Alchemic Dungeons DX

One of my absolute favorite Mystery Dungeon-style games. High recommend for those who just need another hit of dopamine while Spike Chunsoft is developing their next title.

I hate crafting, and I wish rather than dropping all these reagents you have to tediously mix together that the game simply dropped the end items for you, but I understand that is a matter of preference and if you're into crafting this is a fun little game at a reasonable price point.

Ignore my playtime, I have over 400 hours on Nintnedo Switch, all of which were well spent. Alchemic Dungons DX is likely as close to a Delicious in Dungeon roguelike as we'll get, and a solid foundation for an amazing sequel we will never have the chance to play. This is an almost arcade-y take on the Mystery Dungeon genre with some crafting elements that let you create weapons, armor, and consumables out of materials littered throughout each floor. A large part of the appeal is being able to make the perfect arsenal to make it to the last floor. Sadly, the closest thing to this is Nito Fusion in Touhou Genso Wanderer -RELOADED-, which is a shame, because this take on the Mystery Dungeon genre needs a spiritual successor, if not a true sequel. (Prove me wrong, Q-Cumber Factory! Please develop Alchemic Dungeons 2, with more crafting recipes, an explorable overworld with towns, NPCs, and side-quests!)
