Dandy Dungeon - Legend of Brave Yamada -

Loved this game back when it was still on mobile. So far this version doesn’t disappoint either. This version is free from the f2p mechanics that it had on phones, and It’s a real gem. Gameplay is quite unique and the story and characters are… crazy weird lovable. You can see a lot of love has been put into this by the devs!

Some points of critique:

  • An important/critical gameplay mechanic (“0-hp healing”) is never explained in-game

  • Overall, the pacing of the game has some problems. Some dungeons (and especially some bosses) are quite hard or almost impossible to beat without specific resistances, but the equipment that gives you those are hard to discover or only unlocked quite late. (Still looking for ice resistance shield at the time of writing this…)

Don’t get me wrong the game was fun and charming but some people including me run into some major bug. If you are one of the lucky one whose games don’t get bug, then good for you. While they do accept bug report, they never tell us when exactly will they fix said bug. Also none of the people who posted about bug on steam ,never said that the latest patch fix their bug.

This is the bug I have. I can’t access the special store in which preventing me from getting revival item aka riceball. Not having revival item isn’t game-breaking right now but when part 2 hit us ,the game difficulty will increase even more. Plus they will add new costume in that shop meaning I will be missing out on content (that I paid for). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alnuxdj4qhQ

The game is awesome. I had fun playing and making different decisions for my games and felt addicted at some stages. Non-game developers will definitely get an idea and insights into the game development process after playing this game.
