About This Game

Take the role as a liquidator descending down the sewers and beyond to destroy an old abandoned nuclear core. The core is a relic from an old, failed experiment where the goal was to mutate creatures and use them as weapons. But... the mutants wouldn't be controlled and the government abandoned the project, sealing off every entrance. They deny any involvement. However, the mutants are still down there, gradually making their way up... Unless, you can destroy the core?!



Dungeon Core is a challenging roguelite top-down shooter that has an "all-hope-is-lost"-vibe, but is it?

Features
  • Permanent upgrades to help you on your journey
  • A dozen of weapons that can be upgraded with stats
  • Lots of items & upgrades
  • Unique dungeons each time you play
  • Multiple themes
  • Play with mouse/keyboard or a controller

I just got done last month with Undermine (80 plus hours) loved it, was looking for something new. This showed up in my feed some how and it looked interesting. Roguelite - Top Down Shooter, let's check this out. Super fun combat twin stick style for your weapons with a nice feel. Roguelite grind which early on can be a little hard til you get the permanent upgrades going. The more upgrades the easier things start getting. Balance and some bug fixes need to be addressed but for EA got a gem here that just needs a little polish. Edit: Getting really addicted to this game, new enemies,cool boss,new items, for EA it's really got the core mechanics down.Going to sound like a broken record here but I swear the dev/s must be related to the Undermine devs, I mean this in the best possible way, the game is it's own game for sure,but it does so many things right like Undermine. Check back soon just got to do one more run, this one is going to be THE one.

Decent rogue-lite with a solid foundation when it comes to gameplay and visual clarity, that being said, it takes good ideas from other games and adds nothing unique to the formula, which is fine unless you like me and looking for more innovation in the genre. I would like to see more active abilities, perhaps in a form of sub-weapons with a cooldown, right now you are limited to alternating between 2 weapons. It does not have a ton of content, but the difficulty of the last section will keep you grinding for stats. There are many temporary and permanent upgrades, granted most of them are passive or have a passive effect that triggers under certain condition, which again, is not an active ability that I can use. So far the weapons are not very exciting, while you can get the generic arsenal from pistols to lasers, I am yet to find anything that really stands out. When you die you keep a portion of your money which can be used in the hub to unlock permanent upgrades like health, damag...

So i managed to beat the game after 3 weeks from buying it... I must say that it wasn't long at all but very difficult, took me 3 weeks to arrive at 2nd boss and beat him, from there it went quite quick. Once you are powered up game's not that difficult anymore and is very enjoyable. For the price you get a decent game, not that long, but quite fun to learn.

Not sure where to start but this game needs a lot of more content and overall polish. Basically I have finished this game after 5hours, its pretty fast as for rogue like with very grindy permament upgrades. Things that are not ok: - hitboxes for laser weapons. I just hate to shoot through the enemy with big charged laser to see that my hit was not registered. - weapon recoil: Yes it should be there, but not for bow, six shooter (or any other slow shooting gun) where you need to aim perfectly. It just makes them horrible. - upgrade system: You collect 'money' for shooting things, you can spend them in the shop on every level (for keys, weapons, heal, etc) however you need this money to do permament upgrades after you die (also you will get only about 40% money after you die, don't remember how much was it on the start as you can upgrade it to lose less). For me it was just collecting money and not buying things in the shop so I can do permament upgrades first which makes game boring and...

Enter the Gungeon на минималках. Можно легко заметить как с последнего были взяты раскладка карты (комнаты, соединенные коридорами, ящики, кувшины), целиком скопированы поведение и атакующие паттерны некоторых мобов, сундуки в отдельных комнатах и т.п. Короче все в этой игре кричит, что она хочет быть как ее эталон Оружелье. Только вот делает она все хуже и ничего нового не привносит: нет той самой ламповости, милого юмора и изумительного арта, а геймплей наскучивает уже через пол часа. Может я мало поиграл, может недалеко прошел, но ее хочется выключит...

TL;DR If you like Enter the Gungeon, you'll for sure enjoy this game as well :) You play the role of a Liquidator. Your goal is to clean every sewer floor from pesky creatures to be able to reach an abandoned nuclear core and destroy it. You venture down on your own (and your trusty ol' pistol) with one goal in mind; to clean up after everyone who was unsuccessful. During my many playthroughs, I have not once regretted this purchase. The pixel art is truly amazing and so are the many different room layouts. I also love the way meta-progression works. Basically, you collect something called "Tech", once you die, you lose a percentage of said "Tech", and then you decide what to level up. The upgrades go from "Health" and "Tech" all the way over to "Better map layouts" and "Stronger Weapons". With the many ups I've seen during my runs, I've also noticed a few downs. I found myself getting hit way too many times by a Dumpster in the first few rooms I got into and thus dying quite often....

Dungeon Core is an enjoyable roguelike game with a lot of potential. Fans of "Enter the Gungeon" will find a familiar experience in Dungeon Core, with a few gameplay twists. You play as a "Liquidator" on a journey to the core of the dungeon (hence the name), where you must kill enemies, gather currency for upgrades, and pray that you find better guns along the way - all in a big, procedurally-generated dungeon. PROS: - Responsive controls and aiming - Powerups have noticeable, satisfying effects - Enemy designs and animations are well made - Lots of room for growth - None of the gun types feel flat-out useless; they merely play in different ways - Wielding two guns brings an interesting dynamic to the game CONS (with explanations): - No customizable keybinds (for the moment), which may be a problem for some - Audio levels are mixed - some SFX are barely audible while others are very loud - Low invincibility times after taking damage - if you get caught in a flurry of bullets, you're ...

Dungeon Core is an ation-roguelite twin stick shooters heavily inspired by Enter the Gungeon but with permanents upgrades and nowhere near the variety of items/guns and lack of gameplay tightness. The game is fun with decent combat and is very difficult. The small numbers of items/Guns are unfortunatly not that exciting if you've been spoiled by Gungeon and Binding of Isaac. Additionaly, unlike Enter the Gungeon, this game gets much easier as you advance. The most frustrating part however that makes me unable to recommend this game is the extreme lack of clarity. There are too many "colorful" monsters and bullets. Some bosses have the same color bullets as yours as it's impossible to dodge anything when you have bouncing bullets.

This game could have been fantastic. Unfortunately it has been abandoned. Do not buy! Very unfinished infinite early access game. You'll notice a lot of these reviews are a year older than mine. Back before the game was abandoned. It had a lot of promise but alas, the devs have moved on.
