Depths of Dread

Depths of Dread, is a single player dungeon crawler, with turn based battles and random encounters. You choose your class from a choice of 12 (a heathy balance of spell casters, support, melee tanks and hybrid classes.) You can recruit up to a party of 5 (building a party completely of your choosing), using gold acquired from killing monsters in a 15 floor dungeon. Below is a brief game review, and the pros and cons of why it may, or may not appeal to you. Story: There isn’t one, typical dungeon crawler. Here are the keys to my dungeon, level up, kill monsters, save the day. Graphics: Minimal. Copy and paste images with no imagination, the graphics closely resemble the story. The scenery and backgrounds are not interesting, no atmosphere, and nothing to get excited about here. Sound: I didn’t have any problem with the sound, or music. No doubt it will get repetitive and grind on you after a while, but you can say the same for any game with minimal variation of tunes. Gameplay...

Oh boy......what can I write here that hasn't already been said in the aforementioned review (very thorough!!). In my shallow, very self-centered opinion, the game is god awful. I had high hopes of partaking in a Diablo or Torchlight-esque dungeon crawl, my heart even skipped a beat when I saw there was a total of 12, TWELVE classes!! And fifteen levels of dungeon crawling goodness to well, crawl through. However, I cannot accurately describe the feelings that took grip of me once the "action" started. Sprites bobbing up and down like paper cut outs? Reused class sprites as village NPCs? No gratuitous nudity? I jest with that one.....the archer's booty shorts were pleasant........ Then I get down to the dungeon. For some reason the frame rate drops to an all time low of 1 frame rate...........and for what? The only excuse I can think of is it had something to do with the dungeon randomising? I'm no computer genius, in fact I'd have to say I'm at least partially handicapped, b...

The developer abandoned the game as soon as it released. Huge issues like memory leak at release with no fix in sight. DO NOT BUY!

Extremely dissapointing. The repetition is only broken up by the occasional spike in difficulty, which once adapted to, leaves you slogging through more endless repetition before it happens again. This is a game I very much wanted to like, based on premise. It might, in fact, get better the more you get into it. I wouldn't know, as uninspired design and shoddy execution turned me off well before I could progress far enough to tell.

Its simple. Dont get this game for NOW. Despite loving it, the devs just "fire & forget" the game. Unforgivable. Positives: So many classes; You can reclass your vets for more skills/spells; Every rarity of gear is a true upgrade from its earlier level; Hybrids are great; Minor negatives: Lack of good skill balance/creativity; Some floors are just infinite loops, ive stopped mapping the dungeons the moment i saw the common pattern. Major negatives: Memory Leaks, get ready to reboot every now and then; Game doesnt like anything on background, wanna watch something while grind? Too bad, just hope your game doesnt ctd/stop responding on your face. Devs replied, i'll hold to it till said updates.

No issues here. I think this game might have got a bad rep because people didn't know it was rpgmaker. It's a nicely done dungeon crawler in my opinion so far. I haven't encountered stuttering anywhere near what other people have..i play on fullscreen with autodash off on an old rig. Game runs fairly smootly, grind and loot is decent. I'd say pick it up since it is on sale atm. At full price it is asking a bit much for rpgmaker game but I'm quite enjoying it. Scratching the dungeon grind itch that many games have failed to do. Game provides a challenge if you try to progress too early. 12 classes to choose from, you pick your first start off with rnough money to recruit one more As you progress (at your time of choosing), you can recruit more for an increasingly steep price up to a maximum of 5 in the party total. I like the freedom in this. There are front row/back row mechanics to keep squishy classes form dying too easily and the skills seem decent and balanced so far. Edit: O...

I love this game.It bring me back to the old school games.The many diffrent classes and, the rune system is everything.Great job guys

It was an appealing game at first glance; I'll spare you a list of pros and cons, because others have already touched on it, and far more eloquently than I could. All I'll say is that I've run into the same stuttering and memory leak problems; a game this simple shouldn't be soaking up 60% of my computer's physical memory after half an hour of playing, and load times shouldn't exceed 30 seconds. Devs don't communicate, which is always a bad sign in my book. I played for an hour and a half, and now I'm asking for a refund, because it just isn't what it could/should be.

I can't get the boxes to appear over the words in the menus in windows 10. Maybe it works better on other systems or the iphone or something similar. I tried working around the user interface problems for a while, but I think I would wait a few updates if you are running windows. I will give it another try in a few months, but I can't recomend it now.

For the price it is more that good. Its a great casual game.
