I generally don't care for roguelike elements in most games (with a few exceptions), and will fully admit that it remains an uneasy mix for me in Fear & Hunger, but the rest of the presentation, nightmarishly grotesque writing and lore, and bizarre and dreamlike yet cohesive setting transcend that for me. Ma'habre, especially, will likely stay firmly lodged in my brain for as long as I live.

A lot of really neat ideas in this game that all come together nicely, such as the dismemberment mechanics that can affect both enemies AND player characters. Interesting stuff. Love it. As of writing this, I still need to play the sequel, as it's been sitting in my Steam Library for a while now. Looking forward to getting to it.
