Dungeoned 9+

Dungeoned is what you get if an RPG and The Adventures of Lolo had a baby, and as a result is a lot of fun. The gameplay is well described, so I won't cover that. What I will cover though, is how fun this is and how much potential it has. Not only is it great now, the devs are really devoted to making it even better.

In short: Get it.

Dungeoned is quite the departure from Hungarian developer Redshift's usual work, which is the fantastic throwback iOS RPG series, The Quest. Dungeoned is a quaint, likable action-based puzzler and has all the elements to draw you in: funny, whimsical music; throwback visuals; cute art design; and interesting, fun environmental puzzles to solve; plus the game includes an upgrade system (a nod to The Quest-like RPG elements). However, the plodding crawl of your main character is further hampered by the ridiculously-implemented d-pad. While it feels responsive, this may not be the case: the four directional buttons are spread so far apart, it FEELS unresponsive b/c half the time your thumb inputs go unrecognized. Seeing as how the last update for this game was last year October 25, 2010, it's a good bet that Redshift has probably abandoned this game (duly perhaps due to the low scores in comparison to The Quest). If they fixed the d-pad, I'd give this game at least 4 if not 5 stars.

I was shocked how much I enjoyed this game after reading the reviews it has been one of the best games I have on my phone, it was free and none of the levels are impossible I would love to buy a expansion pack with a deeper story. If you like old school nintendo Zelda like games you will enjoy this one.
