    Game is reasonably bug free as of October 2020. (3rd patch or something)

    Solid turn based crpg with an emphasis on combat and nicely voice-acted silly dialogue. Both of which are executed expertly and represent the main selling point of the game.

    The UI on PC could be better but other than that its quite good for an indie crpg.

    The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk es un juego que está bien, pero con luces y sombras fuertes. La primera sombra está en la historia y es que, en general, no solo no es una buena historia sino que no consiguió hacerme reír en ningún momento; alguna sonrisilla puntual en algún comentario si, pero nada realmente hilarante, por ser todo demasiado obvio y previsible. El humor, sin duda, es algo muyThe Dungeon of Naheulbeuk es un juego que está bien, pero con luces y sombras fuertes. La primera sombra está en la historia y es que, en general, no solo no es una buena historia sino que no consiguió hacerme reír en ningún momento; alguna sonrisilla puntual en algún comentario si, pero nada realmente hilarante, por ser todo demasiado obvio y previsible. El humor, sin duda, es algo muy subjetivo. Pero lo que sí que funciona muy bien es el sistema de combate, donde las acciones con los distintos personajes, las configuraciones del entorno y la variedad de enemigos hacen que los combates sean realmente interesantes. Unido esto a un sistema de progresión de personajes que se nota su impacto en la partida, hace que la jugabilidad esté muy bien. Aunque, eso si, de rol tiene poco, es casi más un juego de estrategia por turnos a lo XCOM que realmente un juego de rol, ya que apenas hay decisiones que tomar ni personajes que interpretar.

    El apartado técnico es otra de las fuertes sombras. Gráficamente es un juego, en el mejor de los casos, discreto. Y lo mismo se puede decir del sonido. El verdadero problema está en la optimización del juego, que da problemas de VSync en monitores de alto refresco (hay que desactivarlo) que llevan a sobrecalentar el ordenador y reiniciarlo si juegas demasiado tiempo seguido; y como eso, en general, todo el apartado técnico del juego funciona menos fluido y bien de lo que uno podría esperar de un juego con este aspecto, con unos tiempos de carga algo más largos de lo esperado y una tasa de FPS menor de la que debería tener.

    Por todo ello, Dungeon of Naheulbeuk es un juego con luces y sombras fuertes en ambas direcciones. A mi me ha entretenido más que frustrado, así que lo recomiendo, pero sin duda dista mucho de ser un juego perfecto. Un 6.    … Expand

    The game is OK, but the English voice acting is cringy, especially from Felicia Day, the fake gamer girl who in the past said she was almost 'abused" because some guys in GamerGate T-shirt walked past her on the street without even looking at her.

    Dissapointed. What a pity of game. It has GREAT graphics, good animations, good history.. BUT..

    And it is a BIG BUT.. Gameplay is so frustrating. Lets go point by point: 1-Combats are SCRIPTED!!! , no matters how many times you reload a savegame the same conclusion is gonna happen ( if the computer has decided this turn your character is gonna have a critical failure, that will    Dissapointed. What a pity of game. It has GREAT graphics, good animations, good history.. BUT..

    And it is a BIG BUT.. Gameplay is so frustrating. Lets go point by point:

    1-Combats are SCRIPTED!!! , no matters how many times you reload a savegame the same conclusion is gonna happen ( if the computer has decided this turn your character is gonna have a critical failure, that will happens ALWAYS) so whats the point on save in the middle of combats?

    2-Combats take years! And specially this turn base combat feels old and clunky. Jesuchrist I don't want to micromanage and select the direction the character is gonna face, make that automatic to the best option.

    3-Enemies do so much damage that it is annoying. Even a little goblin can do 20 or more damage per turn to your armoured tanks. Team characters are all time dying because of the poor balance of the enemies. And I'm playing in "Normal" difficulty.. lucky of me that I didn't select the Hard one.

    4-Movement in the normal map is also annoying, camera controls and UI too.

    5-Loading times are.. veeeery long. So this makes combats even more annoying when you have to reload a lot because of the unfair computer.

    6-Loot is poor. A sword cant be used for other sword wielding chars just because isn't made for you.

    7-Chars has healing skills that can use inside combat for free but they cant use it outside combat because of .. poor gameplay design. So you have to waste potions if you want to heal outside combat even if u have a f****ng cleric in your team

    So basically.. a beautiful game that you don't want to play because is clunky in mechanics.    … Expand

    Packed with humour, laughs and pop culture references sprinkled on top with some RPG elements. The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is a very specific game for a very specific audience, but it can easily surprise even the most generic players.

    Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos has a lot of obstacles in its way from becoming a solid gem worth your time. The first few hours are a bit of a drag to get through since the majority of this time you’ll spend either hating the dialogue or hating the difficulty from the (more predetermined than random) RNG that this game employs. Trudge through this and you’ll find that the learning curve gets easier, the writing simmers down a bit, but the difficulty still remains the same.

    For a game that mocks RPG clichés and pelts you with endless stream of hit-or-miss jokes and cultural references, The Dungeon of Nabe… Nehu… Neul… goddamit… The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is surprisingly solid in terms of gameplay mechanics and features genuinely fun tactical combat. [12/2020, p.68]
