Dungeon Dreams 2

Niche, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the depth of the game. Enjoyed the game very much (especially the recruitment and the choices). Will watch out for devs' future games.

It's peak. As someone who ADORES all kinds of RPGM games, this is probably one of the biggest gems I have ever found whilst browsing games on Steam. Just play it please it is so good, I literally cannot stop playing it since I started.

This is a hard one to rate, I put a lot of time into this, trying to find every little secret I could, explore all the side quests and build everything I could find but all in all I think the experience isn't really worth the time investment. Lets start with the good, it's very long, there's a lot of content in here, plenty of companions, a lot of different ways to build, tons of equipment, plenty of side quests and story beats but beyond that it all feels like it has plenty of substance but no spice. The characters all feel very one note, a lot of them are weirdly aggressive out of nowhere, for instance, I tried to confide in the dragon blacksmith lady while listening to her story and she aggressively snaps back at me for interrupting her despite her having just ended her statement, it just feels so weird and instantly takes me out of wanting to help them. Besides the flat characters a lot of them are so weirdly sexualised, now I don't mind a bit of perv, that's all well and good but it feels like every 2 or 3 interactions someone would be ogling a girl or talking about a relationship or something along those lines, and I could forgive that but it's so constant over such a long time span. The worst for me is the psychotic murder girl that... everyone just lets roam around the town because she's in league with the rich lady? Like there's even an occassion where she straight up murders someone in the amazon camp and gets arrested and 2 seconds later she's out on the street again as if nothing happened, even after the ending nothing happens to her, she gets arrested then leaves, that's it. In spite of all of that you could probably have some fun with the character intreractions, some of them are sweet, and despite everything I do like that characters have their own sexuality preferences, some characters swing both ways, some are only into men or women and you can't get around that, I do however have an issue with everyone referring to me as a binary male or female despite allowing for gender neutral pronouns, it feels a bit hollow to have them if nobody particularly cares anyway. The actual meat of the game is making your way through a 60 floor dungeon, it's pretty tough and quite fun at first but eventually your player power will spike far ahead of the enemies and it becomes a slog, a lot of items or skills straight up break the game (weird fluid for instance is an item that's plentiful and basically kills any enemy in a few turns including the final boss) and eventually you'll find yourself just pacing through the dungeons over and over again to do minor quests or even just get back to where you were. The worst part for me was getting to the final floor then being told I need to come back the next day and just do it again. All in all there is fun to be had here, if I could I would give it a neutral review but steam doesn't allow that, pick it up on a sale if you can but it's a long investment
