personally i think this game is a little goated
Identifile: Desktop Dungeon is a unique rogue-lite dungeon crawler and action computer game. Unlike most dungeon crawlers, this game is set within a simulated computer operating system, with its four disk drives as its dungeons. The objective of this game is to use the cursor of your choice, even with its own playstyle, to fight back computer viruses, each with its own attack pattern, and defeat the four boss viruses, whilst avoiding enemy fire. The point-and-click combat in this game is reminiscent of that of the Fly Swatter mini-game in Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo. And not all selectable cursors require you to click on enemies to defeat them. This can help reduce hand strain, especially when you do not feel like rapid-clicking. For example, the Selection Cursor only requires you to hover your mouse over viruses to attack them via damage-per-second (DPS). The Recycling Cursor requires you to hover your mouse over collectible files to use as a rotating barrier, much like the Leaf Shield, and similar weapons in the Mega Man series. As you play this game multiple times, you are more likely to unlock new cursors to experiment with, as well as equippable in-game mods…
If they give us infinite mode you can have my soul
This game is right up my alley--I love the nostalgic operating system vibe. I love the creative way that the viruses were brought to life as enemies or bosses you battle. This game has all of the elements from the best roguelikes out there and it's incredibly fun. Highly recommend--lots of bang for your buck here and I'm sure there's only more to come!
i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ finally got the DVD achievement it finally hit the corner
I think that the premise of the game is quite fun. When you have the right augments the run becomes super easy and when you don't well, the run is extremely challenging. Right now, the part that annoys me the most is that sometimes when I encounter a battle or a boss the game will lag uncontrollably and eventually crash. There is currently no autosave progress so I lose the entire run if my computer crashes out during the battle. For now, I can't recommend the game until it's fixed. Edit: So it seems if I play in full screen mode, the game crashes a lot. I changed it to borderless and I haven't crashed since doing that.
