Abandonware
I bought this on sale for $1.29. It's got simple game mechanics, and a cool aesthetic. But it's got one glaring problem:
It's not fun.
When you're defeated, you have to send in another teammate to rescue captured heroes. I got my first guy through the dungeon alright. But every other player I sent through died at least twice, no matter what I did. So now my main tank guy is like level 4 just from rescuing all the newbs who can't even get through the starter dungeon without dying. This is not fun.
Potions are useless. It uses a turn to drink them, but while that turn is taken, the enemy hits you and undoes the health recovery. So just... don't bother I guess. Spam attacks and hope for the best. But you'll probably die and have to be rescued. But in order to advance, you have to have at least a couple of higher-levelled heroes to rescue the guy from the next level, because your main guy will invariably be killed and need to be rescued, possibly several times. This is not fun.
There's a roulette wheel at the start of every dungeon that randomly screws you for the run, -10 damage on all attacks, or enemies get more health, etc. It's like they're trying to punish you for playing. Especially due to the fact that in the 8 or 9 dungeon runs I did, I only got a buff of 10% more gold once. Everything else was a negative effect. This is not fun.
So your only option is to send each guy through the started dungeon at least 6 or 8 times in order to over-level them so they don't die the first time they go through dungeon 2. Rinse and repeat for each new dungeon and for each of your heroes. This is not fun.
Also, did anybody notice that one of the two songs in the soundtrack is a note-for-note ripoff of the Terminator theme song? Nobody feels like a terminator while getting their asses handed to them over and over in the first dungeon.
The only thing that's a little bit fun is the loot. Finding new gear, that's very slightly better than what you currently have is a relief, but only in the sense that you know it's going to make the future repetitions and rescues very slightly less aggravating. The shop is basically a slot machine. You can't see the stats for the new gear you're going to buy until after you buy it. This was a very stupid decision.
If there were more problems in the middle and late game, I wouldn't know. I got defeated in dungeon 2 and gave up. It's not fun. I can't even recommend this game even at $1.29. Buy a pack of gum from the dollar store instead. It's less frustrating.

Wow. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Completely unplayable. Game breaking bugs literally stop all progress and you cannot progress. Dev's haven't addressed a single issue since 2017. Dead game.
Not playable due to gamebreaking bugs! Such a shame cause it really had potential!
Good game. Like the mechanics and nice graphics in tabletop style. But the game still got lots of bugs. Sometimes some parts of code just stopped working and you can do nothing but to exit dungeon and start it from beginning. This is especially disappointing when you had a good run of the dungeon before the code breaks. But it does not happen quite often, so the game is still enjoyable and fun
I'm new to this game as only today I bought it. Played for an hour or so and loving it.
However, I must say that the difficulty appears a little unbalanced - at the start. It's difficult and requires a few same-level replays and this is made worse with each dungeon having few top-ups of food/HP or whatever. Sure, there are chests/etc but it's not enough. Resting doesn't appear to work unless I'm missing something?
I've seen some people mention bugs with the gameplay or display. I've had none of those, so I guess these are reviews of older releases and they've now been fixed. Works fine for me in that respect.
Also, I'm using a Mac M1 (64 bit OS). And STEAM tells me this game won't run on Catalina and newer. But it does! The game works fine on Big Sur :)
Basically, once you've got going and beaten that initial hurdle, this is a great game!!! Love it.
So I got quite fond of this grinding fest...I just like to grind. I looked the other way from the awful interface and the the many bugs, till one of my characters became permanently cripped from one bug that restricted his movement and wouldn´t go away. So, no I can´t recommend. Too many bugs and no intention to fix them.
The game frequently doesn't allow my character(s) to move further into the dungeon(s). It happens on maps I've played through before (like the 1st dungeon) and with characters I've used before. It's happening too often to make this even remotely a playable game anymore.
Game has a bug that makes you lose all your progress.
I've played 32 hours, the game crashed and had to restart all over.
Then played another 40 hours, the game crashed and lost everything again.
I loved the game but this bug made me dislike it, so I don't recommend.
Let me start by saying that i've only played about 2 hours but I actually really like this game. The board game aesthetic is well done and well animated. I like the various characters and each cutout is very detailed and chaming. I appreciate that the equipped items are reflected on the cutout pieces. The way that the game is structed really evokes a "let's go crawl some dungoens" feeling, even if the story seems a bit light. However, I simply can not recommend this game at this time.
In my 2 hour playtime I have been hit with two very annoying bugs. The first was relatively minor in that the game just froze when loading and hung on the "89%" loading screen until I alt-tab'd out and closed. The second bug was a total deal-breaker though. The game isn't easy, and I managed to get 4 of my characters captured in the 3rd dungeon. I learned from my mistakes (built up my 5th character a little bit more, got more potions, repaired my equipment) and went to save them. I managed to beat the dungeon and free my captured characters only to realize that I couldn't leave the dungeon due to the fact that the doors were bugged out. Exiting the dungeon via the menus takes away all your progress but I had no choice. So i exited and went in again...and again...and again with the exact same result. My progress is stalled, most of my characters remain captured, and I am stuck with a sour taste in my mouth about my purchase. I suppose I'm only 2 hours in and could just retart the entire game. But I'm frustrated that such a game-breaking bug hit me on the 3rd dungeon and stopped me cold. I'm woried that it will happen again on my next playthrough, maybe after I've invested even more time.
So as much as like what little I played...I simply can not recommend this game until the developers address this game-breaking bug. I'll revisit this title in a few months in the hopes that I can enjoy the game fully and update this review. But for now I suggest that this one be skipped.
As I write this I have not gone beyond dungeon 10. Here's my rebuttal to the two objections I found in negative reviews:
1) The game gets stuck. True. But just hit escape and you exit the dungeon. You might lose whatever you gained from that dungeon, but you can always replay it. You can also use escape to not play a dungeon that doesn't have the challenge you want.
2) The game is too grindy. True. It's simple. If you binge play with a specific goal of finishing, it's going to be painfully slow. But if you treat each dungeon run as it's own mini-game, it's rewarding and short. You also have the added bonus of being able to adjust the difficulty to the amount of challenge you want. Go for a really tough situation, where monsters can 1-shot kill you, or something more moderate, where you can do the game and think about something else.
Other Notes:
1) The AI is very simple, at least on early levels -- so simple that the creatures do the same thing everytime. There is no deep strategy.
2) Most heroes need two stats: endurance for health, and strength/agility/intelligence for damage.
3) A hero of level X can beat a dungeon of level X very easily. But you are leveling all 7 heroes, so the challenge is deciding how many dungeons you want to skip. It's good to have a rough idea of how much Damage and Health you need to clear a dungeon quickly, with maybe 2 hits per monster, and then decide how much you want to push this comfort level.
4) You can waste a lot of time sorting inventory. I just distribute equipment according to Intelligence, Agility and Strength, and keep everyone fully equipped, with a few items of higher levels in reserve. I very rarely share equipment, unless something is really outstanding, choosing instead to do a dungeon 1 notch lower, rather than push the limits with the best equipment. If I were concentrating more in an individual session, I might share more equipment, but I usually play when I can be interrupted at anytime, and prefer not to do something where I can lose my train of thought and have to go searching and re-equiping.
For me this games is great when I don't want to think too much, and want something short that I can interrupt at anytime without forgetting what I was doing.
The game is good. Most of the negative reviews are due to the numerous bugs that rendered it nearly unplayable at launch. But the devs are constantly releasing patches and eliminating the bugs. The game, as of this review's date, is completely playable. I encountered no bugs during my 7 hours of play time.
However there are some down sides to this game. Death mechanic makes the game a bit grindy and it might be frustrating in later levels. If your character dies, it gets prisoned at that level and you have to rescue them with another character. And if your main char outlevels the other ones by far, then you have to level up another character, which might take some time. On the other hand, this mechanic forces you to be cautious. You can't just storm through dungeons. You have to keep track of your consumables, you have to plan ahead before entering a fight, and sometimes it can be better to just exit the dungeon and try again, rather than push your luck. I'm also leveling 3 chars: 1 str, 1 agi and 1 int char. This way, you can rescue your char as soon as it dies and you can make use of all the loot you get. Still, this prison thing is a bit harsh and I don't know whether I would start again if I lost all my chars in later parts of the game.
Another downside is the merchant. Equipment purchase is like Diablo's gambling. You can't see the stats, you can't see the level requirement (though you get a hint from its cost). I believe we should be able to see the stats of equipments that we purchase and this "gamble" thing should be an extra option.
Even with these negative aspects, the game is still fun and captivating. The fights are fun and it's not mindless button mashing; there are strategic elements to it, like positioning, pulling the mobs one by one, dealing with different types of mobs etc. I played most of the recent dungeon crawlers/board game type rpgs and Rezrog is way ahead of them.
Tl,dr: The game in its current state is playable and any dungeon crawler/roguelike/rpg fan should definitely give it a try.
A dungeon grinder rpg that is really simple with limied content, This game is for people who like grinding and don't mind lack of content.
That being said I will still NOT recomend it to anyone because of its gamebreaking bugs.
Frequently you will find yourself unable to complete a dungeon because a bug makes you unable to enter rooms you need to enter to progress, and all of your time spent in that dungeon will have been wasted. This Problem has existed since release and it still hasn't been dealt with. Until that happens do not buy this game.
Theoretically, this is a good, simple game. In practice, it's agony and frustration.
The graphics are nice, the gameplay simple but fun, etc. I wanted to like it - in fact, I do like the core game - but it's surrounded by so many problems that it's impossible to enjoy.
There are little things: no documentation, incredibly repetitive music. Some cludginess with the interface that makes inventory management awkward. (Want to see which character needs an item more? Go to one screen to trade the item, then back out of that, select a different screen to compare the stats/equip, back out and repeat 6 more times). But those are tolerable. The gameplay itself is simple and may bore some people, but it was exactly what I was in the mood for.
But there are the bugs. Oh the bugs. There have been several patches and things are improving - but there's much much farther to go. Some examples:
1) numerous game-breaking rendering problems: flickering, only rendering some elements or rendering freezing entirely.
(Oh, you can still interact with the interface you just can't see anything). Every time you enter or exit a dungeon (or start the game), it's a coin toss if it will work or you will have to quite a restart. (Actually, a coin toss gives you better odds...)
2) Corrupt save files let you enjoy the frustration from the beginning! Force quitting the game risks corrupting your save file completely (complete reset of all progress). Unfortunately, due to issue #1, you're going to be force quitting a lot.
3) Impassable floors, passable walls. Some dungeons can't be completed because tiles will be (incorrectly) marked as impassable. Doorways/hallways are a favorite! Better still, using some skills and killing some monsters will sometimes leave a tile marked impassable. So you can walk into a room only to be trapped there. Quit the dungeon, lose your progress and risk bugs #1&2 an extra time. On the flip side, some walls aren't walls. You can walk through them and wander out into the non-game area! So can monsters! Monsters may also walk through what you thought was a wall. Thought you were safe there? Nope, you're dead.
4) Stuck turns: Some skills attack multiple enemies. Timing issues with that seem to result in you and enemies moving simultaneously (sometimes). Then the game then doesn't know whose turn it is. Nobody is moving. You're stuck! Again! Quit the dungeon, lose your progress. Again!
5) Skills and items may or may not do what they say. Trust nothing. Skills, bonuses and items may or may not be applied. You ate 200hp worth of food? Well, for some reason you only healed 100hp. You're supposed to heal 10% health for every kill? That may or may not actually happen. Dungeon bonuses and skills also seem suspect at times but are harder to verify.
I finally quit playing when I realized I got no enjoyment from the game and that my reason for playing was to see if I could outsmart the bugs and still get through a fundamentally broken game. I really want those hours of my life back.
I loved this game, initially. I didn't mind going through each dungeon level multiple times.
What I mind is the fact that my game is perpetually crashed, I'm stuck in the tavern with the Characters (I) appearing, unable to click, move, progress or interact. It seems as if all my progress is gone, and I just can't continue playing.
I don't know if or when I'll pick it back up, I'm that thoroughly disappointed.
EDIT: four years later and I still can't play and no community response either. I thoroughly recommend avoiding this game, and this Dev, forever.
To be honest i am a HUGE fan of PnP so this game was a must have. And in the beginning everything was great, it crashed 4 times until it finally launched but that was fine. I thought it's my computer causing trouble again and as i started playing, i forgot about this rather small nuisance. Got a little frustrated when my first dude died, but i thought "wow, this game is quite challenging" ... so i began to grind exp and gear, am a huge fan of the game over all and the different classes, altho you can give every char every skill and only the stats per level change.
Buuut when I started leveling my archer was when all those filthy bugs crawled out of their caves:
first my inventory got deleted after EVERY dungeon. I found a nice weapon or piece of armor? Well fuck, its gone now ... and have you ever tried a dungon without pots? Its hell!
So the only reasonable thing to do was ragequit, but i tried playing it today again when the best bug occured:
When clicking the "play"-button i saw my characters and all, which was great. Buuuut the tutorial message popped up that i can select my character, sash, skills etc - bullshit, i couldn't click anything. Esc didn't work, lmb and rmb didnt work. Fortunately closing it via task manager worked, money was a waste so far and i am beyond tilted.
Within the first half hour of playing, two game-breaking bugs occurred:
1. One of the game's pop-up panels could not be closed. It was in the foreground, so that I could not press the buttons of looting pop-ups that appeared behind it.
2. I could not traverse a room - all possible paths were blocked by objects. There was only one other room left unexplored in the dungeon, so the blocked room prevented me from solving the dungeon, and my character got stuck there.
I refunded. Would I try this game again? Sure, once I get the impression that more bugs have been removed.
The 15 or so minutes I could actually play the game felt quite adventurous and challenging.
I find the game fun, but with some flaws that should have been ironed out before being a full release on steam.
The good:
-Great aesthetics
-Good dungeon crawl feel
-Interesting looking characters
-you aren't locked into any one path with any character, if you really want your mage to go sword and board, they can, it just won't be as effective as having the dwarf do it.
-challenging difficulty
-Interesting approach to permadeath, if you die in the dungeon, that character is stuck there until another character rescues them, if all your characters get stuck, GG
-Legacy points give you some Roguelite progression
-monsters have the same limitations as players, they don't have limitless manapools, if you run one out of mana, they can't keep on summoning pets to destroy you.
The bad
-some game breaking bugs that should have been ironed out prior to release
-quite grindy, you have to go through the first mission at least 7 times to get all the skills and starting weapons for your characters, assuming you don't die to the wizard at the end of the level and have to rescue that party member and try again.
-BUGS... currently as of last night, there are invisible blocks that can block critical doorways making a dungeon uncompleteable (hasn't happened to me yet, but happened to a friend streaming it and I've seein it happen in youtube videos. The shared bank slots to store items and swap them between characters apparently deletes any items when the game is shut down and restarted. Sometimes when you rescue an NPC they just stand in the cell saying 'let's get out of here!' when interacted, but don't actually transport to the end of the level making the level unbeatable.
-Enemy AI can be pretty standard and is fairly exploitable, especially with ranged characters.
-can be a bit tricky to get to work with OBS for streaming, my friend got it up on twitch last night, but if he went into the options menu, the screen got stuck showing the options menu and wouldn't go back to gameplay automatically.
-no tutorial, very few tool tips to tell you how to succeed, so learning is pretty much by trial and error.
-Options menu is somewhat barren, no key rebinding, some interesting graphics options.
Conclusion: The game is quite fun, If you can put up with some game breaking bugs, go ahead and buy it and enjoy it as much as you can (I certainly am) but if you don't want to deal with the bugs, toss it on your wishlist and wait for Soaphog to fix the problems, which they seem to be on top of in the discussion area, having pushed some small patches already.
The game like any roguelike can be a bit punishing and it does have some tricky situations, like the mage at the end of the starter mission. Even with the bugs, out of about 25 people that watched the stream 4 of them either already bought it or said they were going to buy it, it IS a good game, just had a really rough launch.
For that mage btw, he summons a skeleton. The skeleton is a distraction, it can only do minimal damage while the mage proceeds to wreck you with his own spells, if you kill the master any summoned minions also instantly die, so focus the mage and ignore the pet to win that fight 90% of the time or more.
The good: Gameplay is good.
The first dungeon actually took a few tries to work out the strategy for dealing with one of the tougher enemies. I've seen a few reviews where people didn't like the difficulty or wanted a tutorial. I'm cool with it, no handholding, i'll sort it out myself.
This game reminds me quite a bit of sproggiwood. The graphics look nice, and the game run fairly well. I can play it on my work laptop (geforce 640m), it's quite playable at 1280x720 (30-45 fps) but my native res is 1600x900 (15-25) The game has target fps options (30,60,120, 140?), which is kind of nice, not only for 120 hz monitors, but locking the game at 30fps on a laptop can save battery.
The bad:
Buggy.
No 16x10/8:5 screen resolution support (my desktop monitor is 1680x1050).
I'll set the game to run windowed at 1600x900 and it'll run just fine, but at the end of the level it swaps back to some craptastic resolution.
Sometimes during loading the window flickers between higher resolution and lower resolutions (it'll spaz out and flash a small and then large box over and over).
Occasional weird issues with black triangles/black quarters of the screen during menus.
I haven't had any crash to desktop errors.
It'd be nice if there were more control options (none at all at the moment) . Right now clicking a tile moves your character or attacks, arrow keys rotate the camera, and then your standard diabloish numbers for the hotbar. Arrow key character movement (or wasd), and mouse for camera rotation would be nice.
Overall: not bad. The game came out today, it launched with linux support, and it runs (albeit buggy), so for day 1 it gets a solid B.
If your a fan of dungeon crawlers/turn based strategy/rogue-lite generes, it's probably worth a look. I've played the crap out of the s.t.a.l.k.e.r. series so i'm not afraid of a few bugs, but if you're wanting perfection, wait for a patch or two.
This game needs a tutorial, and a reworking. You don't control a party of adventurers, just one of them at a time, through a clumsy interface which has them walking through squares which damage them as often as not. Furthermore the game's set up so you'll have to run each of the seven adventurers through each dungeon individually.
And you can only target monsters along orthogonal lines, which is irritating. Better explanation would have had me less frustrated, but I'd still have asked for my money back.
Worst introduction to a game ever. I had to literally complete the starting dungeon seven times (once each with every character) to even unlock their starting weapons and abilities. Pair this with an unforgiving difficulty level and I must have done that first, dull dungeon a dozen times now. I'm 1,4 hrs into the game and feel tired of the grind already.
Judging by the difficulty curve of the following two dungeons, character progression will demand you do every dungeon with every character, that is a degree of grinding far beyond the worth of the casual-level enjoyment there appears be had here. I'm looking up Steam's return policy for the first time.
This game seemed rather exciting, and less than 20 minutes and 2 levels in, I was commited to playing this as my new time-killer; up until after reaching the end of the second level the game crashed and when I re-loaded I was unable to complete any dungeon, ever. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, I tried disbanding my party and resetting the game, tried deleting all local content in hopes it would erase whatever bug had occured, but all of it was to no avail. I can no longer progress the game in any way shape or form, which obviously makes this an unplayable game. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, or has encountered this themselves and has heard back from the makers of this game, please let me know. I would love to play this game - BUT only in a working condition.
EDIT: 5 (FIVE) patches later, the bug of being unable to complete a level still remains and this game is still unplayable for me. Everytime I try to complete the first level (on any character) I get to the end and it brings up the menu to select my reward, but it never allows me to click anything or complete the level; the game just stops there and the only way to do anything is to close the game. No matter how many times I try, or reset the party and try again, or uninstall and reinstall, this game remains unplayable. It's like the developers refuse to fix the gamebreaking bugs. Between this and the people who simply can't play because of the loading bug. Time to look up refunding.
Too many bugs making progression very difficult and time consuming as you have to restart levels and hope it does not bug out when you try it again.
