Jettatura is a brutal, cruel, intentional throwback to first person dungeon crawlers like Wizardry. Create 6 brilliant or stupid adventurers and go forth into the dungeon meeting certain doom and game overs. Then make another team, a better team, and draw out a map, and go rescue those first set of idiots. Took me about 25 hours. You will need extreme patience in order to best this one. I never got a game over but I did go mentally insane. If you do not have DRPG experience, try something like Etrian Odyssey instead.

Positives
- Fairly good, clean graphics
- automap spell via command code for teh softcore pleb causals
- spell lists all feel pretty good. All are strong
- lots of gear and classes

Negatives
- NO MOUSE OR CUSTOM CONTROLS BOO!!!
- No way to see stats on items. What does this burnt finger do? Eat it and find out!
- Single enemies/bosses are too easy imo not giving much use for debuff spells.
- minimum music and only the combat music is any good
- menus are basic AF and retro and annoying
- no character icons for your team
- Flip tiles, looping maps, teleports, one way doors, dark areas, etc were annoying in the 80s and they're annoying now.
