Level up four unique heroes with special powers and uncover dark secrets of their tragic past while facing randomly generated encounters across ten environments.
Dungeon Hearts fuses the strategy and pattern matching of puzzle games with the kinetic pace of action games. Align magical runes as they flow along the Fatestream to attack, defend, and conjure magic in frenetic battles against a bestiary of fantastic creatures out to use those same runes against you. Chain together multiple attacks and unleash powerful combos or call upon each hero's special attacks to devastate your enemies to survive the twists and turns of Dungeon Heart's evolving gameplay. Strike down all that stand in your way and level up your brave warriors as each foe grows more powerful than the last, culminating in the final battle with The Dark One himself!
"Four spirits race across the land, burdened with tragedy. Within each lies the specter of guilt and fear, which The Dark One bends to his will to enact his resurrection. They realize the deception too late as the promise of salvation turns to betrayal. A black wind washes over the planes, turning all to ash. As the fallen heroes face the engulfing void, a spark of hope clings to life. When the demon peered into their hearts to learn their secrets, so too did they learn his..."

Downloading this game what I thought was gonna be a quirky little “match-3 with a twist” kinda gig. Instead? I got a head-smashing throat choking piece of loitered early access candy crush but possibly far worse. The “twist”? four heroes glued to the left side of the screen like constipated action figures, while colored runes slither toward them like a gangbang of Skittles on cocaine. Each level? EXACTLY the same. Faster, messier, more cluttered than my browser history. In fact this game is even worse. Every second being played feels like a punch in the face. And when your hero dies, you just restart from scratch as if you have got nothing else to do in your non-dungeon life. What am I stupid idiot donkey ? Controls? Imagine trying to play Jenga with an octopus on meth. Dragging runes doesn’t work half the time, so you sit there smashing your mouse while the game whispers, “S it, loser.” Does it look like those achievements are meant to give your dying soul teensy bit of satisfaction ? Don’t get me started. “Oh, look, you survived two minutes without vomiting, here’s a trophy!” Where’s the story? Where’s the drama? Where’s the part where my heroes actually feel like heroes instead…3 found this helpful
The dungeon heart beats in my chest like a broken TV - I’m a happy hostage of its lags and immortal monsters with no save.1 found this helpful
its neither a good match three game nor a good strategy game
It's just a mobile game port. It works, and the match 3 game is fun enough for a time, but on PC the entire game is clicking and dragging with the mouse. It's not comfy.
So bad
Dungeon Hearts, developed by Cube Roots and published by Devolver Digital, is an ambitious attempt to merge the simplicity of a match-three puzzle game with the strategic rhythm of an RPG. The result is a fast-paced, sometimes frantic experience that challenges both reflexes and tactical thinking. At its core, the game presents a blend of chaos and control, demanding that players not only match colored runes but also manage a team of four heroes in battle. Each decision made on the puzzle board has an immediate impact on combat, blurring the line between traditional puzzle solving and real-time strategy. It is a concept bursting with originality, but also one that struggles to maintain balance between its competing systems, leaving the experience both fascinating and frustrating in equal measure. The premise is simple yet cleverly executed. Players guide four heroes along the “Fatestream,” a constantly moving track filled with colored tiles that represent attacks, abilities, and defenses. Matching three or more of the same color activates the corresponding hero’s skill—red for the warrior, blue for the mage, green for the archer, and yellow for the healer. As the tiles slide acros…
