** The random encounters themselves often vary wildly in difficulty, as well. You can either get one monster or ''five''. Yes, really. You can breeze through a dungeon as long as you don't get any gigantic encounters, or have to glue yourself to the nearest healing point if you get groups of 4-5. This is on top of the wildly variable chances of getting encounters in the first place.

''Diver Down'' is an Indie Freeware RPG (Available for download [[http://www.grenideer.com/diverdown/_htm/download.htm here]]) in the style of traditional {{Eastern RPG}}s. However, where the game truly shines is its story, where it shows that even freeware games certainly can tell intricate and involving stories, and arguably puts many commercial [=RPGs=] to shame in storytelling.

That\'s a rather silly thing to say; RP Gs are very well-known for their storytelling capability. Some critics even say it\'s their only saving grace.
