Yeah, I think it’s interesting to play it in ASCII. It makes you actually read the text logs and use your imagination, which feels more like a book. But it also makes it harder to actually know what’s going on, so I really don’t know about it being more fun…
funnily enough I always found the tiles to be harder to read. For me ASCII is clearer on what the enemy is and how dangerous it is. Always been a huge ASCII fan so maybe that colors my opinion.
Yeah, maybe I would need to get used to ASCII more, too. I just find it particularly tricky in crowded fights to know which monster is where. Like, I can work it out with a bit of time, but I can’t just look at it once and see immediately that the C next to me is a cyclops, which I should be getting away from ASAP. I guess, you’d probably memorize letters/colors like that sooner rather than later, when actually playing with ASCII, though…
