How good is this compared to Cataclysm : DDA ?

[Bulby The Lightbulb]

I've been playing a lot of Cataclysm and I really love this game. Caves of Qud seems to have a similar feel to it so I might want to buy it. Can someone quickly explain to me what are the different things between those two games ?

C:DDA and CoQ are my favorite RL's. I'd personally say CoQ is even better. The amount of depth is staggering and I'm thrilled that they're finally working on it again.

CDDA is more open ended with the whole build a safehouse/safedeathcar, CoQ is more focused (traditional) roguelike with very nice lore, superb tiles and enjoyable depth.

I've never been happy with the way the devs of C:DDA took the original game ("Cataclysm" by Whales) and appropriated it. They hardly ever mention that he created the original and they just modified it; I've seen whole interviews where the fact was not mentioned at all despite them talking about how the game came about.

That sounds ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Big fan of Cataclysm - never heard of C:DDA until now though (i stopped playing Cataclysm like 2 years ago)

Yeah, that's kind of petty.

I think it's like comparing apples to oranges since they're both very different games but for overall enjoyment I do like CoQ more.

I love pixel artstyles and old school graphics but the tiles in COQ are absolutely awful.

They're different, I think. Cataclysm is much more sandbox-y, while CoQ is a more traditional roguelike. But it's great nevertheless.

Yes but I hope CoQ has more things than its free version, otherwise I don't see a reason to pay 9$ for it.

Hello, casual contributor to the cdda codebase here. You're a nutcase. No one would ever claim that anyone but whales created cata. Good day.

Also, CoQ is wonderful and the original ascii release was an inspiration for a whole bunch of cdda stuff.

PS: I don't read interviews, but Whales probably doesn't get mentioned often because no one asks. If every interview starts with "so how did DDA/this project/your involvement in it come about?", then no logical answer begins with "so way before I ever got involved there was this dude Whales...". Except the very first interview I found started with that exact thing happening. Did Granade nerf your favourite spec and call you a furry?

PPS: We do discuss Whale's latest projects once in a while though, they're neat, although the running joke is that cdda will be finished before cata2.

I like CCDA even though I feel there is a lot of bloat.

Have you not read the steam discussion area rules at all? You might want to read them.

So you don't read interviews either, but you still think you can address this point of mine anyway, it seems.

How classy. In future try having a discussion without insulting me.

I'm just saying, you've got issues.

it says on the store page what it has over the free version.
