In fact you will find yourself dying many times in-game as you battle your way through each quest partly thanks to the luck of the draw and partly due to the in-game AI.
#GUILD OF DUNGEONEERING BUILDS FULL#
Despite the fact that you can create your own dungeon in game the game is by no means easy because of it, you can't just make a dungeon full of loot and no enemies and walk to the end. Luckily though they are uniquely designed and quirky enough to keep you wanting to explore more and to see what you will have to contend with next.Īt the start of each turn you are dealt a random hand of five cards which may contain dungeon pieces, loot and even enemies to allow you to construct your own adventure.
Even the powerful end of level bosses for the most part share the same card pool you will be familiar with.
If your enemies had access to some unique cards with unique abilities depending on their character and class it would have given the combat an extra level of depth and strategy that would have only elevated an already fun game. However combat between the variety of enemies that you will face can feel slightly repetitive due to the fact that they all share the same pool of cards for the most part. The character design for all of your foes being very distinctive and pleasing to the eye even for the regular mobs. The end of dungeon bosses are a lot more exotic and unique compared to the regular dungeon creeps, you even encounter mythical monsters such as Medusas, minotaurs and more which keeps things nice and varied on the aesthetic level. The enemies you battle come in many different varieties too consisting of the usual fantasy fare of goblins, spiders, snakes and so on. This is a shame because it means you fail to grow an attachment to any of your Dungeoneers as they go out into the world, however there is a benefit in that when you die, and you will die often, it does not feel like you have lost any progression which would have added a lot of frustration to the experience. However progression only lasts for one dungeon, any loot you find and any levels you gain for a particular character get reset when you finish a Dungeon and of course when you die. The different loot you unlock in your guild and find in dungeons unlocks further cards in your deck in-game. As you progress in game an earn more gold you can afford to unlock higher tier characters and loot that you can find in the dungeons. The items you equip to yourself as you explore each dungeon further expand your deck with new more powerful cards while at the same time you passively level up and gain more health and so on with every battle. There is a large variety of classes of heroes to unlock, from warriors, to mages to thieves and more, the difference between them in-game being the pool of cards available to them in battle and some passive buffs that they have.
This is a shame as slightly more depth in that area could have really elevated the game and made it more compelling in the long run. You just add an extra section to your Guild once you buy it and then you do not need to think about it again until you have earned enough gold to buy another section. Sadly other than buying and slotting on extra sections to your Guild there is no real depth to the base management element of the game. You unlock extra sections of your guild by purchasing them with the gold you gather in dungeons by defeating enemies and completing objectives so it is in you best interests to keep the game challenging to get the most out of your runs. This is how you unlock new classes of heroes with upgraded abilities and expand the pool of loot and weapons available to you when you are in dungeons. At the core of the game is a base management element, which consists of building and expanding your Guild. Along with its simple but distinctive art style and an amusingly catchy musical score, Guild of Dungeoneering is a deceptively simple game with a lot of charm. The fresh ideas being the addition of card based mechanics and combat that allow you to lay out your own dungeons to explore in order to complete each dungeon's objectives. Guild of Dungeoneering takes the turn based dungeon crawler formula and infuses it with some fresh ideas to create a fun and original experience.
