Dungeon Tycoon is a game about conning heroes into laundering your money. Heroes come in, kill monsters, which causes gold to spawn in chests around the room. Heroes take that gold, and spend it on your shops, which gives you money. Unlooted gold is LOST, so you need to get your heroes to be good little capitalists and ENCOURAGE them to buy health potions by sprinkling juuuuust enough fire, spike, or acid traps throughout your dungeon to make them NEED those potions, but not so many they actually die. That's the primary gameplay loop. It's light, it's fun, it's utterly devoid of challenge unless you challenge yourself (i.e. I want to get to 5-stars within 100 days or something) because you can't even lose unless you're playing survival, and survival is really just half of a step towards a balanced, non-sandbox game. All that said, it's bug-riddled. It's been bug-riddled since it was released. One of their major features they added and advertised was the one-way door, to help control...

I enjoyed my time with it in a mindless sort of way, but I can't recommend it as a satisfying management game, nor as an interesting simulation of dungeon rpgs. The game becomes repetitive quickly. Survival mode is restrictive rather than challenging and the without it the game is trivially easy. The way the players function means that you are encouraged to use the same strategies over and over. The players and creatures have buggy pathing and their AI isn't very good. They get stuck sometimes and force you to end a business day early because they'll never leave otherwise. And the farther you get, the more adventurers you have, and therefore the more bugs will occur. You'll have seen everything the game has to offer within the first 2 hours. Everything after that is just the same thing with a different skin.

Kinda Boring, Not Worth Paying For

I like it. Good casual builder game with a low learning curve. Excellent to pass time designing dungeons. Seems like the Dev's put some time into this game. Was surprised with how much I found in the game as far as assets to help with designing dungeons. Worth the $$$.

Havent explored all that this game can offer, but so far its great. Simple game of managing your dungeon to invite heroes and make them spend the money they get from killing your monsters on your potions.

A fantastic idea, but mostly bugged and a bit addicting, unbalanced, Good early game, non existent late game, should have focused more on the basics working properly and make that more fun. A ok waste of time if got on sale, but sadly a bad feeling when you get far enough, fun for the most 3 first hours

This game is decent if you never played other games much and concerned how things work. If you had played Dungeon 3 or Kairosoft games, you will quickly find fundamental flaw in this game, as well as odd crash reports, stuck AI... something that will fix itself after a few reload. (That happened to my save one time and after a few reload, the odd path issue is gone, and I cannot duplicate it) The main issue is that it is hard to earn money efficiently. In Kairosoft games, usually every facility has an "Appeal" value. Which either determine the visit frequency or the value earned per usage. However in Dungeon Tycoon, there is no such thing. [b]Just pure RNG.[/b] [hr][/hr] This will result either NPC, or the Heroes won't use Vending Machine much, which is the main source of income. Or you cramped everything into one single large room, resulting them exhaust the stock faster. Even though you tried to make the Vending Machines in a "logical" flow by spreading them apart, sometimes they wi...

I had to sell my first crawler and buy literally six other crawlers. Put them on spawners and level them up to max. Once I had over $40k, I went crazy. Pretty sure it took over thirty + draws this way. But that Golden Crawler is worth it, It became the evolved version of my Baby Bird Crawler. Really fun game, very easy to understand. I really wish though that one could place any room anywhere, not just touching walls.

Short fun but too many glaring bugs to recommend. 1 - moving doors leaves gaps in wall 2 - research tooltip hangs and requires reload, very annoying 3 - limited "endgame", you just let it run, no way to speed up past 3 or end the day as if everybody is leaving, you just stop earning money if you end the game 4 - GOLDEN CRAWLER is sooo terrible as an achievement. You can spend 50k and hopefully not skip it once it pops up.

It is an idle game advertised as something else. Not for me. 4/10.
