The full Review can be found here: https://youtu.be/Nr-Zfe7mDeM I would have wished that EXPLOR did more according to what the name implies...as in Exploring. Exploring of alien Planets. Having an adventure. I would be fine with low production values, similarly as in the spiderweb games, if the game offered good world building with great storywriting or if it offered great combat mechanics. But unfortunately that's not the case here. It's nice that the game does have at least a few texts and NPCs with quests, but overall there is really just a very minimum of storytelling here. And while I would neither classify the Dungeons, nor the Combat, nor the Characterdevelopment as catastrophy, they are just means to an end. If just one of the main elements of the game was great, you could have looked over the other ones. But as it is, the overall experience can't really convince. Fortunately EXPLOR does at least throw those mechanics overboard, which annoyed me the most in The Bards Tale 1, in the original as well as in the remake. You will neither find endless grind in EXPLOR nor the misery of randomized level ups. And so personally I would definitely chose EXPLOR over The Bards Tale. T…3 found this helpful
Fun little dungeon crawler that is totally worth the price.2 found this helpful
A fun dungeon crawler. Not sophisticated, but it does what it does well enjoyably. Low price for hours of fun. If you like these kind of games, then you will more likely than not enjoy it; if you don't care for such games, then this isn't likely to change your mind. Well, you've read through all of this, so you may as well buy it.
While not a complex game, or a long one (6-10 hours to complete), this is still a satisfying casual hack-and-slash. Progress is quick, and the steep power curve means that every level-up or new piece of gear makes a big impact. It's also very polished and well-programmed - any bugs here are negligible. There's not much in the way of combat tactics or party-building, but that works out fine for a straightforward dungeon bash like this. At only US $8, it's worth it at full price. Grab it when you just want to slaughter a horde of monsters and rack up experience points.
wonderful Game its worth it a little short but I have never felt so accomplished when I finished a game like this!
Fun. Polished. Worth 8 bucks for sure.
