Desktop Dungeons: Rewind - Daily Demo

8/10 A 3D remake of Desktop Dungeons. Good: - the humor is all intact - nice polished looks, great animations - you can zoom the camera out to get an almost-2D overview of the level - in this free "daily demo" you can beat 1 level for free per day So-so: - the UI feels less informative because the info is now in the screen corners. In the 2D version is was neatly packed into 1 panel on the right Bad: - the level numbers are too small and are especially hard to see on the zoomed out map. The original 2D game had those numbers big and clearly visible, since the strength of units grows very fast with levels and important to see these levels I have a feeling that the game will be primarily targeting mobile. The casual 3D gfx and the shops everywhere make me think so. Hopefully they don't create a bazaar with virtual currencies.

Well... what shall i say? It is... an interesting new way to show a dungeon, very simple fight system, which is good, because you get the feeling of "moving forward". but i can not even finish the tutorial level, the monsters are unbeatable. the easy combat system lets you calculate exactly, how much damage you will receive, and you just can count, that there's more damage incoming than you are able to stand, even if you include all healing potions found in the dungeon. but the most confusing part was this strange "conversion stone" - whatever that shall be. it ate up all my skills, then i had nothing left. no explanation beside a confusing sentence that doesn't explain anything. if i get it right, there is a "convert" button appearing on all loot as soon as you have this thing, but nobody tells you, what it actually is. so, while the idea is top, i like that kind of gameplay very much, everything aside of the game loop is so mega confusing that i can not give a thumb up - i would really like to, but the confusion is over the top!
