Powder is one of my favorite rouges on the ds, there is many dungeon crawlers but POWDER is one of the best, but it still has a few bugs like the random creation, there is several characters that start out really weak, and after a while you learn that the necroancer is the best and just randomly push "nEW GAME" until u get it, but its a realy deep crawler, you can read books (or eat it) and so on...

review will be updated later on

Rouge is make-up or the colour red in French. One of the original, if not the the very first dungeon crawlers was called Rogue. Any similar games are known as Rogue-likes. Nethack is a rogue-like and so is Powder.

Random character generation would ruin the game for me. None of the decent rogue-likes force you to play as a randomly generated character, but some do allow you to randomise the character by choice. I'm surprised they couldn't code custom character generation into the game. Are you sure it is a bug? I'm thinking it is just laziness or a deliberate game design choice.
