    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by its simplicity and lack of depth, leading to a repetitive experience that may not justify its length. While some mechanics are enjoyable and the retro graphics appeal to fans of classic FPS games, many players find the overall gameplay to be bland, unbalanced, and lacking in variety. Despite some redeeming qualities, such as solid movement and combat mechanics, the game struggles to maintain player engagement over time, making it more suitable for casual play rather than deep exploration.

    • “But it has all the key elements of a quality roguelike/roguelite, and they're well-done - interesting randomized levels, quality loot/equipment, a decent variety of enemies, and, most importantly, solid movement and combat mechanics.”
    • “Easy to learn gameplay, no story needed and a very lovely art style.”
    • “The game has simple, yet well-working gameplay, beautiful retro visuals and decent sound effects.”
    • “Limp and sluggish gameplay, little to no sensations, lackluster sound design and audio cues (enemies hidden in corners making no noise...), boring dungeons that are all more or less the same but somehow get progressively more annoying.”
    • “It's too long to be a game to just pick up and play for a few minutes or so, but the gameplay isn't deep enough to really justify the game length.”
    • “The core gameplay is really bland, if not a little too dated; it's a first-person shooter, and you've got a melee weapon and a staff. The starting melee weapon does poor damage, and you probably won't kill anything with it, and the staff drains your crystals, which are basically your mana, way too quickly.”
  • graphics
    77 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are a mix of retro-inspired pixel art and low-resolution visuals, which some players find charming and reminiscent of classic first-person shooters like Doom, while others criticize them as primitive and lacking detail. The pixelated aesthetic is appreciated for its nostalgic appeal, but many reviews highlight that the graphics can feel repetitive and uninspired, especially with similar dungeon themes throughout. Overall, while the graphics may cater to fans of old-school styles, they may not meet the expectations of players seeking modern visual standards.

    • “I love the pixelated graphics here, and the changing themes of the dungeon as you advance through it was pretty cool.”
    • “Old school pixel-art graphics, FPS style roguelike gameplay, procedurally generated levels... what more could you ask for in a dungeon adventure.”
    • “One more dungeon has a very charming aesthetic with pixel graphics in a 3D environment.”
    • “The graphics are painfully bad, and after beating each level you basically play through it again because they look exactly the same.”
    • “The game looks like we went back straight to 1992 and played Wolfenstein 3D, but with even more pixelated graphics.”
    • “The graphics are intentionally 2D chic, stylistically ugly on purpose, but that is pretty common.”
  • music
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and poorly suited to the game's style, often describing it as generic or reminiscent of low-quality stock tracks. Others appreciate the soundtrack for its light-hearted tone and atmospheric qualities, though many agree that it lacks variety and can become tiresome during extended play. Overall, while some enjoy the music, a significant number of players find it disappointing and forgettable.

    • “Oh, and the music rocks.”
    • “Special shout-out to the musical score, it sets the perfect light-hearted tone for this kind of game.”
    • “Very well made dungeon crawler with pixel graphics and a cool soundtrack.”
    • “There's also no music and the sound effects are sadly just as poor as the graphics.”
    • “That soundtrack got on my nerves quickly, and it's the only song that plays throughout. Not only does it not sound good, but it doesn't even sound like it was made for this game; it sounds like a stock, low-quality Newgrounds cowboy game. I understand not every developer is a master at music, but you couldn't even get a stock 8-bit dungeon track to actually complement the style?”
    • “The music is not really gripping; I switched to one of my own playlists after a while. It could've been Mozart, and it wouldn't change my opinion.”
  • story
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game lacks a substantial story, with many players noting that it primarily focuses on gameplay rather than narrative. While some appreciate the enjoyable mechanics and visuals, they express disappointment over the absence of a meaningful plot, with comments suggesting that even a minimal storyline would enhance the experience. Overall, players seeking a deep narrative may find the game lacking, but those looking for straightforward gameplay may still enjoy it.

    • “Good gameplay, awesome visuals, and a loose, mysterious 'story' make for a great game you can 'waste' an entire evening with.”
    • “There are a small handful of monsters, few treasures, no real plot other than 'survive'... and yet, the game is just like its title - you do want to play just 'one more dungeon!' and before you know it, you've been playing a lot longer than you thought you would!”
    • “Players looking for deep mechanics and a storyline may wish to give this game a pass, but if it's a quick and easy game to play while killing time, or even a bit of adventure before bed you're looking for, you will feel right at home with.”
    • “Having absolutely no story whatsoever, all the info we get from the store page of the game is that we play as a 'nameless adventurer' who must escape from a dungeon by reaching the bottom level and use a teleporter.”
    • “It really is a shame that the game has no plot and the graphics are so primitive, since the gameplay can be enjoyable.”
    • “I think if there was a story (there's not) I'd have reason to keep going, but since there's not I played the game for one session and have only played 2 more times since.”
  • replayability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the random level generation and variety, many feel it lacks lasting appeal and memorability. Several reviews highlight issues with repetitive combat and unbalanced mutators, which detract from the overall experience. Although some find value in the content for the price, others suggest that once the game is completed, there isn't much incentive to return.

    • “Be cautious with this game, it's very hard but very good and has some nice replayability.”
    • “A fairly cheap and simple roguelite with more than enough content and replayability to justify the price.”
    • “I also like the idea of mutators to add additional replay value; I'd just wish that 'broken cartridge' would be glitchier.”
    • “Yes, the levels are randomly generated, but that doesn't really help to give the game much in replay value.”
    • “While it seemingly offers large amounts of variety and replayability, it loses a rather important factor due to its nature: being memorable.”
    • “With dull and repetitive combat, next to no replayability and balancing issues, it is a game that's only positive is that it can at rare times be fun, when playing on easy.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and punishing, with long and repetitive combat sequences that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The grind can feel long and tedious, yet it offers a sense of accomplishment.”
    • “One long, tedious grind.”
    • “The combat gets really tedious and exploring each level takes too long.”
    • “Grinding through the first level after just a couple mistakes is punishing, and doesn't make me want to stretch to get to higher levels.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it bland and lacking depth, while others appreciate the art style and atmospheric soundtrack that contribute to a sense of tension.

    • “+ great atmosphere”
    • “Art style is great, and the atmosphere and environmental sound effects are pretty good.”
    • “The boring gameplay and non-existent atmosphere equate this to a very good looking, found in an alleyway dumpster kind of game.”
    • “Bland atmosphere that doesn't add to the experience.”
