The Hungry Gamer's Dungeons of Doria Mini Review

[@xSean0607]

One of my favourite dungeon crawlers, I can't wait to see what else is new in the next expansion!

[@MrDudikowski]

same here

[@HungryGamerReviews]

I haven't gotten to see the expansion, other than some of the new characters!

[@gamingfishchu2d2]

Great points made throughout! The fact that the loot defines the makeup of the character each game, and then they are essentially re-made each dungeon is too me a fresh new mechanic. Mind blowing a bit at first, but I really appreciate it.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Wander does the same thing with character creation as well sort of. You are mostly your loot, but this one has perma-upgrades, that one has game based upgrades

[@arikwolf3777]

I got this because of your first video of this game. Currently, my cat is sleeping on the box. 😛 BTW, _roguelike dungeon crawl_ does mean procedural generation of the dungeon, enemies and loot. Also features exploration, combat and looting.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Hungry tested cat approved. So I DID know what it meant! 😂

[@arikwolf3777]

@@HungryGamerReviews Yes, you did. Another fact: they're called _roguelike_ because of the 70's computer game "Rogue". (I didn't know that until I looked up the definition of _roguelike,_ even though I played "Rogue". Hey, it was 45 years ago.)

Strong review as expected from Hungrygamer. Have you seen the new dungeon tiles? They look amazing. We found that playing with 4 players evens out the randomness.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

I have only seen them on the GF page! How long does a 4 player game take?

[@DadsGamingDK]

@@HungryGamerReviews The fastest was around 2,5 hours. But that was after getting used to the flow and the rules.

[@user-fr1ys2wn4t]

You're 100% spot on! Using D10's is a recipe for disaster, the loot feels like garbage cycling, immunity systems are always dull, and the classes are not really classes. Overall the game felt like a chore to play.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Thanks for your thoughts! I can't recall cause my first preview was years ago now but one of the first people I played w bounced off it just as hard as you!

[@user-fr1ys2wn4t]

@@HungryGamerReviews Its a shame really. The developer had some great ideas, but it feels like it lacks playtesting.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

@@user-fr1ys2wn4t well, I don't know that I would say it lacks playtesting. There is a ton of stuff in there that was clearly dialed in. I think he just likes the swing. Nothing about it seems haphazard, and believe me when I say I have played unplaytested stuff many a time!

[@user-fr1ys2wn4t]

​@@HungryGamerReviewsThere's swingy and there's plain silly. 40 minutes of hitting nothing does not seem like a game that went through a lot of testing imho 😅

Would really like to see more of the game and less of your mug

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Would really like to get more of a useful comment and less of your snark. But here we are. Go watch the playthrough video then.
