graphics3 negative mentions

Simple and addictive roguelite dungeon crawler gameplay similar to games like Dungelot and Runestone Keeper, suitable for casual, short bursts of play.
Bright and decent 2D graphics with appealing monster art and satisfactory music and sound effects.
Reasonably priced and enjoyable for fans of medieval and vampire themes, offering some strategic elements in progressing through levels.

Shallow game experience with repetitive grinding and lack of depth, including a confusing micro-currency system and limited strategic gameplay.
Technical issues and bugs, such as non-working fullscreen mode, resetting sound settings, unresponsive controls, and poor UI design with small hitboxes.
Lack of polish with issues like absence of enemy HP display, no save option, predictable dungeon layouts, and an energy system inappropriate for a paid PC game.

The graphics receive mixed feedback: some users find the 2D visuals simplistic, lackluster, and unimproved by resolution scaling, likening the presentation to a slideshow, while others appreciate the bright colors and monster artwork. Overall, the graphics are seen as mediocre but passable.
- “Graphics are fairly nice, very bright, and I like them.”
- “Good graphics (I especially like the monster art) and music.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.”
- “While the artwork itself, though mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some users finding it unremarkable or annoying due to volume resetting between stages, while others appreciate the sound effects and overall soundtrack. However, frequent automatic reactivation of music and sound effects can be bothersome to players wanting to customize their audio experience.
- “Good graphics (I especially like the monster art) and music.”
- “Cool music and sound effects.”
- “Every time the game transitioned stages (character screen to game or back) the music would come back on and the sound effects never went off.”
- “Third is what everyone's been saying: when the game refreshes itself, it doesn't remember the data for sound volume, so it ends up resetting to defaults. This can get grating as the music isn't the best and can be annoying when you want to listen to something else while you play.”
- “The music is there, and it does not add much to the game.”

The story in the game is minimal and not a key focus, with some users noting it lacks depth or engagement. Additionally, a bug related to quest progression affected the gameplay experience. Overall, the narrative is underwhelming and seems secondary to other game elements.
- “Dungeons & vampires is, well, the story of my life.”
- “Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
- “There is not much of a story, which is also not very important for this game.”
- “[0.2] game story”

- “Well addictive game in the gameplay flavour of Dungelot/Runestone Keeper and similar games; if you liked those, you will like this.”
- “This mobile app is supposed to be some kind of 'roguelike' dungeon crawler, but in Rogue you had the ability to move around and deep inventory management and other RPG gameplay.”

grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The game is heavily criticized for its excessive and monotonous grinding, which overshadows its good ideas and strategic potential, making gameplay tedious and seemingly designed to encourage microtransactions.
- “Boring gameplay held tight just for 15 minutes, with insane grinding backed up by achievements.”
- “This game is a pile of good ideas haphazardly thrown in a heap and glued together with grinding.”
- “There's no strategy, just constant grinding, grinding, grinding.”
monetization
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game's monetization is heavily tied to microtransactions, with overall progress dependent on them, despite the current version lacking microtransactions. This design choice may negatively impact the gameplay experience.
- “Even though there are no microtransactions in this version, all progress in this game is wrapped around the microtransaction system.”
