Eldritch’s movement mechanics, and the surprising strengths of Minecraft visuals

I picked up Eldritch on sale a few years ago. I was initially put off by its Minecraft-esque graphics, but Lovecraftian overtones and the promise of an engaging roguelike (or rogue-lite, if you’re a snob about these things) were enough to make me open my wallet – and I’ve got to say, I’m glad I did, because Eldritch is an underappreciated gem.
