In the game you marry a woman who is an adult which is frowned upon in Saudi Arabia

Is this real??
Off to Twitter to investigate.
Edit: Okay well;, the guy he's responding to is pretty aggressive I'll give him that.

I lived in Dubai and the same bans would carry over there. They even banned all the Mass Effect games. GTA 5 was also banned. However what people dont know is that big stores wont sell the game, but tiny Indian owned game shops still carry the game, even a week or two ahead of release. So you can still get your hands on one no matter the ban, you just wont see it being sold in a big mall.

I mean, whatever the Saudi gov decides, its their country and how they manage their affairs, let them be (apart for some Saudi brothers here in the forum)? Also, on one hand doing pushups for misgendering Taash or Abby getting railed by Neil managed to make GAF hate on the game, but a couple of medieval dudes playing with their meat is fine?

Vavra doesn't strike me like the kind of guy who'd shove in some needless political correctness into a game for the sake of it. People should calm themselves and wait to see what its all about.
If anything, it just shows he and his team are steadfast in their vision and won't compromise the game for any region.

The combat look...umm...different from all the dungeon crawlers i ever played...
I was expecting your usual isometric view and bashing monsters in real time...

What dungeon crawlers have you played? As I understand, the genre is defined by first-person games in which you navigate a maze-like level. Some may have turn-based combat (Etrian Odyssey) while others have real-time combat (Legend of Grimrock).

Yep, and this has been the case for literally decades since OG Wizardry, Eye of the Beholder, Might and Magic and many more.
Japan especially took Wizardry as the base for a lot of console based dungeon crawlers and even had variety of Wizardry game titles developed.

I would recommend to check what that guy said to Vavra. I know there are tons of morons online using "nazi" as a slur without understanding what it actually means, but the context here was very different, to say the leastDaniel Vavra responding to people asking about this in this manner isnt helping.....stupid fuck

Just as Tinto and Stereo mentioned, the genre comes all the way back from the beginning of the CRPG genre (because it was born from D&D and D&D is basically a dungeon crawler), back then the only (accessible) computers available (at schools) were mainframes with dumb terminals with limited capabilities so you had the text-only dungeons (from where MUDs eventually developed), the top-view 2D dungeons (from where Ultima and Rogue developed, this last one is from where the "roguelike" term was coined) and the grid-based first-person games with turn-based combat with text and wire-frame graphics (from where Wizardry eventually emerged). Personally I still use dungeon crawler for Wizardry-like games, and Labyrinth of Refrain and Labyrinth of Galleria are personally the best of the genre.
About the first 30 minutes of this video goes into pretty much the dungeon crawler era.

I mean, it's from a Saudi game outlet's Twitter post, yeah. You make it sound like it's an anonymous post from some random user. There could be something there - I'd just like to know if there is or not.

You do realize this Saudi game outlet could just be one guy, right? We already have IGN Middle East, and if this were legitimate, they would’ve known about it and covered it.

Looks like it is just "one guy" as best I can tell. At least according to the associated Youtube account, been around for 5+ years. Didn't we have cases of "one guy" reporting about Switch 2 announcement just.. days ago? I don't really care where the information is coming from, what matters to me is the game is coming out in a few weeks - not months. I'd like to know the answer to the speculation that is wildfiring across social medias about this now.

Then maybe i'm having a lapsus but i swear half of the isometric hack and slash i played in the past 10 years had dungeon crawlers as one of the tags on steam...
If i type best dungeon crawlers on google here some results:
Hades
Children of morta
Darkest dungeon
Cult of the lamb
Diablo 4
You can understand my confusion, i bet stuff like victor vran is considered a dungeon crawlers by some people...

Yeah no worries, it's one of those genres which definition has gone too widespread during the past few years. Same thing as with RPGs or roguelikes.
