Uncharted Wanders

Journey across the perilous Divide between the Spiritual and Physical Realms.  For profit, of course.

Did you ever wonder: "What if Uncharted Waters was a dungeon crawler?"  I know I sure did!

Estimated play time: 1 hour

Features:

• 6 towns across two realms!
• 14 Trade Goods to buy, sell, and profit with!
• 4 key items to collect to win the game
• Optional final side-boss for your mercenaries to fight

Hints:

• The combat along the first path  you take is rather difficult, try finding a way through with 0 or 1 fights (and, if you get really unlucky and your mercenary dies, just reload and try again ^_^).
• Except for a few later areas, almost all combat is avoidable, though at some point it's optimal not to.
• Double tap a movement direction to sprint.
• Access music volume and game saving in the Esc menu.

Controls should be mostly self-explanatory, but here are some alternatives not shown in-game:

• All: Toggle which buttons turn  vs strafe in the Esc menu.
• Keyboard: Space to accept menu options, Numpad, Arrows to navigate on-screen and in-world.  M for Map.  Shift-click to sell/buy max, or speed up combat.
• Gamepad: Bumpers to strafe.  Trigger to sell/buy max, or speed up combat. Y for Inventory.  Back/Select for Map.  Start for menu.
• Mouse: Also works, if you like that kind of thing
• Touch-screen/mobile: Should work great!  Not much testing on that front though =)

Game may also be played directly on web on dashingstrike.com.
