Mixed: 5 out of Negative: 0 out of If you've ever felt the need to crawl a dungeon, this one is most definitely for you, as it serves as both an excellent "my first roguelike" and a challenging quest for the experienced spelunker. All this publication's reviews Read full review. A fun game, especially for rogue-like veterans, who will get its dry British wit and genre in-jokes. The game is basically the next generation of the true rogue-like, much like Fatal Labyrinth was before it.
Dungeons of Dredmor's voluminous depths are littered with an abundance of wacky treasure to horde and enticing weaponry to cleaving all sorts of evil beasties in twain with. I'm quite taken with this roguelike; it feels like a game that came out of nowhere and hits all of the dungeon-crawl buttons -- steep challenge, lots of loots, and a ton of monsters. Throw in its humor and soundtrack and you've got a roguelike that should appeal to anyone who likes a good dungeon-crawl. It's mean-spirited, dizzyingly deep, and snarkily nostalgic all at once - and those are just the skills and attributes I look for in a roguelike.
RPG Fan. Dungeons of Dredmor isn't without problems, but the good humour and addictive gameplay make it an amiable purchase. It might not be to everyone's tastes, and the random generation can be frustrating, but for only a few dollars it's pretty easy to recommend. Dungeons of Dredmor is like a year-round tyre: it will do its job but no one is going to be enthusiastic about it.
Masochists will find this game too soft, while common gamers will find no amusement at all. User Reviews. Write a Review.

If you enjoy roguelikes, or are interested in them in the slightest, this game is worth checking out. This game is difficult, and you will die a lot , but that makes it that much more fun and rewarding.
The dialogue is humorous and riddled with references that will easily get a laugh out of you. The game also has hand-drawn graphics that make the experience all the more enjoyable which is doubly worth noting, considering most roguelikes use ASCII or low-res tilesets. Dungeons of Dredmor is, without a doubt, worth the asking price; it is a high-quality game that will keep you entertained for hours.
Gaslamp Games has a ton of potential, and are definitely a developer to keep an eye on for any of their future releases. And you will die. For instance, the game comes with a tutorial designed for people who have never played a video game before in their life. I died in there twice. The game congratulated me for dying then gave me a Steam Achievement for it meaning the devs not only know you can die in there So plentiful in fact you will quickly learn to stop picking up things that do not suit your character's build.
The game has a crafting system for food, potions, armor, weapons, traps, etc. And a few shops located around should you choose to buy items. Alec: That's a good thing to do in this particular roguelike, because there isn't a need to eat and therefore risk of starving.
The earlier you descend to another level, the less equipped you'll be for it. So being a completionist does pay. The downside being that the longer you spend with a character, the more you have to lose. John: I've literally only looked at the third floor.
But found myself perfectly content repeating the first two over and over, trying to clear every room. I appear to have rediscovered my childhood ability to only play the first two screens of something like Chuckie Egg 2, and be okay with that. Alec: Yeah, I'm never really thinking about my progress through the dungeon. I'm just thinking about levelling up my character, smithing new weapons, buying specific thing x Which, I think, is at least partly the point.
It's a survival saga more than it is a victory saga. John: Yeah, that makes sense. What sort of starting character do you tend to pick? Or do you vary? Oh, and the one where you generate mana with each kill. What about you? John: I have avoided magic and crafting, and gone for weapons abilities. Plus always, always vampirism. I'm not sure how it's possible to play without it.
Alec: I tried that for a while, but ended up in too many situations where there was nothing I could safely fight to get health, and of course I couldn't use potions. You should try the magic. There's healing spells down the fleshsmithing tree. Alec: And mathemagic has a random teleporation spell which is a neat way of getting out of trouble. Or into it. John: I'm really impressed by how much the levels vary each time.
It surprises me by how different it can be to play. There was a spectacular moment when I opened a door and revealed a chamber that had perhaps a hundred monsters in it. I knew there was no hope. But it was fun trying. Alec: Ah, the monster zoos. Surviving one of those is a hell of a feeling.
There's a rare crossbow ammo type with a mininuke strapped to it. That's what you need for those. Also, the rogue skills eventually allow you to pick up traps, which are incredibly useful in that kind of event.
John: I do get a bit cross with how buggy closing doors is though. Alec: Yeah, the camera angle strikes me as not quite right. Home » Dungeons of Dredmor — Review. Have your say! You May Also Like.
