You might have noticed lately, especially if you followed our GDC coverage last week, that pixely dungeon crawlers are so hot right now. Back in January, we told you about a new one called Quest of Dungeons, which appeared to be a very straightforward roguelike with a nice sense of humor and a great look. Well, if you’ve been looking forward to it, Quest of Dungeons ($1.99) officially launched in the App Store yesterday. Here’s the trailer.
Based on the early impressions in our forums and my own brief time with the game, Quest of Dungeons is pretty much what I expected it to be, a straightforward dungeon crawler. It’s not heavy on features or any massive changes to the roguelike formula, but it’s a ton of fun. There’s four different characters to play with, plenty of loot to find, and lots of dungeon space to explore. I also really love how quick the character movement is, as sometimes these types of games can be a bit too slow for my taste.
If you’re interested in a new dungeon crawler, for a couple of bucks Quest of Dungeons should fit that bill nicely for you.
