It started off as an interesting concept. A dungeon delver by SE? Why not give it a shot? It started off alright, but after a while, the difficulty curve increased dramatically. As you begin to explore the dungeon, you begin to realize that this seemed to be the skeleton of a future SE game. Limited graphics and limited mechanics really left a lot more to be desired. Save your money and play something else.

For $3.00. this is very well worth its value. Simple, but addictive gameplay.

I've gotten a lot less enjoyment from AAA releases that cost 20x as much!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much RNG to have any kind of strategy. Roll dice and hope the results come up in your favor. Oh, and you will find yourself saying too often, the AI cheats.

A beautifully inspired game with touching moments and an awesome soundtrack. Two ways to play and unforgettable. One of my new Top Ten games of all time.
