Can’t say enough good things about this game. I’ve been playing it on and off for years and feel a bit guilty that I haven’t reviewed it until now. Nothing has changed about this game for the worst; it’s sort of a strategy rpg game which I love. You move up to higher levels in a dungeon while trying to strategize with the best weapons and armor for different fighters, or “soda” addicts. You can add to the tavern to attract patrons to use for your dungeon crawling and earn money along the way to customize your tavern and buy items and upgrades. There’s so much more I haven’t touched on but that’s pretty much the gist of the game. It’s so entertaining and efinitely the best “time waster” (it’s still fun even when you’re not stuck waiting somewhere), that I’ve played. Give it a shot at the very least. Also should add it’s totally free and the ads are minimal and also optional if you want more cash. Props to the devs for creating an awesome game.

This is a good dungeon crawl game. Humorous with great 8 bit graphics. After playing through 3 dimensions there are two major flaws which are probably stopping me from continuing. The biggest flaw is the ad playing mechanism. You depend on ads to double your bank interest ,and most importantly, to revive your whole party once an hour. Unfortunately, often it freezes when trying to retrieve and play an ad. So you lose your ability to raise your party, must force quit, and you are spawned back at the tavern. Very disappointing. The second thing is that it’s very difficult to gain reputation after dimension 2 if you’ve already bought most of the Tavern items. Other minor flaws is that in the special comedy dimension, if it’s more difficult than the regular dungeon, why is the loot the same drop as the regular dungeon? Lastly, it would have been nice if I was told to spend all my gold before leaving dimension 1. It wasn’t completely clear what would carry over and what would not when you go to the higher dimension. I feel in app purchase offers are completely reasonable, but the ad freeze when trying to revive the party once an hour has been so bad, I probably won’t be continuing.

This is a pretty fun and inspired retro 8 bit game. There's plenty of tongue in cheek references and the character designs are well done. The game was plays well and the tutorials do a good job of telling you everything you need to know to play while hold my back a few surprises to discover. Where I find the game lacking, however, is in the equipment selection. There are lots of items to choose from, but there are really only a few items to choose as there is almost always a clear best choice. A clear example of this is staves versus wands. There is literally no reason, other than not having any in your inventory, to ever choose a staff over a wand. The basic wand is easily 1 to 2 levels above a staff of the same rank. It would be nice to see some sort of secondary effects on some of these items in order to incentivize different equipment load outs. Overall this game is a fun little distraction from the everyday grind and may even give you a chuckle or 2. Free to play with micro transactions that won't break the bank.
