    This game is like another pixel-dungeon crawler game called legend of dungeon with many of the mechanics still glued to the idea-board of cash-in-devs so don't expect this one to be too different from my review on that game.

    Still, Delver is like an arcade game. You get one chance to collect goodies, slay monsters, and explore the dungeon that you've entered without even coming across    This game is like another pixel-dungeon crawler game called legend of dungeon with many of the mechanics still glued to the idea-board of cash-in-devs so don't expect this one to be too different from my review on that game.

    Still, Delver is like an arcade game. You get one chance to collect goodies, slay monsters, and explore the dungeon that you've entered without even coming across the thaught of necromancer skeletons. If you die: You're dead. No going back on this one, you have to start from the beginning.

    And that is something i don't like with the game, same with Legend of dungeon where you will die a LOT without at least SOME experience.

    Regarding the rest of this Indiana Jones nightmare it has a variety of things that wants you to keep going deeper into the dark caverns. To cut the chatter here are the most recognizable features:

    1) Loot. Loot spawns frequently within the areas that you are in, wheather it's from a crate that you just ninja-slashed open or a Chun Li'd thug that you just kicked the absolute bag out of. From potions, to weapons, food , shields , wands , and other fun stuff :).

    2) Beat em' up mechanic. It's always fun to enter a room full of baddies,either it is with a chance to find better armor or something else you need or maybe you just want to kick some ees >:D

    So this is the point where i round up things in a nice sack of beans :]

    Pros:

    1) Loot drives the game forward
    2) Fun combat

    Cons:

    1) One chance, if you're dead. You're dead.
    2) Kind of repetetive at some points
    3) Soundtrack just **** LOOPS!!!

    It's kind of a 50/50 deal we have here but still, the game is fun and i suggest that you watch a gameplay video of the game before buying it just in case you're not trusting me :P. In my opinion i'm just giving this game a higher score than planned because i like it, i'm just a sucker for pixel-games you know?

    This game gets a "Meh, but still ok" score.    … Expand

    Apart from little variety of enemies and interiors this roguelike’s biggest flaw is that it does nothing to draw the player away from the boring playstyle based on eliminating enemies from a safe distance. [04/2018, p.68]
