Greedy Dungeon

Greedy Dungeon is an enjoyable indie roguelike that successfully combines dungeon exploration, deck-building strategy, and RPG progression into a compact but rewarding adventure. Developed by Dern Lin and published by DDLin, the game embraces familiar mechanics while presenting them in a way that feels approachable and satisfying. Rather than overwhelming players with an excessive number of systems, it gradually introduces new mechanics that naturally build upon one another, creating an experience that is easy to learn yet capable of providing many hours of replayability. Every journey into its procedurally generated dungeons presents fresh opportunities, encouraging players to adapt their strategies instead of relying on a single formula. Although its presentation is modest compared to larger titles in the genre, the gameplay loop proves engaging enough to keep players returning for another run. Exploration forms the foundation of the experience, with randomly generated dungeons ensuring that every expedition offers a different layout, enemy arrangement, and collection of rewards. This unpredictability captures the spirit of roguelike games, making each run feel like a new challe…

Let's get the elephant in the room out of the way before moving further. Yes, the English translation is not great, but this game barely has any story, and you won't deal with the broken English outside of the tutorial, for the most part, so it's a rather minor nitpick, if any at all. This has pretty good ideas, like how the debuffs are different from what you see in 95% of other games where you see bleed and freeze, the upgrading of your cards to keep what you like relevant, no matter how late in the game, and the concept of the 'greed' is what makes this game good. Basically, you pick up loot, which clogs your deck, making it riskier to take fights, but the more you have, the more you can take back home to improve yourself. That was a fun concept. Animations are pretty minimal, and I don't particularly dig this artstyle. Variety is lacking, you either shoot the guy in the middle, shoot the guy in the front, or shield; that's the entire game. The resource management system is interesting, as well as the picking up of limited use, temporary cards, but they don't make the dungeons not feel repetitive and tiring. Instead of 12 grinding fights per mission, I would have preferred…

Fun light weight deck builder dungeon crawl. Game can be used to showcase and teach the general mechanics. There is a ton of repayable with the relic systems building fun combos and seeing how they interact with each other.

This game was fine. It's not the most challenging one and I got bored long before getting the 100 quest achievement (I'm at 51), but I enjoyed it for some ~10 hours, which makes it worth the price.

It is good to kill a few hours.

Full of ugly art and bad translations
