  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Doom and Destiny" and "Doom and Destiny Advanced" is characterized by a humorous and wacky narrative, appealing to fans of turn-based JRPGs. However, the latest installment features a more open-world and crafting-focused approach, resulting in less emphasis on story and dialogue, which some players find detracts from the overall experience. While there are quests to complete, the crafting system can slow down story progression, leaving players hoping for more narrative depth as they navigate the game.

    • “For those new to the DOD series, do yourself a favor and check out 'Doom and Destiny' and 'Doom and Destiny Advanced'; they're a steal even when not on sale and well worth the many hours of story building and laughs they offer!”
    • “The other two were more along the lines of turn-based JRPG style with wacky storylines.”
    • “Good game, a lot of places to explore and various things to craft, but there is much less story and dialogue compared to the previous games, which was to be expected for an open-world/crafting game.”
    • “The puzzles are pretty straightforward so far, but the crafting really drags out progressing the story, especially when your weapons and armor break and you have to make new ones.”
    • “Still hoping for more story to come, but since I don't play crafting games often, it may take me a while.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its cheeky writing and relatable dialogue among the four nerd protagonists, who are humorously mistaken for heroes. While the comedic elements may be hit or miss, they effectively capture the creators' personality and charm, enhancing the overall engagement with the game. The blend of fourth wall breaks and nerd culture references adds a unique flavor to the experience, making it enjoyable for fans of quirky humor.

    • “It's such a unique turn-based game concept; the humor in the characters is also great.”
    • “Very different from the first two games, yet it still manages to capture the personality and humor of the creators that keeps me engaged!”
    • “In Doom & Destiny Worlds, you play as four nerds who get mistaken for heroes and sent to another world to save the day in an open world, crafting RPG that has a cheeky sense of humor and loads of fourth wall breaks.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a mix of open-world survival and RPG mechanics, offering a wealth of activities that make it addictive and enjoyable. While the base game is solid on its own, the DLCs introduce new mechanics and challenges that enhance the experience, although some players feel that the new combat mechanics have declined compared to earlier titles. Overall, the turn-based gameplay is retained but is complemented by innovative systems that improve the overall playthrough.

    • “The base game serves perfectly by itself, but those looking for more nerdtastic fun would be well served to splurge on the season pass, because each DLC introduces new mechanics, challenges, characters, locations, items, gear, and more!”
    • “Different from the first two games, this one is an open-world survival with RPG mechanics. It's very cool and enjoyable, with a lot of things to do—addictive.”
    • “Turn-based gameplay remains, but we got an amazing new system and mechanics that work well in playthrough.”
    • “New combat mechanics suck. I can't believe it; they only make it worse and worse with each game. The first one is still the best.”
  • grinding

Overall, while grinding can enhance the experience for some, it often detracts from enjoyment for others.

    • “I find the item durability to be fairly frustrating and it really slows down the pace of exploring and farming for materials.”
