Great start to the game. Interesting way to introduce a fight tutorial. Therein lies the issue. It is a 2 on 2,fight, however, once you beat one of your opponents, the game freezes up and you cannot proceed to finish the battle tutorial. Please fix this important part of the game. Thank you and good luck in the future!

The concept and gameplay is neat, but on the first battle on the second floor (the one with the two cyclops in front of the treasure chest), when nearing the end of the battle, I healed an ally and the whole battle reset for no apparent reason.The game is good enough that I tried the battle again, but during the retry, my knight was at low health and I attempted to heal them and it was a critical failure. It should have been fine, though, because my healer had an amulet giving them another spell cast. However, the character’s turn ended without letting me use the remaining spell action point, leading to my knight dying and eventually losing the battle.Not winning the same battle twice in a row due to two different bugs made me frustrated enough to stop playing until the bugs are fixed. If the bugs are fixed, I would gladly play again and improve my rating.

Hello, thank you for your feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed Dark Blue Dungeon, and I completely understand your frustration. The issue where all characters reset is indeed a bug and shouldn’t happen. However, a critical failure ending the turn is actually intended behavior. Feel free to join the Discord if you need help, and if you decide to continue the adventure, don’t hesitate to update your rating to support us :)

hey everyone I am excited to play the game, but I can't... to a degry?

Every time I click the recruit button, it brings me to a character creator and the first character I created when I first started the game disappeared, and I can’t seem to move on. Also, I wish that all the characters stats and everything could be put into a details menu instead of on the screen, where the options are when playing the storyI also wish that the game would say what I rolled when getting an upgrade to stats without me having to swipe all the way to the information. Also, the character dialogue pops up slowly, if a menu could pop up, saying why that happens in the game that would be helpful for a new person playing so they have an idea of what to expect when trying to play the game.I’m also running a iOS 26 iPhone 14 when playing the game.This game sounds amazing if the issues could be fixed that would be very helpful!I’m also using voiceover!It would be nice if the DLC would be put in a store option instead of displayed on the home screen of the app until you get the DLC.thank you for blowing VoiceOver accessibility onto this game!

Hello, thank you for your feedback! I can already tell you that you have the option to display the text faster, or even instantly — you just need to go to the game settings. For the rest, feel free to join the Discord or contact me by email so I can try to guide you as best as possible. I hope you’ve still been able to make some progress; other players using VoiceOver seem to have managed to complete the recruitment and continue the adventure.

Fun/ Slight issues

Hey I am liking the game however at the first fight when I kill either Armand or remi (I ran away and killed the other one) It has the dead character highlighted to attack. With no health. It does not allow me to change target or roll, however the buttons are able to be clicked and they move when I touch them. I can still click and interact with everything else in the screen. It just does not allow me to finish the combat.

Developer Response
