    Quest of Dungeons came out on 3ds using the lower screen for map, spells, and buying/selling. The ui was superb and anno December 2020 it has finally dropped to $1 on 3ds. At the same time it has dropped to $1 on Switch. I bought both.

    At its heart it’s a poor man’s clone of umoria but with no collective monster memory, no prolific lichen, no over world shop, no hidden doors, no cursed items, no monsters bashing through doors, no wands rods tunneling no food or light issues. Class system is fixed fighter that only has melee action, wizard that needs to manage his mana, archer that uses unlimited arrows. It is very streamlined and so simple to do it’s a kind of Zen. It’s the best rogue like for handhelds, far worse than the original but what can you do.

    Gameplay is very streamlined. You walk over ga    … Expand

    As simple as it gets, probably any other game does it better then whatever quest of dungeons does, and for 10 dollars it's a rip off since you can get it for 5 dollars on steam.

    This game is a good budget dungeon crawler. I would recommend, but buy it on sale..

    Quest of Dungeons isn't for everybody, but if you are a fan of tabletop RPGs like Hero Quest then you may want to give this game a chance. There are several different classes to play as so if you are more into tanking than ranged, or magic than healing, etc. this game has you covered.

It is turn based as if you are playing a tabletop game, and the game pauses at the start of the player's next move giving a chance to analyze the map and inventory to plan the next move. The price for this game is fair due to the unlimited replay-ability and when the game goes on sale it is a steal.… Expand

    It's a simple traditional rogue-like dungeon crawler. I have loved my time with this game. It's simple and fun, though the higher difficulties are almost prohibitively hard. The music loops get pretty annoying after a while. But I would recommend this game, especially if you can get it on sale. It's a great game for the switch! Sort of like baby's first traditional rogue-like.

    Quest of Dungeons is one of the most enjoyable roguelikes to hit the Switch. It is an easy to play dungeon crawler with an addictive turn-based gameplay that makes you want to go for one more run.

    A fine addition to the Nintendo Switch library, delivering an entertaining gaming experience that suits the portable mode of the console. However, its formula feels a little bit dated by now and lacks the variety and the personality to keep the player engaged in the long run.

    If you had to pick one platform for Quest of Dungeons, the Switch would probably be it. It highlights the qualities of the Switch concept even if the upgrades in the game are relatively subtle. The system - with the choice of TV or portable play - is therefore a perfect match with the solid turn-based combat and procedurally generated dungeons. As a returning player, besides playing the title on a fancy new device the minor improvements and new content are hard to appreciate, at least when considering the need to double-dip. This version is certainly worth a go if you haven't played it before, however, as this is still an enjoyable game to play.
