I'd really appreciate if you guys took a look at this. Its something I've been working on with a friend and the idea owner for a while now, and we need someone more competent than I am at sprites. You don't have to do that, but that's the main concern right now. I mainly just want some input.

What is this doing in the request sub-forum?
Thanks for the interest, regardless. If you have any comments or such, it'd be greatly appreciated.
It looks pretty good to me.
Seems like it would be a good game. I'm not sure how well an "atmospheric world filled with story" would integrate with randomly generated geography (I don't often see these two together) but obviously that depends on how random it is and what exactly "geography" means (just dungeons/forests/etc or the entire world). I'd be interested to see how the story would be conveyed through the environments with little dialogue, and how vague or in-depth it would be.
If all abilities revert to level 1 when you die the combat and leveling mechanics would also have to be very well balanced to keep it fun and interesting, and not just frustrating.
Yeah, that's the nature of a rogue-like. The idea for the world's story being intact was to have it structured something like the Diablo games, where the outer areas are randomly generated, but the points you travel between and certain events will always have certain things occur.
