About

"Dungeons & Keyboards" is a typing-based video game where players use their keyboard skills to defeat enemies and progress through randomized word lists. As players level up, they can earn coins and ancient relics to upgrade their offensive and defensive capabilities. The game features five themed levels, three powerful spells to cast, and the option to compete against others on global leaderboards. For an added challenge, players can try the hardcore mode with limited health and resources.

  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as enjoyable and fitting with a cute retro vibe, enhancing the overall experience without being intrusive. Players appreciate the option to turn it off if desired, while the soundtrack contributes to the game's fun and replayability, particularly in modes featuring leaderboards and challenges.

    • “And the music, like an elixir to the soul ensnaring your senses.”
    • “Love the cute retro vibe, the music, and that it's sort of like Typeracer but also very different!”
    • “Beautiful pixel art, good music, and a lot of replayability with leaderboards and a hardcore mode.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game manageable, as the ability to unlock checkpoints after each boss reduces the repetitive effort needed to progress. While some grinding is required, particularly in the tower, the overall experience is seen as rewarding, with hopes for future replayability.

    • “Getting through the primary game is difficult but doable, and the ability to unlock 'checkpoints' after each boss makes challenging the next boss less grinding if you don't have a ton of time.”
    • “1 hour of grinding the tower and the hope for more futures to replay in the future.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as functional but not particularly engaging, as the game's design and user interface limit players' ability to appreciate the surrounding visuals. This focus on gameplay elements detracts from the overall aesthetic experience of the dungeon environment.

    • “The downside of this approach is that you just focus on the actual shown word and lose sight of the dungeon and the little graphics around.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is characterized by its subtlety, reflecting a thoughtful design that prioritizes player experience. Reviewers appreciate the developer's attention to detail, which enhances the overall enjoyment and accessibility for diverse audiences.

    • “From the subtle humor of the game to the accessibility options for dyslexic players, you can truly feel that the developer had the end players in mind while making this game; it was a labor of love.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is criticized for its lack of dynamic mechanics and limited player agency, particularly regarding health management, which can only be adjusted through pre- and post-run upgrades. Overall, players find the experience to be unengaging and repetitive.
