    Dungeon Drafters is the Mystery Dungeon-Phantom Dust hybrid I never knew I needed in my life. It has all the excitement and challenge of a dungeon-diving adventure, bundled together with the one-more-pack thrill of a card-collecting game.

    Dungeon Drafters is a decent roguelite game with some enjoyable card mechanics and an above-average level of polish. For players who aren’t too concerned about gameplay balance, there’s a lot to like here. Unfortunately, a few design decisions feel like they’re at odds with the deck customization gimmick that runs at the core of the game and keep it from being all it probably could be. This wouldn’t be my first choice in the genre on the Switch by any means, but if you chew this kind of game up and spit it out then it will keep you happy for a little while.

    While an improvement upon the original PC releases, Dungeon Drafters still has a few lingering issues. From boss balancing issues to a script that desperately demands proofreading, you’ll encounter frustration Yet, for all these faults, there is potential in the mixture of grid-based movement and the sheer abundance of card-based attacks. Maybe another patch is in the cards.
