    This is the most boring and uninteresting game I've ever played!
    I have no words to describe how dull and empty this game is.
    It's a sheer disappointment that people who made FF series + FFT, DQ Series, Mana series, Nier series, PE series, Vagrant Story and many other good games, now make this nonsense.

    Mediocre. Full of intentionally obnoxious mechanics (petrify) to pass as difficult.

    Not worth 5 dollars, when there are so many games that are better and respect the player's time.

    Game is overly grindy. 99 Levels plus battles that you can’t possibly win when you first hit. Can’t run even with skill, forced to start all over. Basically forced hardcore. 99 levels is already grindy, why oh why add more things to force more grinding?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Negative gold. How is it possible. Few hours playing. Encounter a thief. All my gold stolen. Why not. But now I have - 30.000 gold. What a joke. Let's say I can make 100g per fight. Do the math. Stupid mechanic. I'm done with this game. Lost to mist time already. So much boring.… Expand

    Dungeon Encounters is a very difficult game to fault for its premise. It has very specific goals and it achieves them, much to the chagrin of the player and it achieves its goals thoroughly. This is definitely not something for the average Square Enix fan and caters more towards gamers who enjoy the likes of The Dark Spire or very old dungeon crawlers. Expect to have to rely on imagining the adventure and the battles, because of how nothing is ever realised in text or visuals. This is a hard title to recommend to general audiences, but for those who are truly hardcore RPG maniacs, Dungeon Encounters might be worth exploring.

    There is an abundance of delicious meat on these old bones. [Issue#367, p.117]

    Dungeon Encounters is a pared-back RPG focused purely on battles and exploration. By gaining knowledge and experience, the player needs to learn how to overcome traps and enemies, resulting in a satisfying experience. Although the game kind of loses momentum in the second half, it’s still well worth a look.
