Looks incredibly … well, "cute" isn't the right word … It reminds me of board games i had played in my youth …

I admit I'm confused. Early in development it looked like they were developing a dungeon crawler. Now it seems they've switched gears to selling a game-making toolkit.

Question for people playing:
Is the game worth playing with existing content, and how about an hours estimate?

Quick overlook:
The game has a built-in story, the Wizards Tower; it consists of 25 levels, which are of varying length. I assume they get longer the higher you get.
It also has to seperate Campaigns. One medieval one and a Sci-Fi one. I heard they are… longish.
There's also a "Endless" mode, aswell as an arena.
The community content that exists up to now seems to be mostly really decent. I only looked at some, but the quality is mostly pretty good.
