Parallel Dungeons

You should not go to this if you want graphics or an interface that doesn't feel like a prototype (completely adequate). Or, heaven forbid, a story. You should be interested if you want some fresh mechanics in a rogue wrapper. The bars represent different universes - and so if you play a card that does 2 damage it will reduce the enemy HP in each universe by 2. If you play a card that has a 50% chance of doing 1-5, well, you get the picture. When your bar in a universe is reduced to 0 you lose that universe - when your opponents bar goes to zero you win that universe. If you survive in a single universe you continue - and get an extra universe - but the losses you got are permanent and the HP in a universe remains. Between rounds you can heal up a bit and buy some cards - your money depends on how many universes you survive with. This is not complex, but gives a lot of unique play; a card that does 2 damage in a normal game is generally boring - and here it plays differently depending on the states of all your different universes. I haven't played enough to see if the game maintain interest and exploresd the territory it has introduced, but the first three characters you play ar…

Giving this a review since imo it deserves hitting 10 for that algorithm boost. The visuals and themeing are really basic and dont appeal, but this is a really unique deckbuilder that uses its concept well. Its short, but a short but good game thats worth playing for the price. Reminds me of that one pokemon video about playing every seed at once, and its pretty fun. Im not deep in but I have found the game a bit easy so far, but thats not bad at all really and again, still early on.

It's got some cool mechanics and lo-fi vibes, but ultimately the gameplay's just not very engaging. A lot of my runs suffered from heavy RNG-grind, and the benchmarks feel unclear on whether I was playing to eke by or dominate a score attack. It also feels a little repetitive and undercooked, like if the dev ran an indie studio could have a team workshop this idea further, polish, and test before some parasite will invariably come along and crib it anyway. I'm a fan of this dev's other games, and this one isn't necessarily bad, there's just dozens of deckbuilding roguelikes on the market that do it better.

Fun little game, with a neat premise for its core gameplay. Really looking forward what the dev comes up next!

Super clever premise for a roguelike! There are so many cards and abilities that play on the parallel worlds mechanic in interesting ways. Would definitely recommend!

Can already tell that it's very fun
