Guild of dungeoneering combine cards11/30/2022 ![]() I had a conversation with the Gambrinous dev team, frustrated about the games jump in difficulty, only to look like a complete idiot after they hinted at how I could be successful. I will admit this Guild of Dungeoneering review could have been much, much different had I written it during my travels through the second dungeon vs the first real “boss” and pre the latest patch. My favorites happen to be around the second tier with the Barbarian with a deathwish and the quick and nimble Ranger, if you want to start with a bruiser early, go with the…Bruiser, he’s spiky. Recruiting different classes to help you along your travels. Guild of Dungeoneering could of course not have the word “Guild” in the title without actually having a Guild, well I guess it could but it would make utterly no sense, so in it not only do you build dungeons as you crawl along, you also earn gold and expand your Guild. This aspect becomes increasingly important as you explore more difficult dungeons that require you to be in a certain room after so many turns, so bribe your dungeoneer wisely. That’s right, like the luck of a dice roll, you’re hoping your dungeoneer will go where you’re hoping he’ll go. As you paved your dungeon path you also put down gold and enemies along the way to help coerce your dungeoneer to head a certain direction, because well, you really have no control of him. The creative aspect, the part of the game that had me raving about it to everyone I talked to at PAX South was Guild of Dungeoneering‘s actually dungeon crawling system. That’s the basics of what Guild of Dungeoneering is if you wanted to try and define it into a “genre”, when you dive deeper into what Gambrinous has done, you’ll see something unique and highly addictive. In that genre there’s also a card combat element, really meta I know, combining both into a card combat/dungeon crawler-esque RPG. Guild of Dungeoneering is a creative take on the Dungeons & Dragons RPG type genre, except you become somewhat of the crawler and the Dungeon Master. ![]() For those of you who don’t want to read my previous post out of spite or laziness, here’s the gist about Guild of Dungeoneering. I know right, a real humanitarian I am.Īnyways, you came to read about a Guild of Dungeoneering review, not hear my humblebrag about how I support indies. Gambrinous were gracious enough to send me a review key, but I liked the game so much and wanted to see it succeed that I dropped the $15 in support. I couldn’t wait for this unique indie, RPG, dungeon crawler archetype to hit Steam. I had the privilege of seeing Guild of Dungeoneering earlier this year at PAX South and remembering instantly falling in love with it, if you need proof you can read my Guild of Dungeoneering Market Fresh Indies preview. ![]()
