Play cards! Kill monsters! Level Up!
Dream Quest is a roguelike deckbuilding game inspired by the likes of Ascension, Magic: the Gathering, and Shandalar. Explore randomly generated levels as one of 13 classes in short, 30 minute, sessions. One floor might find your wizard in the crypt, another your warrior underwater, and a third, your assassin stalking a volcanic wasteland. As you progress, your characters earn achievements, each making your future runs a little easier or more interesting.
Combat is a card game. Your abilities are a deck of cards that you develop as you gain power. For example, a thief starts with a handful of Slice cards and a Backstab, but can learn defensive moves like Dodge or powerful finishing moves like Coup de Grace. Carefully choosing which cards to add to your deck is the heart of the game: wise choices will find you slicing through monsters while poor ones will leave you tripping over your own two feet.
Features:
13 different classes, with wildly different play styles
Over 300 cards, ranging from the defensive Kick and Armor to the devastating Meteor and Curse of Doom
More than 70 monsters carefully catalogued in the Bestiary as you encounter them
Infinite replayability – easily 50 hours to see the majority of the content
No In App Purchases – the price of the game is the price of the game. Everything is unlocked only by playing.

Dream Quest is a deck-building roguelite dungeon crawler. It's mostly interesting as a historical artifact. This is one of the granddaddies of the genre. And once you get past intentionally primitive looks you can see why it is. The gameplay is fun and your goal is turn your deck of cards into a well-oiled machine out of random elements you find; the monsters are there to test the performance of the machine and to throw wrenches into the cogs. Compared to something like Slay the Spire this game is more complex at its core mechanics, which allow for more approaches to character building. However, while the design is great it's hard to recommend this game. First issue is that while I can ignore (intentionally?) poor graphics I can't stomach the bad UI and overall user experience. There are no hotkeys, there's no speed control so it's hard to see what enemies are doing on their turn. You can't even turn off the music without turning off all sound.

I realized I never left a review for this game. This for me is the best roguelike deck builder.1 found this helpful
Don't be fooled by the simplistic look of this game, it is well worth the price, no matter how much you ask for it. This is a Roguelike card game that is very run-centric. You will die, A LOT, lol. Just take it in stride. This will run on any device up to HD resolution. Still here? Just buy it.1 found this helpful
