Finally time to play Path of Achra! Took me a year to get around to it, and I was not disappointed. A great game reminiscent of Rift Wizard, which I also enjoyed (and also won my first run:    • [Stream] Rift Wizard First Play - Part 1  ), but PoA is unique in its own right with great writing and compelling design, if a bit overwhelming at first. Playing this first run I even clocked my longest single stream ever...

Highly recommended if you like theorycrafting builds and coming up with crazy synergies across attributes, items, skills, gods, and their various effects. There appear to be many valid play styles in here, though for this run in particular I worked my way into a fire-based martial warrior style that kills bosses in a couple turns by letting them attack me :P

Again the writing is great, such evocative lore and atmosphere, aided also by the music, love it all.

Ulfsire (the dev) was in chat for much of the run, as were other PoA players and some of the usual Cogmind gang.

Some other notes:
- Don't worry about the message log at the bottom of the main combat screen, you don't really need to read all that (I never even read it once, just opened the full log a handful times throughout the entire run, and won just fine :P)
- Just speccing into a few abilities is fine, as long as there's some synergy there (there are synergies all over), no need to read through them all or even check out all the different groups on a first play--plenty of toys for the future :D
- Praise Humbaba!
