I remember seeing the first Dungeon Village over 10 years ago but never got around to playing it. When I saw Dungeon Village 2, I decided to finally give it a try, and wow, it’s been such a fun and rewarding experience! The game feels incredibly polished and engaging.Despite some other reviews mentioning too many notifications/pop-ups, I actually found them to enhance the gameplay by keeping me involved and aware of everything happening in my village. It’s packed with charm and strategy, making it one of the best games I’ve played on iOS.If you’re hesitating on buying it, don’t. This game is worth every penny and an absolute must-play for anyone who loves simulation and RPG elements. Highly recommended!

Like it is cool but there are a few problematic and game breaking mechanics that kill saves. I got tired of restarting my game after the fifth time. I don’t understand why they would add a sleep mechanic that would make the target sleep forever. Plus for whatever reason the sleeping target can’t be targeted and attacked. This will make the mission impossible to finish. On a side note. If you change your characters to a class that doesn’t use a weapon. You lose that weapon. And after you change them back to a weapon wielding class they start without any weapon. Sometimes your characters will somehow path-find themselves in a corner or some gap and get trapped. They will sit there forever if you don’t notice them. And even though there is more I don’t have time to go through each of them. I will just mention one more. There are way too many in game notifications. And the whole game stops when one comes up and you Have to click it to continue. Sometimes I found my self playing on my 15 minute break and realized I was not able to do anything else the whole time because I was just clicking through notifications the whole time. Like I said it was fun at first but quickly became tedious and annoying really quick after a short while. I am glad it didn’t cost me too much money to find out.

I would have enjoyed playing this game, EXCEPT for the fact that it didn’t save my progress! I was constantly clicking the “Save” button as my town progressed, and it gave me the message indicting that it had been saved successfully. I got to work arranging my town and buildings until everything was just perfect, and then I saved one final time and closed the app. But when I opened the app again later, my buildings were not there! Confused, I began placing them again as before. Then an event that I had previously played through, and completed its quest triggered as if it were the first time. Please note: I am NOT mistaking it for the reoccurring events that pop up periodically as you play. No, this was a tutorial explanation and a quest I had previously already completed! THE GAME HAD NOT SAVED MY (recent) PROGRESS!! And this exact same issue keeps happening. It’s not just a fluke, every time I log in, the game always sets me back a good 30 minutes of play (oftentimes, MORE than 30 minutes), and it is absolutely infuriating!😤FIX. THIS. NOW.

This was a great game to start, but as the game progressed, it started to become very apparent now unbalanced the game was. Your adventurers go and fight monsters and get exp., but this only leads to relatively minor stat boosts compared to blasting them with items. It’s fun to play around with class swapping and unlocking more powerful classes, but it never felt like there was any rhyme or reason to any sort of difficulty progression. Also, as the game develops, you get utterly bombarded with popup notifications- and at that point in the game, you really don’t care if your traits are going up or your population went up another 100 points or you earned another medal. It’s just constant clicking to make these updates go away. Overall, it’s still worth its price point, it just have the longevity that made me want to keep playing past the first week.
