Just not a good game. I thought it be cool to not have the tile dancing but you just star at your portraits clicking your attacks. Its just a worse turnbased or active combat game. Many other better dungeon crawlers.

scratched my itch for a dungeon blobber. Quite short, linear, shame it wasnt developed further, but still fun

Unlike the previous dungeon crawler I played, Fall of the Dungeon Guardian, which by the way, both this game and that game are sold in a bundle along with other dungeon crawlers as well, this game is extremely short. It takes roughly 4-5 hours to finish this game. Now I gotta ask you, did you just recently play old Might and Magic games and would like some more Dungeon Crawlers? Do you find Fall of Dungeon...

Ah! The perfect game to satisfy that nostalgic need for classic dungeon crawlers. Simple, atmospheric, and hits all the right retro notes. I really enjoy the party composition—it's not overcomplicated, yet still provides enough options to choose from! The balance between spellcasting, melee, and ranged combat feels spot on; it doesn't overcomplicate things and mainly demands good timing with your clicks. Another...

I'm only recommending this game because of the price. The price makes it worthwhile because it's a very simple game. You go into a dungeon and see how far you can go. No going back to town and the only gear is what you find. it's fun for a while. But, it's frustrating when you get wiped because there's not much you can do about it. It's action combat, but there's no keybinds for attacking. You have to mouse click...

Monkey Tavern is a dungeon crawler that is suitable for people that does not have ample time for puzzles. It is short and it does it job. Even leveling up you have no control on what stats to increase or what skills to pick. It is all auto. There are 8 classes to choose from for players to mix and match but you indeed need a healer for some of the tougher fights as there is no item shop and potions are limited. Very...

I really enjoyed this game. It won't win any awards for having the most involved systems, the most in-depth character progression, and there is no story to speak of. But it has great atmosphere, really good music, and satisfying power increases as you acquire loot and level-up. If you're a veteran of dungeon crawlers, if you want hours and hours of highly variable gameplay, if you want an in-depth combat and...

Challenging and fun game. Love the puzzles, traps and battles. It takes some time to get used to the mechanics, e.g. only 1 or 2 spells available to casters at a time (unless you take the time to change in the middle of combat which is not recommended). My only complaint is that there seems to be inordinate amount of heavy armor when only a few classes are even able to use it. Not a deal breaker. It is...

This has the makings of a good little dungeon crawler. Visuals are nice, flow is very similar to Eye of the Beholder (and similar). Not heavy on the puzzles.... However, one aspect makes me downvote this game. Spells. You can only equip ONE spell in each hand. "Thats pretty normal for a game like this" you might say... however, there is not quick or simple way to swap them out during combat. Even super old dungeon...

Right off, it says it has no executable. Something about it not being completed for Linux. Proton it is, then! Once I get the game running, I find out that I simply cannot play this without getting sick almost immediately. There is no option to disable the head bobbing, nor the zoom in then out when testing for false walls, both of which just make me feel ill quickly. I also could not get my keyboard controls to...
