Mighty Dungeons

This game sits in my wishlist for a long time but during this summer sale I decided to buy it. Started with a barbarian to learn the mechanics. Made some bad decision but I am able to finish the first 3 campaign easily. So far so good. I gathered enough points to upgrade so I have increased attack speed, attack and defense for my bloodthirsty barbarian. Rushing through Chaos Gods campaign gives me the first surprise: end boss wipes the floor with me. From 2 hits. WTF? OK maybe I missed something so let's get back to Skeltor campaign. End boss kicks my butt. Again. What the hell is going on here? After reading through the Steam forum (because there is no any in-game or offline manual) I found that this is some kind of difficulty curve, means if you upgrade your character monsters upgraded too. This works fine for thrash mobs, but bosses get CRAZY HIGH stats you never can beat them. Upgrading your character again will upgrade the bosses too and so on, and so on... I understand the concep...

I enjoyed this little budget game so far. It feels like Heroquest but better. Done 5 of 8 campaigns already in about 5.5 hours. That being said, one playthrough and I think I'll be done with it. I'm guessing I'll get about 10 hours tops out of it playing with one of the OP toons. For the price, if you enjoyed Heroquest as a kid, this is worth. UPDATE: Underestimated this game. I was playing with permanent death and in the last map of the 7th campaign I was overconfident and ran into a room through a secret door with 8 powerful toons all giving each other gang bonus. First one smacked me around silly. It's got more depth than you first think through the first few campaigns. I would recommend running it with non-perma death first to get a feel for the whole campaign, THEN, if you feel like it run it a second time with perma death. That's my plan. On the other hand, this game has gotten better as it went along. Challenging and more fun than I would have expected and clearly my first p...

Interesting, fun, and relaxing. That's how I'd describe this dungeon crawler. I love dungeon crawlers but sometimes don't like to stress out over the layers of complexity that many DC'ers (Dungeon Crawlers) use to flesh out the basic concept of the game. This one, on the other hand, is a relaxful, stress-free dungeon crawler that can be played just for a few minutes to many hours. A good game to de-stress with after work or school or just for some no brain drain relaxful dungeon crawling. Especially good since most dungeons are a single layer/screen size. So they're nice "bite-sized" chunks that can be done in 15 minutes or so. All-in-all, a good non-pretentious game for those who enjoy dungeon crawlers but don't want to spend a lot of time micro-managing.

For some reason, I thought I liked this lite RPG back when it was on iOS. I'm not really sure why that was, because playing through the PC version revealed it to be a relatively brainless and lackluster experience. Gameplay-wise, playing a warrior class is a rather easy and boring experience, with the only interesting parts of the game being your first campaign or so, when you still have to trade off between trying to hit enemies in the head for high damage but only a 25-35% chance to hit, or hitting them in the body for normal damage 100% of the time. Quickly, however, you reach the point where your equipped weapon is good enough that you kill most enemies before they get a chance to attack you, and after that the only real threat comes from enemies who can do hundreds of damage if they get a turn. "Fortunately", though probably not for game balance, this is a game with purchasable invincibility potions that last an entire fight (or five!), making even those a fairly easy task. I can...

In the end, Mighty Dungeons doesn't take advantage of the PC port to improve on the experience, as the game shows it's phone/tablet roots with lack of use of proper resolution of the screen. The game is simple, and yet riddled with bugs that can stop your progress, like having to exit an area due to not being able to attack, or an option not being available to be seen. If you're looking for an experience like this, I'd recommend Card Hunters, the F2P browser game, but sadly, Mighty Dungeons doesn't do enough for me to stand out.

TL:DR All in all it's a good game for the price point. Fun for both longer sit downs, and quick diversions. 9/10 Edit: More time with this game has seen me upgrade it from my initial 7.5 to a 9. I've also added a bit more to the review to reflect that change. Being a port from another platform should not be held agaisnt a game, unless it was ported poorly. Looking at you Dynasty Warriors 8 ;...; It's a good budget dungeon crawler. It sticks to the roots of dungeon crawling; explore dungeon, search rooms, kill mosnters, complete quests, collect booty, upgrade hero stats and equipment. I good selection of starting characters should provide you with one to fit your play style. There really isn't much room for play style though- kill monsters, collect loot. The upgrade system is pretty flexible and allows you to customize as you see fit. You earn achievments by clearing dungeons, and killing things. You can then spend these points to upgrade your heros stats. Money and loot can be exch...

It's been an old school dungeon delving feast of late with the release of Warhammer Quest, Dark Quest, Runers, Darkest Dungeon, continuous updates of Desktop Dungeons and so many other ways to punch and be punched by monsters it drives a grizzled veteran to glorious distraction. Right before turning last night at 5 AM I decided to check Steam one more time. And what do I fnd but a glorious gem called Mighty Dungeons! As one old wizard once said, "stay awhile and listen."

Besides, I'm protected by the academic fair use clause AND the Malodorous Ring of Power Against Megacorporations so, bite me]. Wow, where to begin? I don't write reviews as a sort of list as I am too addle pated so intead I'll write a review. [Get on with it! - ed.].What we have here intrepid Steamers is an unabashed love letter to boardgame classics like the legendary Heroquest and that is a Very Good Thi...

Fantastic little game, palyed for nearly 4 hours in my first session , very addictive and some really nice mechanics, I love how leveling up your character is linked to the achievments in the game , really makes you want to get them all to level up. I am a little little dissapointed that you dont seem to be able to collect loot, instead, if you have say a shield and pick one up in a dungeon it just adds durabilty to the sheild you have equiped intstead of just putting the loot in the inventory so you can go back and sell it , however that is just a minor gripe because I am a loot ♥♥♥♥♥ , Also a dev that really seems passionate about his game , its really nice to see these days. Overall a certain 9/10 from me ... :)

This is a really great game. Played all quests in nearly 18 hours, and that for only 5 euros. Hopefully soon there will be mods with new quests from the community. Personally I prefer to play 3D games, but this game is highly addictive. I recommend this game to anyone.

Pros: Addictive Fun Active Developer, quick to fix bugs. Price is reasonable Does not require a great deal of hard drive space. Basically just like D&D, Diablo, HeroQuest and other boardgame style rpgs. No complex rules to learn, and you can jump right in. Lots of different characters, spells and weapons. Has an attribute system instead of leveling up, which makes for more challenging play decisions. Game has a blacksmith where you repair and fortify your weapons. Great for a quick game if you are pressed for time, or if you are just waiting around. Cons: Still needs some testing, can be buggy. Mobile port, this version is improved from the mobile.
