●LIVE IN DUNGEON

An interesting concept, but poor execution. LIVE IN DUNGEON is a short first person RPG where you are an adventurer live-streaming your exploration, and replying to chat messages gives you power. Behind the great presentation and concept however, leaves a very lackluster game. Now such a short game should not be as grindy as it is, not to mention the actual battles are very barebones and the timer mechanic is awful. There's a cat, but it doesn't do anything and is barely seen. I mean, having the cat as a party member or occasional assist would have been better than making it a useless mascot that does nothing. Also, about halfway through the game they disconnect you from your chat, making the main mechanic you're meant to rely on in the game inaccessible. This just made this game which already felt like such a slog to get through even more frustrating. controller support was not well integrated either. It felt like it was only partially supported and the instructional icons don't even change, making very basic aspects of the game such as replying to comments impossible for controller players. I also encountered plenty of glitches where the game would just freeze up and stop disp…

Live in Dungeon is a short and streamlined dungeon crawler that incorporates a unique feature of interacting with a 'live' chat to boost your abilities. However, the game is quite short and you can finish it in just one evening, leaving little reason to revisit it. Despite this, the quirky gameplay mechanic and great presentation makes it worth checking out. I am excited to see what the developer has in store for their next release.

[h1] A Cool Premise That is Executed Well! [/h1] [hr][/hr] To put it simply, you are an adventurer streaming your first official adventure while people comment about events, environments around you, and even battles. Your job is to choose the best responses for these comments which leads to unique benefits. This reply system helps keep the game engaging throughout your entire journey. The most enjoyable aspect of the game is the enemy encounters. The battles are in active time so your actions have a waiting time depending on the strength which in turn, gives you time to reply to people's comments. You get unique benefits for perfect responses like faster actions, unique buffs, and special actions. Balancing out perfect replies on viewers' reactions, the enemies actions, and your waiting times is the key to success. (Especially in later encounters and bosses) My only drawback is the game's length since there is still so much unexplored potential with the combat system and exploration. More dungeons with active gimmicks and expanded battle mechanics would make this game practically perfect.

fun little romp

Great

Rare short RPG, very short, you can finish it in an afternoon. The core combat's fairly simple, though juggling combat and responding to your comments is hectic. Has a bit of funny comments to go with the streamer theme too.
