Dungeons of Mysteria Reviews

not fun

Fun little roguelike without a massive barrier to entry.

I own this on itch.io as well. This game is thrilling and difficult, which I like. The character customization and retirement goals add depth, while NPCs enrich the experience. A must play for dungeon crawler fans.

I wanted to like this game. I've been playing games since before there were computer games. I'm no stranger to pixely FPS, and they hold a special place in my heart. That said, there are so many glaring issues with this game, it makes it hard to play. You can't turn off the music, you can only adjust the overall volume. The view swing is crazy, I often overshoot my target because I can't move appropriately to aim at them. It seems to have a very low bit depth for colors. The first time you install the game (at least for me and one other commenter), you need to uninstall and reinstall to stop an "always move" bug. It is literally unplayable until you do this. There has been one update for the game, and that was in November. The Dev is already working on a new game, and with the issues still present in this one, I'm going to assume it has been abandoned. For the record, at the time of this review, November was half a year ago. I support indie devs, but I can't support an abandoned product (or one that updates every 6+ months) in this kind of shape.

Graphics are ok, but bugs are not. First bug is overlapping traps, I met with a top spikes both with and without poison in one square, overlapping. Second is items may stuck in indestructible objects if those are present. Third is inventory cell when emptied retains name of object previously held there. If those I found during first 20 minutes, I'm afraid of issues that await further.
