✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's solid core gameplay, engaging retro dungeon-crawling vibes, and the developer's courage in releasing a first project, though most agree it has rough edges worth polishing. Common feedback includes requests for balance adjustments (lower monster damage, better gold drops, free potions), quality-of-life improvements (better textures, less claustrophobic level design, a power-up codex), and roguelike progression features like carrying items between runs. The game's difficulty is seen as a strength by some but leaves others wanting better clarity on how collected items af

Don't sleep on this grinder from a first time developer. It's a bit rough around the edges but has some great game play ideas.

This game has some great ideas going, I would keep working on updates to improve the experience: 1. Make the HP potion in the shop free after each round 2. Lower the damage from the monsters 3. Make gold drops more frequent, maybe include a trophy to sell at the end of each round 4. Raise the room height several feet so it's not as claustrophobic. 5. Improve the wall textures, they're warping when you walk along them 6. Maybe let the player keep items from the previous run(s) like a Roguelike Thank you for having the courage to put a game out. I've tried many times to create a game and could never get everything together to put it out to the world.

Retro Dungeon absolutely lives up to its name. The throwback vibes hit pretty hard from the get go, while still keeping a solid pacing to maintain engagement. As others have noted, there's certainly some roughness around the edges, but that adds to the charm in most aspects, rather than taking away from it. I'd love to see a codex added for all the power-ups so you could see what you've collected previously and review them between runs and the like. Attacking also seems to have random power ups that I can't tell if they were added by my weapon, or by something else. I want to know how what I've collected is affecting me and the game so I can plan and hope for better runs in the future. There's nothing like chasing that one god run in a rogue-like. My only real complaint is the hallways. The texture effect is a bit too throw-backy for me. Everything else has a pretty solid feel to it.

Brutal! I thought I was pretty good at these games, but I guess not! Got my butt majorly kicked with this one. More updates, please!
