Dungeon Ward: Souls & Dragons

Great old school dungeon crawler! Pros: -Great graphics! Equipped items are displayed on your character (such as Fire infused bow burning on the back of your character). Dungeon backgrounds have some variety too. -Loot variety is awesome! Allows for lots of customization. Even equipped potions have bonuses. -Dungeons can be wrapped up in a short amount of time which is great on a mobile game. -IAPs are NOT necessary at all. Cons: -Found it a bit easy. I struggled with the first boss until I realized I needed to move around more. More AoE attacks from enemies would help with that. I played as a Ranger so I have no idea how difficult the other classes are. -Finished the main quest and then it just starts over and you keep your stats. Enemies get tougher though. I’d like to see more content (DLC quests, more story) Great game. Developer is awesome and talented. I’d just like to see more and I’d GLADLY pay for more content.

Nicely done simplistic take on the Legend of Grimrock style of turn-based/real-time hybrid 3D dungeon crawler (actually reminds me most of the Doom turn based RPG game that came out on iOS years ago). Production is good for an indie developer (though not at the level of LoG). I liked having the "town" to return to for new equipment, upgrades, and quests. Levels are pretty short (which can be both bad and good - nice for short play sessions, not so good for depth of play). Main drawback (and reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) is entire game is pretty short - completed in 4 hours (and that's with exploring everything). The game then restarts at a higher difficulty while keeping your character status and equipment as it was at the end of the previous play. Some may dig that, but doesn't interest me. Still, I had fun playing!

If I rate this game solely based the game itself, I give it 4 stars. However, I give it a 5 stars because this a game created by a single person dev team. The reason for the 4 stars is because the game mechanics is too easy. You can beat the game without upgrade any equipment if you play carefully. When you are fighting a boss, just make sure you in an area where you can move sideway facing the boss then the boss won’t be able to hit you. So you just wait for your elemental spell to refresh. You can get everything without spilling any cash. Support the dev by watch ads to receive more golds and gems. Can’t wait for new contents to come out!
