You have no non-trivial choices to make as a player, other than your choice of character. There's nothing here but watching what the RNG does to you. Also, no progression of any kind, unlike many similar boardgames. Great sound and the controls are obvious, but they forgot the gameplay. There are many better choices on Steam.

Just fired this up and BAM, highly recommended. This is a digital version (more or less) of Dungeon Quest. WARNING! If you do not like insta death games that are reliant on RNG, then stay away. If you are okay with that and love games like the old Rogue, then you will most likely love this game. I'd recommend playing it with friends as it's great to laugh when the dice don't go their way. :D Great adaptation of a board game that my family loves.

A cute little digital board game that pays tribute to some of the forgotten classics of yesteryear. If you like board games where you get to choose from a cast of heroes with different strengths and weaknesses, but you want the added feature of brutal difficulty that makes every turn tense and potentially lethal, well... it's that. The rules are simple enough that the game practically teaches itself, the basics can be easily mastered in the first 20 minutes of play. You enter a room, draw a card, pray it's not a big stabby ogre that wants to hurt you, and spin some wheels against your stats when the situation calls for it. Turns rarely last more than 2 minutes and are often just around 15 seconds, so the pacing is good. Production value is middling, it certainly lacks polish in places but succeeds in setting the mood and conveys gameplay information fairly well. It's about right for it's price tag imho, although that is of course highly subjective. No bugs or glitches from what I've...

Well, other people weren't kidding about this board game simulation - of a game I only vaguely remember playing when I was a wee squirt, with a somewhat different title (Dungeonquest)! - being highly "RNG"-oriented...       My first game: I reached an impasse less than halfway through my twenty allocated turns...because a room I entered rotated, spat me out at an entrance other than the one I came in by...then proceeded to give me a dead-end shortly thereafter. So literally, I could only wander between three tiles, back and forth, and never progress further toward the centre of the board/castle that was my goal.       No dragon's treasure for me!       Next game: I chose a slightly different character - more of a super-strong, less-agile barbarian, as opposed to the more balanced warrior I chose the first time - and got a good bit further...before progressing so far in the "wrong" direction, through absolutely no fault of my own, that there was no...

A real treat for fans of board games! Even more of a treat if one of those board games that you're a fan of, is DungeonQuest. /wink

The fun is in the dying. Die you will. With thousands in gold and a mere step away from the exit or done in by the vampire chasing you-you will die. From dragonfire or traps or even slipping off a plank over a chasm:you will die.Rotating rooms,traps,pits.locked doors,trapped doors and even clear corridors await you. Venture forth and die in the dungeon. A few lucky ones will escape with treasures-a very few. Could you be one? Will you be a legend in the beerhalls or the butt of jokes-did you hear about Dragonspoor with his arms full of treasure trapped in the rotating room against the castle wall helpless while the dragonfie came for him? Yes,the fun is in the dying-unless you don't. then the fun is in the retelling of your adventures. A dlc has arrived. More adventurers to train. More rings to use and creatures to battle. Once more into the castle to test your luck and challenge the dragon. The game is definitely rng focus but strategy options exists. Try it and risk getting hooked. ...

Fun little Virtual Board game. Got it to play with my cousins when I watch them, and they had a lot of fun! P.S. Just realized that sounded like this is a kids game, it's not. 23 and like it a lot :D

I like the game very much. its a really cool concept and has very good mechanics, But needs to be improved a bit! that said the future of this game looks really good. its a solid experience so far. the sounds are good, (dragon)(was)(Awesome)! the variety of cards are good, (fingers crossed for more) the artwork amazing. if you like boardgames/turnbased games you should like this! just like i did. #Update# Hotseat mode now avalible!

This is based on the board game Dungeon Quest. If RNG is not something you like then this may not be for you. The random tile flipping can bite you, but this is part of the game, and some characters have abilities to mitigate this and other random elements of the game. Just seeing how far you can get into (and hopefully out of) the dungeon makes it interesting. Different end states (which you can choose at the start) also makes each play different. The DLC's add more rings, more characters, more cards, more events, monster bounties, more loot, more NPC - more of everything - to make each run through a fun time.

It's not Dungeonquest. Not even slightly. It's completely different to Dungeonquest. Comparing this game to Dugeonquest is simply futile, as they are nothing alike in anyway. 10/10, would fall down a bottomless pit again.
