I’m glad you posted this. I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS, but was doubting it would ever be released. I’d checked the site just a few days before this thread and seen that it had been redesigned in anticipation of the game’s release, but thought “I’ll believe it when I see it” and probably wouldn’t have looked again for months.

Instead I’ve been playing it all weekend. 🙂

The combat system leaves a lot to be desired, but at least it is possible to remap the keys used for different moves. I’m on a laptop with no number pad, so trying to use the preset key commands was really awkward.

> I took a peek at the FAQ…yah, the game has a timed feel to it; it’s not like QFG1 where you can do a lot of things at once (if you know all the key locations and avoid being killed at the same time)

Hell, QFG1 is so un-timed, that it can be beaten in [less than ten minutes.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yfyLbUdgR0)

And almost half of that is just climbing a damn tree to build up a stat. Though this person didn’t defeat Baba Yaga, but still…
