Crafting Roguelike ‘Alchemic Dungeons’ Gets A New Character In Its Upcoming Update

TouchArcade Rating:

Fans of Mystery Dungeon and similar Japanese-style roguelikes last summer got a treat when Q-Cumber Factory released Alchemic Dungeons ($2.99), a follow-up to their earlier title, Rogue Ninja ($2.99). It offered a twist on the usual formula by allowing you to collect materials and craft items, weapons, and other gear on the fly. Once you got the various recipes down, you could easily craft the things you needed for whatever situation was at hand, lending the game a somewhat gentler curve than comparable titles. Another cool improvement the game made over its predecessor was in allowing you to choose from three different characters, each of whom had a style all their own.

Q-Cumber Factory has been pretty busy since the release of Alchemic Dungeons, most notably with porting one of their other iOS titles, the non-linear action game Ninja Smasher ($3.99), to the Nintendo 3DS. Heads-up to 3DS-owning readers, that game will be making its way to the North American eShop within a month or so. With that job done, Q-Cumber turned their sights back to Alchemic Dungeons, putting together a pretty nifty update that will be released on June 2nd. The update includes a new character, the Witch, who obviously specializes in magical attacks and looking cute as a button. In addition, there’s a new character stat, intelligence, which determines the effectiveness of your crafting.

To coincide with this update, Alchemic Dungeons will be getting a free Lite version, also releasing on June 2nd. The Lite version only includes two of the four characters, the Fighter and the Witch. Rather than give you the dungeons from the paid version in some kind of limited form, the Lite version will have an exclusive special dungeon. So even if you already bought and played Alchemic Dungeons, you might want to check out that Lite version when it comes out. Kudos to the developer for going that route instead of changing the paid game to free-to-play. Be sure to give all of this new content a look when it hits this Thursday.
