  • story
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and well-designed, featuring lovable characters and multiple endings, though it is often overshadowed by excessive grinding that detracts from the overall experience. Players appreciate the interesting plot twists and character interactions, but many feel that the grind hampers their ability to fully immerse themselves in the narrative. Overall, while the story has its strengths, the balance between gameplay and storytelling could be improved to enhance player engagement.

    • “The story is engaging and long; the grind is not overly annoying, the difficulty is quite balanced, and all of the unique mechanics are well implemented, providing a different experience.”
    • “The story has multiple endings that can be unlocked by making specific choices throughout the game.”
    • “However, you won’t be able to defeat the succubus on your own; there are ten recruitable heroines with a place in the story, and a big part of the game is developing your relationship with the cast, which progresses the story and unlocks new skills.”
    • “The grind is so horrible in this game that it takes the focus of the story and gameplay away from the game itself.”
    • “I feel like I'm not progressing or accomplishing my goals as a player, and I honestly have no clue what to do. Quests are piling up, and there's just no idea what I'm really doing.”
    • “The characters are really well designed, and I want to get hooked on the story, but I'm wasting more time grinding than focusing on the story.”
  • gameplay
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this ero game features innovative mechanics like "intimate mode" and "ripped clothes," enhancing the dungeon-crawling experience. While the core loop of leveling up and strategizing in battles is engaging, some players find the grind tedious and the gameplay can become repetitive over time. Overall, it successfully combines solid mechanics with an engaging story, though a restoration patch is recommended to fully enjoy the experience.

    • “The core gameplay loop involves going into a dungeon, gaining levels, and losing levels by the end of the game (but keeping your stats you only get for every new level you gain), which is rogue-like.”
    • “The story is engaging and long, the grind is not overly annoying, the difficulty is quite balanced, and all of the unique mechanics are well implemented, providing a different experience.”
    • “Don't know what to say other than a very enjoyable core gameplay loop that keeps me engaged with the game even when there aren't any distractions on screen.”
    • “The grind is so horrible in this game that it takes the focus of the story and gameplay away from the game itself.”
    • “This game's time mechanic is very bad!”
    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay becomes stale after a few hours.”
  • grinding
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, often consuming a large portion of playtime—up to 90%—with players feeling it detracts from the story and character development. While some find the mindless grinding enjoyable and necessary for progression, others resort to cheats to alleviate the repetitive nature of leveling and resource gathering. Overall, the grinding can be a polarizing element, appealing to some while frustrating others.

    • “Not too grindy, but skills and items are fairly needed to progress.”
    • “The characters are really well designed and I want to get hooked on the story, but I'm wasting more time grinding than focusing on the story.”
    • “Feels like a high production value game, and the main drawback is that grinding for quests takes forever (hope you remember where literally every enemy is and have the right RNG to meet them).”
    • “Like 90% of the game is either grinding levels or grinding enemy drops for weapons, quests, armor, or grinding out character quests.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is a standout feature, offering a diverse and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the variety of tracks that match different moods and settings, from mysterious melodies in the fairy forest to character-specific themes that reflect their personalities. Overall, the well-crafted music contributes significantly to the game's immersive quality.

    • “The music part was also another pleasant surprise, starting with the initial menu which has no music, only forest sound effects, but as soon as we go through the first menu, we are greeted by a large repertoire of songs that make up the pleasant soundtrack throughout the game.”
    • “The soundtrack is nice to listen to and helps build the atmosphere of the scenes.”
    • “It’s also pretty varied, featuring songs that give a mysterious vibe when exploring the fairies’ forest; gloomy tracks during the darker moments of the game; or jazzy tracks when it’s time to get down and dirty.”
    • “The music is quite varied, featuring songs that give a mysterious vibe when exploring the fairies' forest, gloomy tracks during the darker moments of the game, or jazzy tracks when it's time to get down and dirty.”
    • “Each character has themes fitting with their personalities and backgrounds, like a harpsichord track for the rich, sheltered girl, an upbeat track for the bartender, or a military-like song for the female knight.”
    • “While the artwork, dialogue, and gameplay are commendable, the music feels lackluster and fails to enhance the overall experience.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as poor and average compared to the overall quality of the game. While the artwork does not stand out, it is noted that the game excels in other areas such as gameplay and music, which may overshadow the visual shortcomings.

    • “The artwork, dialogue, music, and gameplay in Dungeon Town is one of those rare eroge that isn't just good in spite of its genre, but embraces its roots and creates a super memorable game in doing so.”
    • “Do not buy as the graphics are really poor.”
    • “Unfortunately, the artwork, much like the sound, is fairly average, again, made all the more obvious for being surrounded by excellence.”
    • “The graphics are lackluster and do not meet the expectations set by other elements of the game.”
  • humor

The art style, reminiscent of Touhou, adds a whimsical charm, with some character designs eliciting laughter, particularly in their playful and innocent scenarios.

    • “Their antics are pretty funny.”
  • atmosphere
