i don't know why anyone compares this to Minesweeper. it plays alot like Desktop Dungeons (DD): you reveal tiles and then decide how to handle the things that you found. like DD it's very random driven and you can have lots of good or bad luck. but you play so many dungeons in a short time, that it doesn't matter. you also have a powerup system on the metagame: using the gold earned in dungeons you can unlock new heroes and upgrades that will help in future games (alot more useful than many of the upgrades in DD). contrary to DD, your goal is not to beat single dungeons one after the other, but to go as deep as possible in one dungeon (roguelike). it also has the same problem as DD, which is deaths from accidental missclicks. but in this case it's not so bad, because you play to die anyways, and - contrary to DD - you make progress on the metagame when dying (you keep your gold and can use it to buy upgrades). it also has events and some sort of story. one drawback is, that much is not explained, so mostly you stumble around trying to figure out how exactly things works. i guess that's part of the game. there's a short tutorial at the start that shows you the basic rules, enough to play. it's an awesome game, especially for that price tag.
the game is great. you play dungeon after dungeon, getting new buildings and unlocking more classes, races and items. the one thing that stopped me, and still keeps me, from playing, is deaths from accidental missclicks. there is no reason why you would ever want to attack a monster that kills you. yet it happens because i like to play and click very fast. the game does give a visual warning when you're about to suicide, but it does not stop you from doing so or ask confirmation. if you're the kind of guy who thinks every move through 3 times before actually doing it, you won't have that problem and it's a clear 5-star game. but if you play fast, it will happen. that's why only 4 stars from me. it's been over a year since i've played it until the official end and i have no desire to play it again.
