The gameplay of Dungeon Exiles is characterized as a fun and strategic autobattler with RPG mechanics and a Slay the Spire-inspired path system, offering a satisfying experience for players who enjoy min-maxing their builds. However, it suffers from a lack of documentation on its mechanics, leading to confusion, and while engaging initially, the gameplay can become repetitive with limited depth and content over time. Overall, it presents a rich but somewhat unbalanced experience where the impact of player choices is often unclear.
- “Fun autobattler with RPG mechanics and elements and a Slay the Spire path system.”
- “Very fun auto battler with rich mechanics.”
- “Props to the solo dev, good art and gameplay, with a crack fiend dopamine loop where you constantly try and min-max your build to create the perfect run and watch the numbers go up.”
- “My biggest gripe with it is the lack of documentation regarding its mechanics. An obvious example is wondering what's the difference between evade, dodge, parry, and block, which are then subdivided into attack and spell versions.”
- “There are also issues with core gameplay.”
- “There are many mechanics from other games that come together in Dungeon Exile.”
