Dungelot: Shattered Lands - Review

Diehard Gamefan reviewed the rogue-like Dungelot: Shattered Lands:

Review: Dungelot: Shattered Lands (PC)

The roguelike genre has only been getting stronger in recent years, and there seems to be no end to the innovation that indie developers will bring to their attempts. The Dungelot series has existed as a footnote on mobile devices for a while now, but the developers think they’ve finally got it right. To prove this, Shattered Lands has made its debut on steam. Can this tile flipping dungeon crawler impress in one of the most crowded genres on the market?

[...]

All things considered, Dungelot is an addictive and entertaining game that manages to sink its hooks into the player for a good while. The magic might start to wear off before you fell the final foe, but you’ll ultimately leave the game with a positive experience. It won’t revolutionize the genre in the way it might have hoped, but it does show that roguelikes are capable of a lot more than simple hacking and slashing. It’s worth a look to be sure.

Dungelot: Shattered Lands - Review

by Hiddenx, 09:23

Hardcore Gamer reviewed the rogue-like Dungelot: Shattered Lands:

Many years ago a curious application appeared on the internet.  The virtual mad scientist’s laboratory created a composite image of what the offspring of two people could potentially look like based on an individual photograph of two individuals, where same gender and interspecies breeding were not out of the question.  The appearance of these unholy abominations ranged forcing the viewer to engage in battle against the lunch uprising to requiring the need for neonatal exorcism.  The same concept of seemingly incompatible sources resulting in the creation of a new entity is not uncommon in the gaming world.  Sometimes these multi-genre experiments result in something only the mad scientist playing godmother could love, while other times the results are surprisingly pleasant.  Dungelot: Shattered Lands fits the latter category, which is surprising considering its lineage can be traced back to a brief clandestine affair where age meant absolutely nothing between Rogue Legacy and Minesweeper.

Closing Comments:

Dungelot is an enjoyable roguelike that can provide a challenge to players of almost any skill level without becoming frustrating.  The twisted humor tinyBuild is known for combined with addictive easy to pick up, difficult to master gameplay makes this title a worthwhile addition to any roguelike fan’s library, especially ones with a penchant for puzzle games such as Minesweeper.

Score: 4/5

Dungelot: Shattered Lands - Released

by Hiddenx, 10:09

The child of Minesweeper and a rogue-like - Dungelot: Shattered Lands - has been released:

Dungelot: Shattered Lands takes you on an epic roguelike dungeon-crawler adventure to defeat zombie cows, splat giant evil mushrooms, and generally get back home in one piece. Deceptively simple, ever so addictive.

  • Three worlds to explore with endless modes unlocking after each one
  • 4 Characters to upgrade, each with distinctive play styles
  • 18 Dungeons to fight through
  • Mini games to uncover, side-quests to undertake
  • Bosses to fight, merchants to trade with, and secrets to uncover
Developed by Red Winter, a two man studio based in Russia, Dungelot: Shattered Lands is the third part in the popular series, and tasked the player with traversing randomly-generated dungeons, smashing enemies in the face and hunting for the keys that will allow you to venture even further. Dungelot originally became a cult hit thanks to its addictive "just one more go" feel, and with Shattered Lands, the Dungelot formula has now been fully realized.

Dungelot: Shattered Lands
will feature dozens of hours of content, with three worlds to explore, hundreds of items, spells and enemies, and epic boss battles that will burn your face off.
