Dungelot: Shattered Lands

grindy as ♥♥♥♥ mobile port that's also overpriced as ♥♥♥♥ ($10). I still enjoyed it for way longer than I expected.

So this positive comes with a big caveat - you must like grinding, and appreciate when a game just doesn't want you to win. Can I not review as 'OK, if you like that sort of thing'?

Too grindy.

This structure creates a constant sense of anticipation because each decision carries consequences. Players must carefully balance exploration with survival, deciding whether to continue searching for rewards or conserve resources for future encounters. The game’s design rewards observation and planning, making every du…
