Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition

While simple in game play, Desktop Dungeons is one of those rogue-like games that you can pick up and play in short stints. Definitely a game to have in the old GoG library.

Its Good

I've been playing Desktop Dungeons' daily dungeons for several months now and I'm just getting tired of the spiel. The problem is it doesn't feel difficult, it's like an illusion that seems to be designed to waste your time. (And get addicted I suppose) You get ultra easy dungeon settings sometimes that don't seem to have been designed at all. Other times, they just give you a class with extremely limited skills, with which you can't kill anything by level 3-4. Then they throw a bunch of perks in a dungeon and voilà, figuring the dungeon with this is supposed to be how the difficulty rating is set, but some of those don't seem made to be solved. Ultimately, this just creates a stench. The game is needlessly frustrating because that seems to be a recurring theme. Now, whenever I get a bad roll, I just suicide and re-roll on the next day. The game does not offer more depth in its complexity. You get a hero that sucks, figure out how to use him. Unfortunately, it's rather rare that I really feel challenged and that's why I wouldn't recommend this title as a good Puzzle game.

its puzzle game, very hard one, 4 stars cause you need some luck too. Soo it's nice try hard game.

Although it looks like a roguelike with similar graphic style and theme, it is actually purely a puzzle game with a roguelike skin. Which is a shame because i really would have enjoyed it more as a roguelike. The levels are random and the characters are standard fantasy but thats where the similarities end. The enemies stand still like statues and you are free to walk around them at your leisure. You start each map at level one and level up with a few kills but it only serves as a necessity to clear the appropriately matched monsters in order to progress. The game has its own share of tactics and style but it really doesnt deserve to be lopped into the roguelike genre.
