Stronghold’s Dungeon

bought this game cause it was fairly cheep and wanted to test it out, thought to myself "man with a lot of refinement this game could be really good" the look a see the dev seems to have stopped updating the game and moved on, leaving this game as more of a proof of concept

Game has very little content, and hasn't been updated it over two years. Don't waste your money.

[h1] Roguelite deckbuilder and dungeon crawler that [i]isn't[/i] trying to be Slay the Spire? [/h1] Unless that statement excites you, definitely not worth $7.99. More tech demo than game, but what's there is [u]FUN.[/u] Can't tell whether it's properly or poorly balanced, but it was satisfying to see a build (serial killer + zombie spawn + Tesla coil) through to a win. With so little content, meta progression ends up feeling like an afterthought. So much potential.

Really enjoyed the vary of builds possible. Wish there was more to the monsters but the curses add a bit of extra content that can either be extremely challenging or hardly noticeable. Definitely worth the price.

[edit] Okay, peeked at the forums, and this game hasn't gotten an update and the devs released another game in the meantime. Looks like this game's dead in early access - changing my thumbs up to thumbs down. A fun little romp if you can get it for a few bucks, but what you see is what you get. _______ I got it for four bucks. For four bucks, it's... all right. I got 2.6 hours as of right now, and just unlocked everything. It's one of those roulette RPG game things where you pick stuff every round and try for synergies. There's only... a few real synergies. Not a lot of cross-pollination with said synergies, with a few cases where if you don't RNG into an artifact, you've boned yourself (looking at you, zombies). After you beat the game, you can equip a "curse". There's like five of them, three shown at the start of a run. Pick one, it bones you, but you get a cheevo if you win with it. And there's two characters. The second one has the weirder mechanics, you know, like you would expect. I'm gonna say "yes" to recommending it, because honestly the idea's pretty fun and the animations are enjoyable. It's early access, so please, pleeeeease, add more stuff to this thing.

Not the most complex game but very enjoyable.
