Devious Dungeon 2

In conclusion, Devious Dungeon 2 is an OK sequel to the original. While the original wasn’t really all that special, Devious Dungeon 2 does at least expand on things a bit more to make this a more enjoyable game (six worlds over five being one example), but I still think it pales in comparison to Woblyware’s high points with Omega Strike and League of Evil, since it lacks some of that engagement and is a bit more on the unbalanced side.
