- Great adaptation of the physical board game with fun and addictive character progression.
- Offers a nostalgic vibe and a refreshing take on the dungeon crawler genre, with a good balance of skill and randomness.
- High replay value due to its risk management mechanics and the challenge it presents, making each run engaging.
- Frequent crashing and bugs significantly hinder the gameplay experience, making it frustrating for players.

- The game heavily relies on RNG, leading to a punitively random experience that can feel unfair and discouraging.
replayability
2 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game offers solid replayability, particularly through its original mode that captures the board game experience, while the campaign mode allows for character optimization but may feel less replayable due to fixed dungeon seeds. Overall, players can enjoy varied gameplay experiences, catering to different preferences for agency and strategy.
“The game is very fun for something so simple and it does have replay value.”
“This PC edition comes with a campaign mode that allows you to completely optimize your character to win, featuring dungeons with the same seed and a mechanic that lets you fully deck out your character with unlockable shop cards. This smartly caters to players who want more agency, though this mode may be less replayable due to the dungeons having the same seeds. That's when I'd assume you'd transfer to the original mode of the game that perfectly recreates the board game experience.”
“Otherwise, this PC edition comes with a campaign mode which allows you to completely optimize your character to win (dungeons with the same seed and a mechanic that lets you fully deck out your character with unlockable shop cards). However, this mode of play will be less replayable due to the dungeons having the same seeds. That's when I'd assume you'd transfer to the original mode of the game that perfectly recreates the board game experience.”

“The lack of variety in the dungeons makes it hard to stay engaged after the first playthrough.”
