Cavern Adventurers

This title doesn’t live up to Kairosoft’s well-deserved reputation. There are so many half-baked and poorly executed mechanics that the overall package seems like a hot mess. Which is sad, because the core idea has a lot of potential! After finishing the game (8hrs playtime), I still cannot explain how things are supposed to work. Or why you would ever want to build most of the things you unlock. So I’d recommend you sit this one out, and get back to maxing out your Dungeon Village 2 save. You’ll have a better time.

I hesitated playing due to the negative reviews across the web, but I’m glad I did as it’s one of the few kairo-games I’ve chosen to do new games+. It was definitely different than most of their games, but I really enjoyed the break from their tried and true method. It was a lot of fun unlocking all of the floors and buildings, and I appreciated having the combos unlock when you unlocked the building. The “gacha” spins for the S on the hour made me come back a lot, so I sunk a bunch of time getting all I could. Every purchase helps out Sally Prin! ;)

I absolutely adore Kairosoft and most of the games they make; I check their store frequently and rarely hesitate to buy games when they come out. This one didn’t tickle my fancy quite as much. Most Kairosoft games have many different things you can do to progress, but this one is pretty unidirectional
