Doomdepths 9+

There are many other positive reviews singing the same praises that I have for this game so I’ll get straight to the point. There are some flaws that mainly have to do with the meta progression of the game, the talents you unlock have the ability to be toggled on or off, however they appear in all my runs once I unlock them no matter what, which would be a fair thing to happen if the ability to toggle them wasn’t an option. And then there is the “bigger vials” upgrade in town that increases potion duration, I have gotten that to level three and the duration of all potions has remained the same, three turns. Finally there’s the tutorial for the game, or lackthereof. At the beginning of every run the game simply tells you what is the attack button, which is one of the only things that is actually obvious about the UI. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING else goes unexplained. In fact there is an entire in game mechanic where you can get bonus resources by looking at the background for barely-visible spots that you must tap on. I only found out about this very useful thing after maybe thirty or more half an hour long runs of the game. All of this and more minor issues are all very infuriating. I do realize of course this is yet to be a 1.0 release so please developers, if you see this review, make these fixes for both current and future players enjoyment.

I started this review at five stars but had to bump it down to four. At first I had nothing but great things to say about the game, but there are a few glaring bugs. As another user has pointed out, games tend to delete themselves if you don’t finish a run, not allowing you to continue. That can be a big deal considering that full runs are quite time consuming.

Still, I wanted to give the game five stars due to its incredible depth and satisfying animations. I even spent the $10 to remove ads just to support the dev, as there is a decent amount of content here that seems to get updated often.

One other bug to point out is, if you are mashing attacks and one of them kills an enemy, your subsequent attack will not do damage if you don’t wait for their death animation.

Anyway, the game is great, but a few bugs prevent it from getting five stars from me. Still, props to the dev(s).

I thought this was just gonna be a simple turn based rogue-like, but I was sorely mistaken. One look the achievements you can get will leave you wondering how you get to certain places to complete said achievements. You can either figure it out on your own or look online for some of them because I still haven’t figured out a few of the paths you can take. I love just how much content there is in this game and how you will eventually find your flow and be able to pick what talents/ weapons you want just by their icon. There’s so many secrets things to explore and I love it.

I’ve seen other people mentioning bugs like your runs disappearing if you don’t play them to completion, but I’ve never run into this problem. After each fight room or whenever you get a break you can hit the settings icon in the bottom right to save and exit the run. As long as you do that you should be good.

Another “bug” people have mention is that you have to wait for an enemy death animation to end so you can attack again. Otherwise you will waste an attack swinging into the air, and while it can be annoying, it’s really easy to get used to.

Overall, it’s a fun and great game that offers quite a bit of replay ability due to all of its talent combos, plethora of weapons and equipment, and several different runs to find.
