I've been captivated by this game for a while now. It masterfully blends nostalgia with modern gaming sensibilities. The art style is a standout, beautifully crafted to evoke the classic video games of yore, and they absolutely nailed it. It’s not just about looks, though; the gameplay is genuinely addicting, offering an almost endless loop of exploration and discovery that keeps pulling me back in.However, my experience has been significantly dampened by a couple of major bugs. Firstly, there's an issue with the imp companion. Once you complete a quest from the notice board to unlock this companion, everything seems fine, until you try to swap it for another. If you do, the imp is lost forever, and oddly, the same quest appears again on the board but is impossible to complete a second time.Another critical bug involves the passive slots you unlock through progression. As you upgrade the castle, you unlock these slots, but if you unequip all your passive items, the slots disappear permanently. This is particularly frustrating as it basically permanently nerfs your character. It appears that a few of them reappeared, but not the same amount as before.These bugs are more than just minor inconveniences; they significantly hinder what could have been an outstanding gaming experience. This has the potential to be a mobile game masterpiece, but these frustrating issues need urgent attention. That is to say… I want my imp back!I hope the developers will address these problems soon, as the game truly deserves to shine without these flaws. Easily a 5 star masterpiece if these issues are fixed.

I’m really liking it so far, with some caveats that the developer is addressing. The pixel art is gorgeous and evocative, and well animated. The sound design is also extremely good. I like that it’s playable one handed in portrait, though more often I’ll use both hands. The core gameplay loop (enter mines, dig and look for dungeon entrances, delve the dungeon and get treasure until you die and return to town, buy upgrades and repeat) is very compelling.There’s also some jank around the edges. There have been some crash bugs, some ways to get stuck enough that you have to quit the app to abort a run, etc, many of which bugs are fixed in today’s patch. I’m finding progression to be a challenge due to my limited skill, and also there’s an upgrade material that I just can’t find yet, which is sort of maddening. It’s definitely got me hooked, though, and if a mobile portrait-orientation roguelite with a really compelling presentation is appealing to you, I’d say it’s easily worth the price. Based on the developer’s responsiveness and track record from previous games, I think it’s likely to keep getting better.

This is a fun, pixel art game that can be played in quick bouts or for longer durations. With each new game, it feels like you’re seeing more and more of what D&M has to offer. But, it’s not perfect.Offering souls to enter a treasure room consistently results in a crash. Sometimes entering/exiting a dungeon results in a crash. The dungeons occasionally have black bars in the playing area that obstruct your view.The good thing is none of these are game breaking. This is a rogue type. You’ll die a lot. Thankfully, all of your accumulated gold and gear is saved—even when the game crashes. So while you do get set back, you’re still better equipped.Despite the issues, Dungeons & Miners is worth the price. There are a few bugs. But, it’s not like Baldo which is basically unplayable. It would be nice if you had the ability to select different skins/costumes for your character. He is a bit drab and minimalistic. But, that doesn’t detract from the fun to be had raiding dungeons and mining for ore.

Game constantly locks up when trying to enter dungeons, I guess it’s when your character isn’t exactly on the door judging by things so far. You can also dash through walls and get stuck by dropping down from things like stairs and quickly hitting dash towards a wall. When mining left or right sometimes a single block can get stuck and you will just keep swinging and not hit. So far I have just been able to back up and swing from another angle fortunately. You can also get stuck automining stairs which prevents you from getting to doors you should be able to. There’s an area that i cleared once that a dragon takes you to and a door opens after a sort of boss and when I went back the door wouldn’t open again so I had to close the game. The game also crashed when switching pets, red crystals became available at lvl 10 I think so they showed up eventually.
