Dungeon Falan

I played some time and it was fun, but then after I think 3 hours I planned to continue play from place where I paused. But! Game was restarted and I lost ALL of my progress. Unbelievable.

By far the best reimagining of dungeon raid. But the battery is draining like crazy

Totally great game with a beautiful soundtrack .

Well thought and produced!! Sound design gives you a “28 days later” atmosphere. Took me a little time to get used to it. By choosing the right skills you can proudly defeat the monsters by posioning, trapping them and using their own attack to rip them up.. It’s been 2 hours since I’ve downloaded the game and l’ve been playing without a break. just came here to write down a review... Enjoying a lot! Thanks!

If it would save the automatically save the game when you switch apps.

When loading this on an iPhone 13 Max, the app opens successfully and seems to get into the game mode, but once there, the game refuses to acknowledge any attempts to match icons.

While Dungeon Raid was the original concept and lost to an iOS update, Dungeon Falon brings back the many hours of fun. Definitely could use a bit more in the unlockables, but this variation has enough depth to keep me going. Thank you for breathing life into the dungeon-tile game.

Why doesn’t this game auto save like most smartphone games? I get distracted by a message notification in another app, end up forgetting about the game, browse Reddit for awhile, then open the game to find out iOS kicked it out of the background. It starts up again, and if I didn’t hit level 2 before leaving the game, I have to start a new one. If I didn’t hit a new level, then I’m reverted back to the previous level. It’s super not friendly for being a smart phone game and really makes it a slog to play.

This game, while fun, isn’t as smooth or as deep as the original “Dungeon Raid” game that this game is designed directly after. It would be a 1-to-1 conversion of Dungeon Raid, but it is more of a 0.5-to-1 conversion as it is missing a lot of the features of the original game. You don’t gain unique stat bonuses or gear for defeating bosses, your individual heroes do have some unique toggled skills, but they don’t have the unique style skills like the uppercut damage bonus or the infinite combo skill that allows you to pass through tiles of non-like types to continue comboing for whichever tile type you started out with. There is no real rpg element to it as you don’t continue unlocking perks or abilities for each character type in-between games, the different heroes don’t really change the feel of a given game like the enemy types don’t really vary based on hero type or anything, comboing between tiles feels a bit sticky and sluggish while also being less precise, but you can work around that well enough, and the game board isn’t as big as Dungeon Raid’s was which leads to stale boards with too few creative options too often. Yeah, it is just a less deep, less smooth Dungeon Raid where they have added a rather meaningless “level cleared” wipe after defeating a boss as opposed to dropping some unique loot and just continuing to ramp up the board as you progress. It seems like they tried to make it “it’s own game” with those shallow tweaks and it’s a shame because a direct recreation of Dungeon Raid would have been more worth my money and a lot of people would probably have bought it for that very reason. Still, it sort of fills the void left by the now defunct Dungeon Raid. I just wish it were more so. Also, the music is pretty bad and greatly detracts from enjoyment. I recommend turning that off.

Thanks to Touch Arcade I got to relive my childhood with this game (not really, I’m 50). Dungeon Raid was a classic in its day and I played it constantly. Dungeon Falan hits all the right notes and has all the tension of the previous game. I like the new skills and upgrades. Graphics are great. Sound is great. Can’t wait to see 2.0!
