One More Dungeon 2 is another game from Ratalaika and they were kind enough to send me a copy to review this first person dungeon crawling roguelike.
I usually don’t do this,but I will start out by saying up from the game cost about $15. I say that because I have a few complaints,but at the price point they shouldn’t discourage you from trying the game out of you so choose. None of them are deal breakers.
Graphically the game looks nice, especially for the price you pay. This isn’t a AAA game nor should you expect it to play like one. But it does look and sound nice for it’s price and style.
The story is also quite simplistic. For some reason you are a prisoner, and are being forced to explore this dungeon for your captors. They also won’t let you die, apparently this has been an issue in the past and they have fixed it. You are the lucky one that can’t take the easy way out.
As you traverse into the dungeon you will find new weapons and such,but these don’t come out with you when you die. What you can bring out are ruins and gold,which can be used to unlock new classes or power ups to start your next run. You may even be able to unlock a short cut to a deeper portion of the dungeon.
This is where my first complaint comes in. Ruins and gold aren’t easy to come across compared to how many you need,and in a game that you can beat in about 10 hours this seems like an odd attempt to simply make a short game seem longer.
My second complaint is that enemies hit pretty hard right from the start,but finding new weapons and such is pretty random. It is easy to be outpaced and lose a run simply because you didn’t find anything new to take on enemies.
Don’t let this knowledge discourage you from checking it out,it is an improvement on the first one in pretty much every way and if you enjoyed that one you will enjoy this one. For me tho the game just wasn’t very good. I never felt compelled to pick it back up like I usually do with games like this. There is fun to be had here,but it’s hidden inside of a few things that take some time to deal with. The game is a 6/10 from me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
