The story in "Mighty Dungeons" is generally considered weak, primarily consisting of basic mission descriptions that serve as excuses for combat in repetitive dungeon settings. While the game offers a nostalgic hero quest feel with numerous quests and campaigns, players note that the narrative lacks depth and polish, often riddled with typos and minimal context. Despite these shortcomings, the gameplay is engaging enough for fans of the genre, and there is potential for community-driven content to enhance the experience.
- “Love the hero quest feel of this game.”
- “Mighty dungeons is one of those games that takes you back to playing hero quest at the table.”
- “The map design is splendid, gives you a path to follow and to reach the destination, and with every quest and campaign it gets bigger and better with new designs and layouts, chests and cabinets and more to loot, monsters everywhere, traps to disarm and secret paths to find.”
- “The story is also lacking in most places, mostly being mission descriptions that give an excuse for why you're hacking up monsters in nearly identical-looking dungeons and short in-mission blurbs often riddled with typos.”
- “While the initial setup promises a lot at first glance with the mission system, after you started playing, clicked around on the goblins sliding at you, then mashed the attack key while listening to the exact same sword noise and annoying grunting noise when your character gets hit, you will want to quit and never touch this game again after a mere few minutes.”
- “I believe Mighty Dungeons was... a bit of a letdown, but don't let that fool you, I still believe that it is a great game with much potential; all you need to do is add a proper storyline and fix some of the stats of characters (stone golem for example) and add their own strong points, weak points, etc.”

The gameplay has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users criticizing it as shallow, repetitive, and overly simplistic, particularly in combat mechanics. While some players appreciate the charm and addictive nature of the game, the majority find it lacking in depth and engagement, leading to a boring experience overall. Issues such as bugs, lack of interesting loot, and a poorly executed combat system further detract from the gameplay experience.
- “The primary gameplay is wandering through a tile-based dungeon, bumping into enemies and then fighting them one on one.”
- “Fantastic little game, played for nearly 4 hours in my first session, very addictive and some really nice mechanics. I love how leveling up your character is linked to the achievements in the game; it really makes you want to get them all to level up.”
- “Started with a barbarian to learn the mechanics.”
- “A bad mobile port with horribly simple gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is too easy and repetitive; it gets really boring after a few minutes of playing.”
- “All in all, I can't recommend this game, mostly because almost all of the game is combat but it doesn't have a very solid combat system, instead having one that quickly devolves into 'hit attack until the enemy dies'... the core gameplay not being fun is the main reason this is a thumbs-down.”

The graphics of the game are generally described as basic and simplistic, reminiscent of older titles like "Temple of Apshai," with a mix of hand-drawn elements that lack refinement. While some players appreciate the straightforward visuals as fitting for a board game adaptation, others criticize the user interface and overall aesthetic as poorly executed and visually unappealing. Overall, the graphics do not significantly enhance the gameplay experience, but they do not detract from it either.
- “Basically a PC graphic for a board game in a very well done format.”
- “Graphics are good, but basic (don't expect next generation graphics, but the game doesn't need them!).”
- “Visuals are very basic, but do not detract from the dungeon crawling experience.”
- “The game is badly built, the menus barely work, the UI is an abomination and the graphics are a mishmash of hand-drawn and badly refined pictures of different resolutions and styles; there are enough primary colors to make your eye bleed and a sound design that will make you mute the whole game after a minute.”
- “Graphically, the game is rather boring and repetitive... until the last campaign, which has some issues with the tileset at times (external walls not being visible until the inside of the building is visible in the town maps, for instance) as well as some minor issues with how tightly-packed some of the maps are, but which is way more visually impressive than the rest of the game.”
- “The graphics are pretty basic 2D graphics.”

The game's stability is criticized for being buggy and of poor quality, which detracts from its otherwise charming and simplistic design. While some users find it a better alternative to similar titles, they still note that it requires further testing to address these stability issues.
- “Too buggy and poor quality.”
- “Still needs some testing; it can be buggy.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game manageable, as achieving 100% completion is not overly difficult, though some achievements require significant effort. The option to repeat quests adds a layer of challenge, as enemies become tougher and rewards decrease with each repetition, discouraging excessive farming for resources.
- “Fun little RPG, not too hard to get 100% of the achievements, but a few require some grinding.”
- “Additionally, you can repeat quests as often as you like, but with each repeat, the monsters get significantly tougher and the rewards diminish to prevent over-farming for gold runs.”
humor

The game's humor is characterized by its playful and overt copyright violations, which many players find amusing, particularly through the inclusion of familiar characters from various franchises. The hidden campaign cleverly mirrors classic missions from HeroQuest, adding an extra layer of humor to the experience.
- “Last but not least, this game loves hilariously blatant copyright violations, which I found kind of amusing. The hidden campaign is almost exactly the original 12 missions from HeroQuest translated to the game's format, and there are cameo appearances by Drizzt Do'Urden, Raistlin Majere, Liliana Vess, and Sephiroth.”
- “Some added humor!”

- “The audio is adequate in providing some old-timey, darker dungeon-crawling music and fight sound effects, but it's not something that will make you crave the original soundtrack.”
- “Good sound effects and soundtracks that suit the game just right.”
- “The audio is adequate in providing some old-timey or darker dungeon-crawling music and fight sound effects, but it's nothing that will make you crave the original soundtrack.”
- “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it easy to tune out during gameplay.”
- “While the sound effects are decent, the overall music composition fails to create an engaging atmosphere.”
