The main draw for me is the build-a-bear monster system, but it's very difficult to tell what's going on in creature combat, and it's often hard to see the difference whenever adjusting monster parts. A combat log of some kind would be appreciated in lieu of greater visual clarity. One example would probably be reactions. It's hard to tell at a glance how many rounds the combat has been going for, and things like damage reduction have no visual indication that they occurred... Out of word space
- Gavin Vela · v0.6.3
brilliant mix of the past two games by game coaster combining layouts of dungeon maker with art style and animation and levelling of dungeon squad, it may be limited in content as of now but I guarantee they'll load this with content in the future like they have before 10/10 game and 10/10 studio
- Leon · v0.6.3
Almost perfect, wish the game had some semblance of a story though.
- w · v0.6.3
Came from playing dungeon maker a few years back. Seeing the cute monster girls brings back a bit of nostalgia and scratches the itch I have for animated pixel art. Looking forward to seeing how this game continues to develop!
- Drakelord1659 · v0.6.3
Such a fun game. Well worth the premium price. No predatory monetisation after the initial purchase. Sprites and art direction is stunning. a brilliant strategic component makes sure the game isn't playing itself. And a lot of progression to be unlocked. Might be my favourite mobile game.
- Ridghost · v0.6.3
there's only a handful of developers whose games I play religiously, and GameCoaster is one of them. If you liked Dungeon Maker, this is a really good revamp and expansion on the same sort of gameplay loop and world, with some characteristics of Dungeon Squad as well. Well worth the small cost upfront. Looking forward to where it goes as development continues!
- Desolate Dynasty · v0.6.3
cool
- inzvy · v0.6.3
Fun auto battler, though the systems could use more depth in terms of decision-making.
- Kayshawn Williams · v0.6.3
I'm new to games from this dev and phone games in general. I mainly played on the phone in the past but I've been too busy and tired for that lately. this game is a fun if a bit confusing way to pass the time. it has nice art and is pretty laid back, and easy to pick up and put down at your own pace.
- Daniel Noonan · v0.6.3
ive Been Really Enjoying it. the designs great. gameplay is cool basing it off dice rolls.
- Carrier Shinano · v0.6.3
Very fun.
- Jinmenjiuushin Yamashita
I've really been enjoying all of Game Coaster's games ever since I started playing Dungeon Squad. These games have a very unique approach to the roguelike and idle genres. I'm not sure which game I enjoy the most. I've only just started playing this one. But this seems to be the most fine tuned so far. I'm really enjoying Dungeon Maker, though, and I've put more time into that than any other. All that being said, this is a great game and a good entry point into this devs catalog.
- E.T. Deubner · v0.6.3
High tier units take a lot of grinding to build up. After the latest patch, there is no longer a way to farm their parts in any reliable way that doesn't risk destroying the unit without getting a part that you actually need, thus wasting a unit that took a lot of time to even get. I'm now wishing I hadn't purchased all of the paid content because I'm not playing with the grind they just needlessly introduced. That's not fun & ruined the game for me. Before the update I had given 5 stars. :(
- Jeremy Russell · v0.6.3
amazing
- Chef Jeff · v0.6.3
quite good thou despite its similar to its other siblings
- AMIRSHAM BIN SHAMSUL KAMAL · v0.6.3
Gameplay loop is pretty good, art is nice though some sort of tutorial would be good
- nenad stojiljkovic · v0.6.3
incredibly fun game to use in a few min of down time. and the game support actually followed up on issues put forth. all in all great game if u like roguelike dungeon builders. with the addition of combos and all around update to post game progression it is absolutely a game to at least try it out!!!
- Brennan Taylor · v0.6.2
pleasant gameplay with great designs without having to deal with the likes of a gacha system or anything. actually really well designed game
- ArkFiya (Whippedkream) · v0.6.3
It's a great game, just like the last one that I wish lasted longer, past the eye candy it's just fun. I do want a way to combine facilities without being forced to go top to down though, it's messed me up a few times, I don't know if it is a glitch or not though. Also I do notice a lack of knockdown animations being unlockable for the codex unless it is waaayyy later, would love that to come back
- Dezmas · v0.6.2
Another amazing entry from the team great work as always
- Helcerio Septim · v0.6.2
I love it
- TerzomDavid Riram
Eh it’s ok I guess no real depth even though there’s the illusion of depth because everything overly dense but there’s not a whole lot going on it’s just pick some guys watch them hit things rinse repeat no meaningful choices or synergy
- DJ-BS · v0.6.2
Enjoyable slay the spire like game
- The Kessig Den · v0.6.2
need some tutorial otherwise good.
- Ethan Huang · v0.6.2
meh. each run takes too long and I just don't feel like there are enough things going on to make it worth my time. despite being a paid game they still lock qol behind a paywall which feels wrong
- Uncle Bobbo · v0.6.2
This dev team makes some of the best games on mobile. Absolutely loved their previous games, Dungeon Maker and Dungeon Squad. This game more closely resembles Dungeon Maker, think of it as a soft sequel to that game. Each run you do is different, essentially trying to build up your characters and dungeon to fight the hordes of enemies each level. And the characters are fun and amazingly drawn/animated as always. Love love love the art style and design these devs use. At this point in time, this game is still essentially a baby in terms of content. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot here already and it’s absolutely worth the asking price. But the previous two games have had years of support and content updates. Once this game rolls out more content as time goes on, I’m sure it will be just as good as their past games. The building blocks are already here, and I recommend anyone looking for another roguelite to support these devs!
- SirLoinSteaks · v0.6.2
it's a nice little distraction
- William Rose · v0.6.2
if i could rate it above 5 stars i would. this game is amazing and addictive! amazing work!!
- Rob · v0.6.2
Played all there games or most so far love them cant wait to see how this one turns out
- Christian Vasquez · v0.6.2
fun, quick thinking and planning game. The planning in it is my favorite thing so far. getting to train. this game has so much i cant even begin to explain it all!
- Dusty · v0.6.1
love this game to death. It can be a little long/drawn out sometimes, I get bored of just sitting through battle after battle once I've got my build going, it's still fun. I like the art a lot. I do have a specific critique. In no world can a being engaged in combat run past an ENTIRE unit of 8+ powerful enemies unhindered. I know there is magic involved, but there is also counter magic involved. it's ridiculous.
- Titan King · v0.6.1
BOOBIES!!!
- Grandpa Crispy · v0.6.1
dungeon maker with upgrade
- 25_Dawam Mulia · v0.6.1
This is one of the best game, I ever played. I am currently having a blast. I have been playing this game for hours each day. I even purchased multiple in game packages because I love this game so much. Please, give us more new monsters that we can use to fight the heroes and contents.
- Jongminsin3456 · v0.6.1
This game has been addictive! I've been enjoying the monster collecting and build making so far!
- Zachary Taylor · v0.6.1
Always loved games from GameCoaster. Wistful thinking on my part if ever they port to steam, I'd buy this again.
- Reiku Tohno (Asinine Rymme) · v0.6.1
I love the game so far and im debating spending money on it My one and only complaint is that i cant move the traps/structures, it feels like the game would be so much more fun if there was that little extra depth where you have to design the dungeon well and can move them around to mqke sure everything fits well, otherwise it just feels like there isnt that much skill expression and i have to rely on luck that i get something in the exact moment i need it
- Jeff King · v0.6.1
not bad
- Aaron Robson · v0.6.1
fun
- David Pauls · v0.6.1
Honestly? a very fun game. Offers a good challenge for those who want it and has monetized ways to skip the grind if you want (can be expensive but can save a TON of time). Runs don't have to be done all in one go, you can close the app and it'll save your progress for next time. The devs seem to also want to improve the game which is a big plus and why I've decided to spend more money on it. And of course...just look at the art. Amazing work!
- Bryan “BFG” Wheeler · v0.6.1
Good game, but the screen adjustment needs to be revamped. Edit: Not even a week, and they fixed the screen adjustment. Good stuff.
- Zion Dedal · v0.6.1
bit of a learning curve but im liking it, wish there was a wiki
- Jackson Yurch · v0.6.1
但是内容多≠游戏好玩
- lscreama · v0.6.0
I love the game, the character designs are fantastic and I love the fact that we play as the monster/Lord of the dungeon. Keep up the good work
- Elijah Williams · v0.6.1
An excellent game from a consistent hits releasing developer. While this companies' games are "gooner"ish(don't care but worth mentioning), the mechanics are always solid. This is a roguelike semi-Tower Defense game. You set traps or groups of units(who engage in direct combat and are direct hinderances to enemy movement) to whittle down enemy forces before they take out your Dark Lord(leader unit who also has deployables). Tons of replayability. 33 hours in and lots to go.
- Lance Horton · v0.6.1
need bit of brain work d&d like but really fun to play
- Jonas Lee · v0.6.1
absolutely flipping brilliant! please produce more games this fantastic
- Marcus Wood · v0.6.0
i like it
- Francis angelo v · v0.6.0
very fun game, very like their first game dungeon maker, but with better tool tips and information.
- Lina · v0.6.0
it feels same-y yet improved over dungeon maker. I think the traps having ally splash or not also helps contribute to dungeon building, and it feels like some elements were also streamlined along the way. so far so good.
- Michael Gilbert-Laframboise · v0.6.0
Potential, but pretty unbalanced and utterly lacking in information, just like the rest of GameCoaster games.
- tbf2p · v0.6.0
I love the games that GAME COASTER makes. Especially the updates that come after. My problem is that the gaming loop gets really repetitive. I catch myself falling asleep most of the time especially on the third and fourth boss fight. I also have a hard time understanding the mechanics of equipping monster parts and what the parts do in general. Also I don’t understand how increasing your main monster stats due to other creatures and traps, without having any visual changes to their status. I would also like to see more details about the hero’s and their status on screen as a UI part especially for elites and bosses.
- Roxyofrose · v0.6.0
So good, but progression feels slow to incentive paid packs which are very expensive. It feels like EA or Ubisoft antics, which is sad. Otherwise it's quite fun. If they balanced the progression and even cheapened their microtransactions, it'd be a higher rating.
- Four Eyes · v0.6.0
Just another mtx scam. The game is fun and addictive, but only to the point that it makes you want to purchase through the ludicrously huge progression tree to speed up unlocks. Playing normally feeds you a beggar's scrap of resources through hour-long runs, and even the ability to fast forward individual battles is locked behind hours and hours of repetitive gameplay - or $8. Altogether there's about $70ish to spend on unlocks. Progression is supposed to be its own fun, not a transaction.
- SkyeVeran · v0.6.0
Really good game
- Fernando Barrios · v0.6.0
Very enjoyable min-maxer/defence game. Lots of things to unlock, all of which are meaningful. A bit of monster capture, fusing, RNG pulling, and the difficulty is not trivial.
- John Miller · v0.6.0
honestly the only thing I would do is another way to save data and not just rely on Google plays cloud cause I had some issues with games that use that feature. since I have lost some stuff before but to be fair that was a while back so maybe it got better but my main reason is since if I change devices I would wanna keep my skins and data like switching over from Android to ios
- Jaeden Dean · v0.6.0
Not know how to build a set yet
- lyyice · v0.6.0
Gotten my moneys worth so far, here’s hoping for a PC release!
- Shuridood · v0.5.4
The is by far one of my all time favorite app games, it’s easily in my top three favorites. But if I could make one request, please make this playable offline as well! I’d greatly appreciate the support as I’ve also liked the game so much I even scrounged up the money to get the expansion pass.
- Brohan46 · v0.5.4
game coaster did it again!
- J M · v0.5.4
I like it
- Kow Loe · v0.5.4
more gamecoaster waifu game :) not another casual brainless mobile game for mass audience with no mechanics like most 99% of playstore shovelware slop. these actually require some thought and attention.
- Holly · v0.5.4
nice game
- maxwell pui · v0.5.4
easy to get into the swing of things, lots of room for synergies and concise builds
- Dylan Holcomb · v0.5.4
game feels polished, good gameplay loop
- Valikastraz · v0.5.4
very fun
- D W · v0.5.4
Amazing game, the character design is top tier and the gameplay is not boring
- Elite Zero · v0.5.4
amazing art, no annoying mobile "features", wish there were an "infinite" mode
- ramii ewe · v0.5.4
is good game kinda sad not having a simple tutorial and some more especific information and overall some speed up button to 2x or 3x sometimes a lone hero continue and takes so long
- MrClone985 · v0.5.4
No hand holding here. Definitely a fun game I'd recomend and shouldn't be overlooked but knowing what's going on will take you a minute.
- Michael Woodward · v0.5.4
I like it so much but I think the speed needs to have more options for faster progression
- Neil Jarryl Almuete · v0.5.4
Great game with plenty of choices to build
- Adi Wibowo · v0.5.4
great game with a quick cycle time. Great for busy folks looking for something to play on breaks
- Tyrill Thelas · v0.5.4
I've played all these Dungeon games from these devs and they are all excellent, receive updates and can be played for a lot of hours. Really helped me get through a ton of overnight shifts.
- Brendan Walsh · v0.5.4
its fun once you play through one run
- Jake Tran
Fun.
- T P · v0.5.4
good as always. make more progression
- Denys Markin · v0.5.4
this developer never misses
- zent Saga
They did it again with another glorious game. The catch is that it's Dungeon Maker, but with D&D rules mixed in. If you wanted Dungeon Maker with more challenge and Dungeon Squad graphics, this is it.
- Freedom Avila · v0.5.4
i really enjoy the mechanics, the gameplay. perhaps not the biggest fan of it being a gooner game but i digress my real beef is this. Information, or the lack thereof. There are SO many things in this game that are just not explained. the guidebook helps, but for everything it explains there’s three times as many things that have you going “What the heck does that mean? What does that do?” also for the love of god please hire a native english speaker for your tooltips please
- NocturneOfSolace · v0.5.4
Awesome!
- Anh T · v0.5.4
decent
- Matt Hall · v0.5.4
good so far! I like the art.
- pax slayer · v0.5.4
really fun! super pretty art style too! took a bit to find out what I'm even meant to do but that was part of the fun for me.
- Momo M · v0.5.4
amazing game, great sequel to dungeon maker.
- matthias brown (An onion chopping ninja) · v0.5.4
cannot login on my tablet. I can login with a google play account automatically but somehow, it doesn't work on my tablet. overall game experience is really good, and the character design is also great. I hope devs will fix the login issue. It has been happening since the release though...
- 有馬一輝 · v0.5.4
Tutorial could be much clearer. Information can be presented better. Sometimes you upgrade something but have no idea what it changed
- Zlayer Zlayer · v0.5.4
super fun and challenging just started and love the challenges it comes with
- Ben Hamaker · v0.5.4
fun
- A (Mr)
DnD vampire survivor vibes. Can’t wait for more dark lords
- NightFallHunter · v0.5.4
pretty good. you actually are the villain this time and you just make dungeons and try and stop the heroes.
- Paul Kortjohn · v0.5.4
Honest, This title is probably my favorite from Gamecoaster. It's a lot easier to follow and has a far more adjusted pace than "Dungeon maker" which it is most comparable to. The difficulty and features of the run have excellent quality and are easy to adjust. I am also surprised on two counts for the dominance mechanic, both for the addition and for it's meaningful impact. It's a meaningful limiter on your forces that isn't overbearing. I truly hope this game grows well. The monsters are cute~~
- Kara Robertson · v0.5.4
I hate to say it but.... it's Gamecoaster, They do what they're good at. i play every game they release, and every game they release is fun, with it's own thing etc etc. with this one i only noticed the recycled assets from previous games and ideas but that doesn't make the game less worthy than that it is. GameCoaster knows how to bring rogue and replayability to android. I will be buying every other game they release.
- Enabled Hero · v0.5.4
best in the series
- William Lavoie · v0.5.4
Fun and not difficult, great way to spend a few minutes or a few hours
- Ray Walsh · v0.5.4
enjoying the game. I like how I'm still working out the controls and mechanics of the game.
- Conner Entriken · v0.5.4
I'm still looking for Diablo, but it's good anyway. A single mistake could ruin your entire run or even your game progress because this game doesn't go back a few days like their others and it barely has any confirmations either (I haven't seen one but benefit of the doubt anyways).
- Carlos Khanhsila · v0.5.4
they fixed deployment quality of life change thank you
- BigDadyTurtleGaming _ · v0.5.4
I've played Dungeon Squad for years. This is fun and worth the price.
