Super Dungeon Tactics

To those not aware, this is an adaption of Ninja Division's very fun Super Dungeon Explore board/miniatures game. I wanted to get this review in quickly since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot said about the quality of the game in the current (all-positive) reviews: First of all, there are notably low-quality aspects of the game right off the bat. Rough edges, if you will. There are interface oddities that make em think this was really meant to be a mobile game. There are some exceptionally ugly icons. The soundtrack, while cute in short bursts, becomes monotonous in minutes. Etcetera. Second of all, if you're here because of the brand, please know that this is not a true recreation of Super Dungeon Explore. It has its own systems, it simplifies combat dramatically, and it's very quest-oriented in a way that the board game never could be. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the game plays very smoothly and quickly, but please don't go into this expecting a faithful recreation o...

FFT is my favorite game of all time. I've wasted weeks of my life playing Disgaea, Phantom Brave, and the FFT sequels (especially the Gameboy one). So, is this game as good as those? No. Do I like it? Yes. That being said, indulge me a moment to offer some constructive criticism to the developers. 1. Story/writing. A big part of what made FFT and Disgaea so good was this. FFT was a great story told well. Disgaea really went the extra mile to create compelling characters and was legit funny. SDT is pretty flat in this department. I especially don't like the mage. The Shadowrun games would be a great example of making a weakness a strength and what to shoot for in the future. 2. Sound. No voice-over. The music does not coincide with what's happening. In the opening our little town is getting raided and the music just plods along. Some sound effects to puncuate the dialogue would help. 3. Gameplay. I like the gameplay. I thought I would not like the dice, but I like it a lot. The g...

Ok, So this game is pretty good but it does have a few drawbacks. The Good -Gameplay is your standard grid based combat and has a good amount of depth to it -Dialogue is full of pop culture references and pretty funny -Difficulty is good. The game on normal is well balanced and fun -Art style and character designs are nice -Seeing more of the Super Dungeon Explore World is cool The Bad -Graphics are basic and the interface could have used some polishing -A few bugs such as names not appearing and pressing the ready button at the wrong time -No options within the game. (I had to kill the volume in my audio mixer) -Maybe a bit pricey(I haven't played enough to see the full scope of the game yet) Overall it has a few faults but it offers and engaging strategy rpg experience where you can upgrade your heroes equipment to make them stronger and recruit a load of different heroes to take on quests with a cutesy art style. It is a good adaptation of the board game and I am really enjoying ...

[u]Pro[/u] SDH is very fun game with deep strategy behind it. Gameplay are great. Graphic in-game battle is alright. You can customize your own team and try difference strategy. Stage/Level in game can be easily replay anytime for better loot, So it's has high replay value. [u]Con[/u] the story is a bit too lame for me, not a huge down point but with Good story and narrative voice or character voice this game will be more interesting. Keyboard shortcut is Insufficient. most of the time I wish I could customise keyboard shortcut or add new one here and there. so right now you stuck with lots of mouse click. [u]Conclusion[/u] I gave this game 8.5/10. very fun game for a cheap price. It's indie game that come to right direction with balance game machanice and has a lot of potention to grow. I like to support Dev so they can continue improve gameplay. May be in the next version, It will has more diversity monsters, tactics, maps, etc...

the game it's self isn't bad outside feeling like a mobile port but the controls are awful. i will sometimes swap to the keyboard or controller controls because doing a task is to hard to do with the control setup i'm currently using. 5/10

I never heard of this game, or the boardgame it is based on, until two days ago. Now I'm a big fan. The game is excellent. There are some UI improvements that the developers are working on right now, and some quality of life improvements, too. They expect to release this update next week. The devs are super responsive, and that's a huge plus for me! The character building is really a blast, much more involved than I expected. It's all based on equipping gear, which give you new skills and stat improvements. There is a ton of customization you can do with your characters. And, you can select your party before each battle from your pool of characters. Combat is intense and very well done. It very much reminds me of playing a miniatures boardgame battle, which I REALLY love! Overall, it's a very solid game, and it's only going to get better in the very near future. I hope this game sells well, because the developers really deserve all the praise they can get. And, successf...

So this is being review by someone who has never played the board game and at around 1.5 hours of gameplay time. The time I feel many people choose to keep or refund their games. Here are my personal impressions: TL:DR This is a nice little turn based rpg. You are builing up a guild, thus having a bunch of hero's to choose from. Each with their unique play style. These are you basic archetypes: barbarian, mage, rouge, ranger, etc. The graphics are not amazing, but the art sytle agrees with how it is implemented and its humor imo. As other have said, the music is repetitive. I have not found it annoying yet, but I have not played it for more than 1.5 hours at time of review. My rant: Gameplay: I really am enjoying the gameplay. The best thing i can relate the combat to is XCOM EU/XCOM2, only with reguards to actual combat. There is no meta strategy that I have come across yet. However, this is like xcom-light, since there is no percentage hit calculation. You will always hit your e...

How can a game released in 2016 not have audio options ? The interface is really letting this game down, seems like an early access title rather than a launch title.

The game does an adequate job of providing tactical, turn-based play. However: -'Creating a Guild of Heroes' is a bit of an embellishment. There's less of creating a guild, more of following mobile-esque story missions which add new characters to your pool. The bounty missions do a good job of providing loot, but they're limited. I don't see how there would be much replayability after you go through the story line once. -It fails to adequately explain its mechanics. Why are enemies getting buffed when I select dice? How does equipment affect my dice rolls? At what darkness level do spawners release spawns? -The UI is tedious and woefully inefficient. Before the start of a mission, if I haven't selected any consumables, I need to leave the mission select screen, go back to the main guild screen, go to the item select screen, select consumables, then go back to the main guild screen and then back to the mission select screen. The same situation if I haven't selected heroes. Additiona...
