Smash Dungeon

Three warriors travelled to the infamous Smash Dungeon. One brought a sword, one brought a gun, and one brought no weapons: just a torch & a few cough drops. They crept in. It was pitch black and stone quiet. They were suddenly starting to regret this challenge. Stupidly, only one brought a torch. The aggressive darkness and inky black yielded with grudging compliance but always seeming to push back. They moved cautiously onward amid the cold air and eeriness. The floor crumbled and cracked. They breathed in tight, quick breaths. You could hear a pin drop. Suddenly, there was a deep moan. "OOOOOOOOUUUUU". It seemed from another room. The dungeon had been abandoned for years. Who or what could make such a sound? The warriors looked at each other, but continued on, hearts pounding in their chests. As they proceeded down to the next floor they encountered a rotten swarm of flies. Buzzing and beating their necks and faces, they rushed and stumbled to the next room, not stopping to see w...

I'm enjoying it so far, it's a bit unforgiving at times, but once you get through the tough parts it feels rewarding, in that respect it's a bit like dark souls, gameplay though is not similar, but is very oldschool, it does play a lot like some of the gauntlet remakes I've played, but has it's own unique spin in the way you collect and use weapons etc. I like the randomly generated levels, stops it from getting too samey.

The game looks good, it's fluid and runs fine on my steamdeck too. Environment, lighting, sound atmosphere is good. It is a bit hard to my taste, dying several time on the same boss without any feeling of progression between runs. Some weapon are clearly more powerful (bow is good but weak against a room of spider, spent 10mn killing them running around, hammer is powerful). I think it needs some balance or some difficulty that could be set or increase manually or automatically. It also lacks some long term goal. Nothing that the developer can't fix I'm sure of it.

So, I like Smash Dungeon. I recorded some of my progress in Smash Dungeon. [b]Please take a look if you value a more Audio / Visual experience, as I discuss the game as I hack, slash and dash my way through it; in some semblance of style perhaps![/b] https://youtu.be/HBNT98szxFM Smash Dungeon is an Indie, Hack and Slash, Action RPG Roguelite that feels like a fusion of a bite sized Diablo or Gauntlet! Smash Dungeon has a focus on fun power-ups, which you can drop to take the dps to the next lvl, when your collected gear is not enough. [h1]The Star of Smash Dungeon Is The Combat![/h1] There is no bump damage here; good! The monsters of Smash Dungeon must actually make an attack animation to hurt you; good, as it should be! Also, the big, beefy hero you are, you physically displace monsters when you walk into them, so push those nasty monsters around and show em who’s da boss! Your melee attack chain changes depending on your equipped weapon, but you can animation cancel out of your ...

Gameplay is smooth and visuals are nice. Small issues here and there that are to be expected but overall good experience and worth a go.

Very nice hack and slash game, a few bugs left like picking up the map item throwing me into lava and keys seem to be dropping from chests a bit too much. The gameplay is very fluid, quick and fun to playthrough exactly what you would want out of it ! Replayable at least once with each weapon I would say :) PS: chickens are op

Very fun game to kill a few hours on, runs very smoothly which is a big plus for this type of game.

Fun time, Definitely appreciate the couch co-op as well. Its unforgiving but thats because it take a bit to get the hang of the melee.

Really enjoyed the game

40/100 ..bad game, bad controls Turns out the negative reviews are spot on and 100% correct! - bad GFX even at Very High/ ULTRA - cluncky controls & you can get stuck in animation - Hitboxes are off -> traps can hurt you even if nearby - no fluent attacks & massive delays show bad UNITY code - dualwield even requires destroying your mouse for combos, otherwise you only attack with offhand - char is weak compared to the enemies - the powerup combat is worse than it sounds! ->> Skip it!! don´t pay for Shareware Alpha builds. This could be much better, if devs had actually invested time and played their game
