About Once upon a Dungeon II
✦ AI summary
Explore a Slavic mythology-inspired open world and procedurally generated dungeons as a disgraced adventurer, deciding whether to aid the king or the old gods while fighting turn-based battles with dynamic status effects and loot-driven progression. Recruit allies who level up alongside you, craft and merge equipment, and master a deep combat system featuring Slavic god statues that serve as both powerful equipment and active combatants in battle.
Introduction
I thought I had fulfilled my duty - the dungeon cleared, the head of the Fallen One delivered to the king's court. Clearly I must have overlooked some evil minions. Moreover, while escaping, they took the Slavic Gods statues with them, master controlling them, thus becoming powerful foes. Now I have been blamed for the evil spreading throughout the country and am forced to sort it out. It's gonna be tough ...
Gameplay

Really fun little dungeon crawler that surprised me. It’s got that classic roguelike feel with turn-based combat, skill points, and tough enemies but also feels pretty chill if you tweak the difficulty. You can even turn off permadeath if you're not into that. The vibe is dark and moody, kinda reminded me of old-school games. Graphics are simple but they grow on you, and the sound effects (especially the rain) add a lot to the atmosphere. What really impressed me is how much effort the dev clearly put into this. Active updates, a free demo, and even a big new mode coming soon. For the price, you’re getting a lot. If you're into roguelikes or want to support passionate indie devs, this is an easy one to recommend.2 found this helpful
Once Upon a Dungeon II is a charming and unique adventure the art style is rather unique not my favorite but not terrible either the gameplay matters more to me its not like i bought and played games like caves of qud for the graphics. Its a nice little little dungeon crawler offers a refreshing experience for fans of the genre.1 found this helpful
The game is not too bad overall. A little rough around the edges and takes some time to get used to the system. Dev is active.
Once upon a Dungeon II immediately pulled me into a world that felt like stepping back into the Dark Ages full of looming shadows, mysterious ruins, and the thrill of becoming the hero in a land teetering on the brink of chaos. In this traditional roguelike, you’re set loose to explore world and be brave , dark dungeons while battling terrifying creatures and hunting down unique loot. What struck me most was how enjoyable the game feels from the first moment even though it’s a bit tough at the outset, that challenge quickly melts into satisfying mastery as you find your groove. The mechanics are tight and rewarding, and although the graphics are simple, they keep the performance demands low without sacrificing atmosphere. The voiceover and sounds design very well , i liked them they give such a vibe, surprised by the variety of weapons and spell that can make a lot of combos and tactics that you can build . in my game experience enjoyed every moment playing the game from sounds and the graphic design , i felt like a hero in comic art .
Overall great game, I enjoy the art style. It has lots of voice acting! It's also fun. It defiantly scratches the itch of rouge-like games and you can tell the people that made this game put a lot of effort into it.
good
