DungeonUp

Probably wouldn't recommend this game, and if you're a completionist I would say this is a hard pass. Despite being a rogue-like, the expression for skill ultimately comes down to a lot of luck that the dungeon creates a path towards the equipment that minimizes damage. Real quick explanation of how the game works: Health is a pool (no max, so grabbing health potions is always good if its free), Enemies fight in turn based combat, literal stat check. You attack, they attack, first to lose all their health wins. Opening doors costs keys, which are randomly found along the ground. Red key is used to unlock the boss, which usually has some gimmick to make it harder. New equipment per area (10 floors), always spawn on separate floors, randomly chosen where. Special items drop as well randomly per area. Shop is ~halfway through the area, can be used to buy stats and health. Soul stones (meta progression) are dropped by bosses and can be used to buy special items without having to get them from the dungeon, restarting an area, or reviving. Problems with the game: Obviously, RNG. Sometimes the special item you *need* to win the area with is just straight up unattainable. It'll put an invincible enemy made for you to fight after you've maxed out your stats right next to an item like a red key, making it impossible to fight the boss. Sometimes the keys drop in the most inconvenient places. If you're trying to get certain achievements, it can just straight up be impossible to get if the game chooses to screw you over on any particular floor. It's a dice roll for the entire game and you're hoping you get lucky enough. Most often, though, the problem is that equipment spawns way too deep into a given area. Imagine starting on floor 30, and needing to go to floor 22 to grab a shield. At that point, you need to go through 8 Different floors filled with enemies - all of which deal sizable damage to you - just so you can grab a shield to tank the enemies in the first place. And you can't just ignore it, because the SWORD is locked behind a really tanky enemy that can only be killed if you HAVE the shield. You end up losing so much health you die before getting both. Of course you usually don't even know where it is, so the game expects you to basically read the future to be able to TELL where it is and plan ahead for floors you haven't even seen yet, which is just kind of annoying game-design. The game can also be just unbelievably buggy on the games auxiliary maze mode. Sometimes a red key just *doesn't* spawn. Sometimes the equipment is literally unreachable and the run is over before it even started. If you're a completionist, you're either fighting the games shoddy mechanics or the games glitched map creation. It's unfortunate because it's decent as well. The music is *okay* but nothing worth noting either. You'll notice that a lot of them sound and end the same. Which is probably the best way I'd describe the game itself. It is, as a game, okay but not really worth noting either. It's not bad for $5, but you're probably going to be more frustrated at the game for screwing you over with RNG than enjoying the experience.
