if you check the comments on Steam, you’ll see that it seems to be working nicely. :p
The issue some people have is more about the active pause, which puts the system between real-time and turn based, and thus can be baffling at 1st. So I added some optional auto-pause which helps the turn-based fan to get into it.

You seem nice, but this introduction of MMO elements in proper RPGs smells like blasphemy. Now I really need to play Dungeon Guardians to determine whether or not it needs to be purged :P.

I finished MMX & FatU in Adventurer, and replayed the 1st few dungeons in Warrior. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I only recall there is a 1-turn taunt spell & an interception automatic ability, but these spells are not per se aggro management nor part of a threat system (even more as the taunt doesn’t work on bosses). If you didn’t play World of Warcraft (and probably other MMOs) maybe you’re not familiar with what I mean.
You can see comments here telling there’s no aggro in MMX http://steamcommunity.com/app/238750/discussions/0/558746089526260952/
Very shortly, aggro means each mob attacks the toon who is the most threatening to that mob ; damage produces threat on the damaged mob ; healing produces threat on all surrounding mobs ; and the tank has special abilities to outrank the dps & healer threat. This is what is unique in Dungeon Guardians, no other solo-RPG implemented that. (and seeing as hard it is to grasp for a lot of people, maybe there’s a reason for that, ie: it’s not very casual player friendly :p )

For the party in the row, you’re right, especially as the party in DG isn’t in a row ; but there’s almost no rule about that, most of the times, front & back rows don’t have any difference, thus why Volrath refers to them as being in a row. 🙂

thanks for the reply, and congratulations on the successful release of a very interesting game – I will certainly buy it sooner rather than later.

However, I will have to disagree about aggro management in MnM: X. There is a class more or less dedicated to it, the Dwarven Defender/Shield Guard. And while it is entirely possible to completely ignore aggro management during the main campaign and playing on the “Adventurer” difficulty, completing the DLC “The Falcon and the Unicorn” in “Warrior” difficulty without managing aggro is next to impossible – which is actually a flaw in the DLC design, since it is entirely possible to have a party with very limited aggro management potential.

tl;dr – I get it, what was just an optional playstyle in MnM: X, is far more integral in Dungeon Guardians. My half-joking point to Volrath had more to do with the implication in his review that having the whole party in a row in a grid-based dungeon-crawler is “innovative”.

Note: I’m Dungeon Guardians author. 😉
