Pretty Good
This game looked very good in the store but I downloaded it and it was not as I was expecting. The dungeon crawler aspect was the part I was most excited for but there was almost no strategy to it and it got very boring. After a few dungeons it got very repetitive and boring, but the idea was good.
Simple
Simple and fun dungeon crawler.
fun, use of ai art though
pretty much exactly as advertised
just a warning though— all of the background art is very obviously ai generated. as an artist, it’s kind of difficult for me to support using ai instead of commissioning an artist. cheers.
Great game!
So much fun! And totally worth the money!
Great game so far
I’m enjoying the game play and the gear. I recommend this game!!
Fun but repetitive, pay wall
Damage numbers are inconsistent and once u pass the first stage you have to buy it. Ya I get trial and error but u arent told when u have to buy it u just get hit with it and that’s kinda rude considering the progress u make before u can’t continue.
Hmm
Good writing. Very simple mechanics. Solid idea. All Ai art :(. Could be fun but I’ll never know bc 15 dollars.
A couple annoying bugs
First . It this is self produced you should be proud of what you’re doing.
I have been playing d&d style games for over 30 years. So this is my take on your game. I also have play tester for multiple games and written for them.
The parts I find quit annoying are these bugs ; hence the low review. If you can make these couple changes I’ll be happy to reevaluate the game and give a better review.
Came across this several times.
Facing three elementals and one has 50 hit points. It took four tries to be able to run away. Was almost killed trying to get away. I see the percentage ability of running away , but after the third try you should have everyone be able to leave the combat.
Need to have access to more spells and or to level them up sooner. There is too much of a grind for the low access to spells.
Have cleared the board of tiles numerous times and still had to pay gold to leave the dungeon. There was no exit.
You need to have more healing available. Several times I have gone back to town out of healing only to find NO healing to buy.
You’re algorithm for experience and gold earned needs to be changed. It so too random , especially on the low end.
There are a couple more bugs , but these are the more annoying ones.
But again , you should take pride in what you have done here and continue to do . Good luck and look forward to what you will accomplish in the future.
Best Regards.
Fantastic
You can tell a lot of work and passion went into this game. It's a blast and so well done!
