I came across a review of this quirky little game about six months ago. I think the words that drew me in were deep turn-based tactics.
I ended up playing it a few nights over the winter. The user interface is a throwback to the eighties but its fun in a retro way. The game is hard and very random. My party had the habit of running into a group of Orcs who easily chopped us to bits the first few times out.
In hindsight, Helherron feels like a party based version of rogue. Definitely a cheap and interesting turn based strategy game for someone who is looking for some old school Ultima style gaming.
