One More Dungeon

Fun for cheap, the jump scares for monsters is actually more fun than youd think, not really meant TO be beaten but rather to see if you can make it to the next floor with a new character next time. 6/10

Is good

A pretty fun little game. Sadly though, there really isn't all that much to it. Two floors in the ruins, two floors in the sewers, two floors in the frozen zone, and two levels in the fire zone, with a final level to beat the game. Yes, the levels are randomly generated, but that doesn't really help to give the game much in replay value. This is because the enemies are always the same on each level, including the mini bosses that you have to defeat to go down lower.

In fact, having the randomised levels can often be a pain. Several times I saw rooms, or even entire portions of the map, blocked off by random objects that you cannot break through. This was particularly noticeable in the sewers with the fallen masonry, and in the frozen area with all of the crystals.

In one hand you get a ranged weapon, a staff that can shoot different kinds of projectiles, and in the other hand a melee weapon that does less damage for a faster swing, or more damage for a slower swing. Once you have played through a level it is nearly impossible to fail. You will have memorised how the 3-5 enemies on that level react, move, and attack. In the end it all boils down to: shoot ranged enemies while moving side to side, and kite melee enemies backwards while you swing. There is not much more to the AI than this sadly.

After about three runs through the game I became bored, of the combat, of the levels and enemies. There are 'mutations' that you can activate by purchasing them with your score at the end of a run. They are seemingly there to add extra difficulty or flavour so that you keep playing, but none of them seemed all that interesting and didn't really change too much. Other than the ones that cost the score of an entire successful run, but they were 'start the game with 1 hit point and never get more' and 'you take one hit point of damage every thirty seconds.' Just sounds painful, not fun.

Ultimately, while it was a little bit of fun, I have to give it a negative review. That is the problem, it is only a little, short, bit of fun. I only really got about three hours out of it. The other two of those were me going AFK and forgetting that I had left the game on.

Quite an unfun and unexciting roguelite. I really wanted to play a dungeon crawler/fps/rogue hybrid, and i wanted to like it but ultimately, i couldn't. It's quite minimalistic, i don't have a problem with that but it never manages to be entertaining. Limp and sluggish gameplay, little to no sensations, lackluster sound design and audio cues (enemies hidden in corners making no noise...), boring dungeons that are all more or less the same but somehow get progressively more annoying. Playing One More Dungeon just makes me feel like reinstalling Minecraft and raiding caves.

pretty ass, barony is better

I have fond memories of this game, it's so simplistic. Keep in mind it's hard.

when u can't buy mincraft but you have One More Dungeon
10/10 master pess :# i love it
I wish Steam had a finer way of rating games besides recommend or not.

This game isn't bad, but it's not really that good. It's a nice little romp through what a game from '93 would look like, but somehow without the depth that all those FPS-RPGs had back then.

It inhabits a wierd uncanny valley of gameplay. It's too long to be a game to just pick up and play for a few minutes or so, but the gameplay isn't deep enough to really justify the game length. Once you've done 4-8 runs (even if you don't win) you've probably seen all the things to see in this game. The game just needs some more stuff and some rebalancing to truly be something worth recommending wholeheartedly.

All-in-all it's not bad, but not really worth too much time or money. Get it on sale for a buck or two and just marathon a few runs in a weekend until you're satisfied you've experienced all there is from the game.
