome and disorganized at times. I'd wait for a 50% off sale, but that's just my personal opinion. This game falls under the "Average" category and unfortunately Steam doesn't have a "Meh" button. To that end, I'll give it a positive recommend with the understanding that I believe the game to be simply mediocre based on the current asking price.

It is a very good game that you can just dive into. Most RPG/Roguelike hunger maniacs out there will enjoy this game a lot.
There are randomly generated dungeons, so each go-through feels unique, also there are random events that can happen ( holy molly shrine, chests, and etc. ).
There is a skill tree(duh) and skill levels, loot, various enemies using various skills, so that adds up a certain amount of strategy to the game.
Then there are elite enemies and bosses, which use a wider variety of abilities and are tougher and more rewarding.
The game is easy to learn so it's geared also towards new RPG/Roguelike players or people that just want to have fun after a bad day.
There is a replayability value as well.
The cost of the game is amazing as well and totally worth it. I was actually surprised when i saw it, thinking it will be a little higher.

Some people might dislike the combat system, but in my opinion it is good.

Overall, it is a very good game on which you can spend a good amount of time and enjoy to the fullest.

Skilltree saga is a fun game for me. Not all people require complex or indepth game strategy, story line or game mechanics. But, I will agree about the asking price is little high for this type of simple flash-like game. Final Rating 6/10

Skilltree Saga is fun! I was just fighting a boss and only had 2 HP left. The boss buffs itself and misses with an earthquake blast. Phew. Just barely made that one, but it was intense and worth it. I got a mythril plate of the tiger for my troubles and then retreated to town to heal and gear up for another dungeon run.
It really makes you sweat sometimes because if you die, you lose all the loot you collected in that dungeon instance. Worth playing!

addictive gameplay, has that, 'just one more go..' feeling.

I'm nearly finished - It needs more content and more achievements to drive the game; otherwise it will fall into the grind category.

trading cards??

Grind Grind Grind..

Repetitive grind...
With very little story line (Women kidnapped, train up to save her, save her, done.)

But I'm gonna recommend it as something to pass the time, nothing more.

A fun and casual RPG-lite which is also quite good looking. You don't actually control your character during fights, instead you set him up beforehand based on your next opponent. When you reach an opponent that is out of your league, you simply click the retreat button and go back to town to buy better gear. The caveat being that when you retreat from a dungeon you will have to start from the beginning of it next time you enter. But battles are fast so it doesn't really matter that you have to rethread some ground. Fun, casual, pretty, what's not to like? Thumbs up!
