    Gameplay becomes pretty repetative and boring after a short while, which is why I feel no urge to try and finish the game. Story is basically a little back and forth between narator and player aka Dandy Ace, no backstory other than the intro before the game even starts. Visuals are actually what got me to try the game in the first place, but them too after a while become rather repetative.Gameplay becomes pretty repetative and boring after a short while, which is why I feel no urge to try and finish the game.

    I have no complaints here. The game is just that darn good. Buy it and also support Balan Wonderworld? Why? So the creator of Balan Wonderworld and Dandy Ace can collaborate in some form or fashion. I would love to see Balan meet Dandy Ace one day. I really hope to see some fan art/ fan comics of these two characters one day. With a couple more patches to fix gameplay bugs/glitchesI have no complaints here. The game is just that darn good.

I really hope to see some fan art/ fan comics of these two characters one day. With a couple more patches to fix gameplay bugs/glitches pertaining to combat and etc., the game will be an even greater hit. Too bad that this game will "overshadowed" by other generic/run of the mill AAA games or another battle royale. Please support this game and give your thanks to the team behind it! Expand

    I'm loving dandy ace. It's a really good rogue-like and it reminds me of hades a lot.

    I didnt finish it yet, but the story is fun with good characters, but the best, of course, is the gameplay. So much fun.

    storyline is mediocre at best, and gameplay just doesn't hold up in a world where Hades exists. I tried to give it a chance (4 hours of gameplay) but all it ended up doing was make me long for another hades run. Fans of the genre will most likely enjoy it to an extent, but gameplay was too repetitive for me to continue

    Um excelente roguelike para quem é apaixonado no gênero e busca diversão, bebe da mesma fonte de Hades e com certeza pegou o melhor caminho na inspiração do mesmo.

    This game has been a fun experience it is loaded with cheesy puns and really leans into the magician theme. I had to adjust a little from other Roguelikes for the way skills functioned but once I found a rhythm for this game it became a lot of fun.

    Really curious to see if things are going to be added to the game I did find the initial victory over the last boss a little lackluster but

    Dandy Ace is a fun, vibrant roguelike with its own distinctive personality and a cool combat system. [06/2021, p.65]

    I enjoy roguelikes in general and I did enjoy the card-combining mechanics overall, but it feels a bit like the window for Dandy Ace‘s success has now closed.

    Overall, I like Dandy Ace a fair bit, but the story doesn't do quite enough to drive you to do more runs, and there were a few times when things felt grossly unfair due to the sheer volume of enemies that some rooms spit at you. The card combination system is wonderful to use though, and that'll keep mechanically-minded players involved for a fair while with Dandy Ace.
