Great game!

Update: beaten the game. Removed a star as the game becomes WAY TOO EASY halfway through. Armor, chain lightning, and mine/bomb spells make you very OP. I just started running through the motions and 1hit killing bosses... Kinda roguelike without the permanent death. Unique style and soundtrack. Only complaint would be the ambiguous elements in the game that lacks any in-depth explanations. But I guess that adds to the fun of it as well.

Right Up My Alley

BlakedamonAg

I just stumbled across this game while looking up another similar app, Hoplite I think. I love this type of strategy game, but I can say I'm getting eye strain from playing on my iPhone for so long. Worth the $1.99 for sure. Should be listed in little known games lists since it has been around for awhile but with so few reviews. I like the simple artwork and music as well. Masterpiece. Probably won't happen but I'd like to see an addition to the dungeons or a part 2. I'd pay another $2. Edit: as another reviewer alluded to balance could be considered an issue. Takes a long time to collect enough coin to equip with armor, then once equipped the game become a bit too easy which nullifies the best quality of the game ... Strategy. One fix is to reframe from equipping. So still 5 stars all the way, just remove "masterpiece" until balance is updated or part 2 is released.

This game is easily in my app store top 5 and I've played hundreds of iOS games. Terrific.

Ridiculously addictive

I played this a year ago and got completely addicted. I forgot all about this game until just now when I randomly found it. It is so good that I refuse to download it again. If you've never tried it, be careful it is crazy addictive!

Lots of grinding

I didn't find a lot of opportunities for strategy in this game. It's more about playing stages over and over to level up your character and buy stat boosting gear -- all so you can move to the next stage and do it again. Grinding became kind of a grind. Very cool art style and mostly intuitive to play though.

Different but not better

Vlouie

There is no challenge, penalty, or difficulty in this game. U can beat any stage with any setup and have a blast. Sometimes there are bugs and u waste 3 mins trying to complete a level. There is no story line or clear objective as why you are doing anything. Thus, the game becomes tedious and you slowly realize you are just wasting time. Uninstalled.

Tap n Slash Greatness

One thing I have learned from using Amazon and Apple, is that one can rely on the reviews. If someone is going to take the time to write something, anything, about something, in this day and age- it should be important. For that reason I am pausing from the usual hack and slash of this blog, to revierw a great app- Dungeonism. This game is a modern roguel-like, though some would say it is a rogue-like as it is rather forgiving. In the game you play an adventurer traversing a strange and distant land filled with monsters of all sorts. Truly the classics are represented here: bats, ogres, golems, spirits, ghosts- the archetypal dungeon types. Rivers and crevisses flow throughout the screen, mazes and puzzles challenge the dungeoneer. The music is great, the sound is appropriate and tends to release that rush of dopamine. The character can buy equipment, collect treasure and choose to increase a variety of skills with experience points. By far the best thing about Dungeonism, is the graphics- not your usual fantasy pixel but a very stream-lined neon-like world. Once the player stops missing those video games of the 80's, they can sit back and really enjoy the experience of the game. The only thing missing from Dungeonism is perhaps harder enemies or levels and no doubt the game needs more levels, though there are over a hundred screens to adventure through. For that last and only last reason, I give the game 4.5 stars. If it expands and becomes just a bit harder it would join that elite group- the only game I would have on my phone. The other being Dungeon Raid. Anyone notice a pattern?

Buggy

Played from start and got through forest 1 and 2, seems great. Forest 3 crashes randomly by showing part of a broken looking map that I can't move within. Please fix

Game breaking bug.

CoolStory375

The game seems cool, but you can't get too far in a dungeon before the camera just bugs out entirely and you can't do anything except leave the dungeon. Rarely you might be able to recover from it, but besides those instances this bug effectively breaks the game. Seems like a cool game so far, but I can only play so much of it before it's broken by the camera bug.

Great game! Been playing for years

This is worth money and a download. There’s a slight learning curve but after that it’s pretty deep turn based RPG with excellent style
