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.

  • Fun and addictive 2D RPG platformer with simple and smooth gameplay, suitable for casual play sessions.
  • Offers three distinct playable classes (Barbarian, Rogue, Mage) with unique abilities enhancing replayability.
  • Includes RPG elements like leveling up, weapon and armor upgrades, quests, mini-bosses, and diverse dungeon areas, with charming pixel art and good music.
  • Lacks key features such as key re-binding and has awkward control schemes, causing frustration especially for some keyboard layouts and controller users.
  • Technical issues including input lag, stuttering, and poor PC port quality detract from gameplay experience.
  • Repetitive and unbalanced gameplay with procedural generation resulting in boring level design, excessive grinding, weak progression systems, and some unfair enemy hitboxes and mechanics.

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 10% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The game features retro pixel art graphics that evoke a nostalgic, 8-bit style, which some find charming and enjoyable, though others view it as outdated with limited customization options. While the visuals are generally considered average, the artwork is praised for its appeal and variety across locations and enemies. Overall, the graphics complement the game’s style but lack advanced settings or modern enhancements.

    • “All things considered, this is an enjoyable game; the music is fantastic and graphics are lovely!”
    • “Cool 8-bit graphics.”
    • “As usual, Woblyware delivers fun pixel graphics for enemy units and NPCs.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low quality graphics.”

  • gameplay

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The gameplay is solid and engaging, offering a familiar platformer experience with a slight twist through the choice of three different heroes. While it doesn't introduce many new mechanics, the content is well-implemented and provides a challenging and enjoyable experience. Overall, it maintains a strong core gameplay that appeals to fans of the genre.

    • “This time it has a twist – you can select one of three heroes, slightly altering the gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay: Devious Dungeon 2’s main attraction is its gameplay and features. Although there is not much added to the game yet, the amount of content that is available is well implemented.”
    • “It’s well planned and engaging, and the base gameplay is solid and enjoyable.”
    • “Basically everything after an hour of gameplay.”
    • “The core gameplay is the same as always – it’s your next door platformer.”
    • “The base gameplay is nothing new, with arrow keys to move and space & x to jump.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's story is largely undermined by repetitive procedural generation and a lack of meaningful level design, leading to limited quest variety and ultimately tedious grinding. However, some elements, like the town-based quests and NPC interactions during boss fights, add minor narrative and gameplay interest. Overall, the story feels weak and underdeveloped, relying more on upgrades and combat than engaging plot content.

    • “Nice story”
    • “Imagine the boss is huge and surrounded by a big raid from town; there are villagers or any type of NPC that fits the story pulling ballistas from the sides of the screen, others shoot arrows.”
    • “Completing quests for the town (like slaying certain monsters or things) pays money, and of course monsters carry coins, too.”
    • “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procedural generation algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design.”
    • “You'll run out of quests eventually, meaning all you have left is grinding for money; 100% completion will be boring.”
    • “- Imagine the boss is huge and surrounded by a big raid from town, there are villagers or any type of NPC that fits the story pulling ballistas from the sides of the screen, others shoot arrows.”

  • music

    • “The music is fantastic and complements the lovely graphics perfectly.”
    • “Theme-appropriate music and sound effects enhance the game experience.”
    • “Good artwork, music, and sound with varied locations and enemies make the game addictive.”
    • “Mediocre music, at least it is not annoying.”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is extensive and repetitive, especially after completing all quests, leaving players with tedious level farming and money grinding for 100% completion. This makes the experience feel like a time-waster rather than engaging progress.

    • “You'll run out of quests eventually, meaning all you have left is grinding for money. Achieving 100% completion will be boring.”
    • “It's also incredibly grindy, so do not buy this unless you're looking for a time-waster.”
    • “It appears every challenge can be solved by level farming and coming back later.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization of Devious Dungeon 2 is widely criticized as a lazy cash grab, with users feeling that its transition from mobile to Steam lacks value and effort.
