Dungeon League

Dungeon League is an absolute bash. The action is intense, the soundtrack is crunchy, the colours are vivid and the whole package just f*#ks hard. This is a perfect party couch game.
The only downside is your gonna want friends around on the couch or online to play with, there are no bots to fill hero spots.
Add me if you play, I got a group for us!

Super super fun game, I wish more people played so the PVP and COOP could be more prevalent.

The discord is pretty inactive now but I really think that if more people played this game could be a huge hit!

90% of my hours in game were single player or local coop.

Game is a little finnicky about Xbox 360 controllers if you're an archaic gamer like me. Movement controls were reversed for just this game using one. This wasn't always the case.

Ok, initial review............. not worth it unless more people play it. As a solo player I was only able to do the daily dungeon 1 time today... (one attempt per day). The other modes seem to require teammates and/or more players. I waited in what I thought was the queue for 5-10 minutes for each of the other 3 modes and never made it into a game.

The modes are:

• Tournament - face off in teams of two. So you probably need at least 4 people playing the game.
  
• Battle - free for all. Not sure but I would guess that you need at least 2 people playing the game.
  
• Gauntlet - co-op dungeon. Maybe at least 2 people playing.
  
[*]Daily dungeon. Once a day and single player.

My friends and I tried running this as a local multiplayer on a total of 4 computers, with 5 controllers. Controller support is not something that properly functions. Whether it was reading two xbox 360 controllers as a single controller and up = down and down = up on a ps4 controller.

Great little dungeon crawler with some rough edges.

Things I'd improve:
- make starting a new dungeon crawl faster between attempts (especially when palying solo); you can get a really tough 1st or 2nd room then you have to wait and navigate 2-3 menus to get a new one going.
- aiming attacks seems a little off; making ranged attacks at angles is difficult (impossible?) and there seems to be a large dead zone around the attack frames that can screw you if you're not careful
- spinning blades are static bosses, they're easily the strongest thing in the game and their hitbox seems super wonky

Other than those gripes, this is a great couch session game.

This game is pure pleasure to play, the best way to play it is with friends. It has a great and friendly community. I enjoy the game and would recommand it to anyone who likes this sort of games. The game has a lot of space to improve and grow.

It has few bugs but being well taken care of by its developer who listens to his fans and even hangs out with them on discord.
The community may be small but its slowly growing. Game play gives you somewhat of a gauntlet or old arcade feel. I personaly think this game could go somewhere if it keeps getting polished and continues to have content added. Recomend using a controller, keyboard does work but its not as effective i feel. 9/10 in my book~

No online play, mixed with hints of abandonware mean leave this one on the shelf. It plays decently, but there's better in the same genre out there- far better.

The Early Access period was treated less as a platform for feedback, and more as a way to put funds in the developer's pocket so they could spend years slowrolling this project, while having the audacity to work on console ports.

it's... alright. pretty fun game to play at a party, but it gets old when playing with a few friends. it just feels like it's lacking something. soul, maybe? i dunno, i'm so tired of pixelated dungeon games at this juncture, so maybe i'm just biased at this point? but anyways it's been a while since i've played this game, so if the devs ever decide to get back to updating this perhaps it could be something worth picking up again... but for now, eh.

It feels like a stripped down version of Gauntlet combined with, say, Darkest Dungeon, where you keep getting sent back to square one.
The graphics are retro-cool and the game play is fun.
The local multi-player is my favorite aspect. I'm always on the lookout for a cooperative multiplayer (especially 4 players) for my son to play with his friends (or his parents and their friends). In this regard, it reminds me of Duck Game, Samurai Gun, Towerfall Ascension and Overcooked. Simple, chaotic and fun.
If you are after something similar, I highly recommend this game. I hope they continue to improve this game (and people buy enough copies to make it worth their while) as I think it has the makings of a classic.

Im a big fan of 8-bit games and dungeon crawls
this game has both and at a very high speed so that saves me alot of hours of grinding for levels

still need to try this with some friends

The overall concept is fun to play both single player and multiplayer, but the developer seems to have halted any updates to the game. A long promised 'options' menu for example still isn't functional. After the last updates there are also some random bugs where characters become stuck, ruining all the fun in mutliplayer of course. Would rate this 10/10 if the updates continued, but it seems to be abandonned.

Cracking local multiplayer game. Really fun to play with the boys. So far there are co-op mode and versus mode with online modes to be added. You can play single player, but it's not the same.

Played a few minutes with one of my buddies, it for sure seems like a game where you need to obtain 4 players in to enjoy it to the maximum. Survival mode is fine with just 2 people, but when you do Tournament 2 people is no where good from my observation. It's fun, but does lack that online feature, I know this is just Early Access. So hopefully online does get implemented for this game. Looking forward to seeing this game get updated even more! ^^

This game is REALLY fun, and I want to play more than what you have to offer, A lot of coming soons, and little choice in gameplay. The gameplay is great, but the content is much lacking. WAY too much money for what has been released. Consider something else, until further developed and more replayable content comes out.

This is a really great game to play with friends and strangers alike. The way the game plays lends itself well to playing at parties or while having a few drinks with friends. Even if you don't have any mates DL is fun enough to replace any would-be fronds anyway.

10/10. Would crawl again.

Dungeon League? more like Fungeon League. AMIRIGHT!
Holy Shit! I had a great time with mates playing this. Dungeon League is...UNSTOPPABLE.
We were yelling, we were cussing each other out, and ultimately I came away a stronger and better person for having DL in my life.
DL is a must have!
I made and lost good friends, learned things about myself AND humanity, had my grandmother's cancer cured, built a ham golem, learned the elder tongue, summoned old ones for the darkest of purposes and brought about the end of our fragile existance. All of this because of Dungeon League....thanks Achebit.
Hold onto your butts!

This game has a lot of potential, it looks great and the gameplay is fluid and fun. As it is at the moment you will need to have friends to play with locally otherwise you likely wont get much playtime out of it, it currently has very limited single player and no online multiplayer. Also I would reccommend you use a controller if you can as I'm not so sure about the keyboard support at this time.

The positives:

The current playable characters are awesome and fairly well balanced, plus the developer has stated that he has plans to add more and more characters as the game progresses.

The multiplayer is quite competitive and loads of fun, game modes such as 'capture the flag' and 'capture the point' aren't too common in RPG style games but they work extremely well here.

The art style and animation is very well done, pixel art isn't for everyone but this game does it well and if you give it a chance I'm sure you'll come to like it.

A few things I noticed which need some attention:

First up - ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, this is a big one, this is a great game which could really strive but in my opinion a game like this NEEDS online multiplayer otherwise it could potentially die off very early. If this game incorperates some sort of online matchmaking/lobby system where you can play with your friends and/or randoms it could really take off.

Next up, the keyboard supports feels a bit weird, I almost immediately switched to controller. Giving access to the options so we can remap keys will mostly fix this I imagine however my biggest problem is that it just doesn't feel right, the menu scrolling can be laggy and sometimes pauses if you scroll too fast, i.e. you can't mash up or down to quickly select things because it will stop registering key presses or something. This isn't noticable while using a controller as far as I could tell.

Another thing that I noticed is the free play mode could do with a bit of work, I tried playing on level 1 and was just getting mauled and dying instantly as soon as I respawned because it seems like the monsters don't scale to your level or anything like that. Free play isn't a big focus of the game and you can set your level higher to make yourself stronger so this is a minor issue but more options such as difficulty or number of enemies couldn't hurt.

Hopefully I can improve this review over time but overall I'm really liking the game so far, I just hope that online multiplayer is implemented soon, the developer said he's open to it just as long as there is a demand, so get on it people, let him know you want it!

Very entertaining tournament mode, only played 2 player however, probably would be even more fun with 4. One issue is the aiming often a pain and you often run headfirst into enemies because of it. Another issue is that there isnt much content at the moment, especially without online play. Make sure you have friends to play with if you are going to get this game.

Invite some friends. Play with your girlfriend. Not the naughty way, but the less naughty way of doing it in this 80s composed indie pixel dungeon crawler.

Really excited to see more modes, classes and items but the current state of the game provides a lot of fun testing and slapping as you go through the levels. The more people you play with the more fun you will have.

Here is some gameplay of a full Tournament Mode playthrough. This is local co-op only!
