Critic Reviews
Days of Doom Review (PC)
Days of Doom is a competent combination of rogue-lite elements and turn and tile-driven combat. Battles are tense, especially when bigger and boss enemies arrive, and require players to carefully think about their character’s abilities and positioning. Unfortunately, there’s limited innovation to be found in the engagements and they tend to become repetitive. The grind required to get Renown for upgrades doesn’t help the experience. Days of Doom is a game for to fans of tactics and rogue-lite ideas that want a classic approach for both and don’t mind that the narrative isn’t very engaging. Review key provided by the publisher.

Days of Doom has some interesting ideas, but it starts slow. However, once it gets going it can lead to an enjoyable couple of hours.
