Heroes of the Monkey Tavern

Just not a good game. I thought it be cool to not have the tile dancing but you just star at your portraits clicking your attacks. Its just a worse turnbased or active combat game. Many other better dungeon crawlers.

scratched my itch for a dungeon blobber. Quite short, linear, shame it wasnt developed further, but still fun

Unlike the previous dungeon crawler I played, Fall of the Dungeon Guardian, which by the way, both this game and that game are sold in a bundle along with other dungeon crawlers as well, this game is extremely short. It takes roughly 4-5 hours to finish this game. Now I gotta ask you, did you just recently play old Might and Magic games and would like some more Dungeon Crawlers? Do you find Fall of Dungeon Guardians too complicated and long? Well this is your game then. This is what I would call a true budget game. I don't know much about the developer but it seems this is the only game they have released on Steam, so I would assume this was just a simple indie side project. Now onto the game. The story is pretty basic, you are adventurers who were guided to raid a tower. You are looking for loot, that's it. Yep, not that deep of a story. Gameplay wise, combat is similar to old school Might and Magic and Legends of Grimrock, so not that complicated. You have your weapons, your potions, your spells... Pretty simple. That's what I would call this game: Simple, very simple. It's a game you buy for a price of a sandwich and you play for few hours to get that dungeon crawler itch…

Ah! The perfect game to satisfy that nostalgic need for classic dungeon crawlers. Simple, atmospheric, and hits all the right retro notes. I really enjoy the party composition—it's not overcomplicated, yet still provides enough options to choose from! The balance between spellcasting, melee, and ranged combat feels spot on; it doesn't overcomplicate things and mainly demands good timing with your clicks. Another shoutout goes to the secrets: their difficulty, quantity, and placement feel just about right. Honestly, the engagement/disengagement penalty is a really neat mechanic that completely eliminates the urge to kite monsters endlessly. Despite the short playtime, this is a must-play for anyone who enjoys Legend of Grimrock or the Might and Magic series - a nice break from the exhausting grinding routine.

I'm only recommending this game because of the price. The price makes it worthwhile because it's a very simple game. You go into a dungeon and see how far you can go. No going back to town and the only gear is what you find. it's fun for a while. But, it's frustrating when you get wiped because there's not much you can do about it. It's action combat, but there's no keybinds for attacking. You have to mouse click on the portraits. So, it's basically piano playing with your mouse. Like I said, fun for awhile.

Temu Legend of Grimrock but still a good game!
