A Bite Size Diablo / Gauntlet like that Feels Great! – Smash Dungeon –
23Smash Dungeon is an Indie, Hack and Slash, Action RPG Roguelite that feels like a fusion of a bite sized Diablo or Gauntlet!
Smash Dungeon has a focus on fun power-ups, which you can drop to take the dps to the next lvl, when your collected gear is not enough.
The Star of Smash Dungeon Is The Combat!
There is no bump damage here; good!
The monsters of Smash Dungeon must actually make an attack animation to hurt you; good, as it should be!
Also, the big, beefy hero you are, you physically displace monsters when you walk into them, so push those nasty monsters around and show em who’s da boss!
Your melee attack chain changes depending on your equipped weapon, but you can animation cancel out of your main attack chain and dodge out of it; very good to know!
Remember: this does NOT seem to work on your special attack; so be careful when you use it.
You also have a dash on a 2 second cooldown, by default, which is very handy.
Weapons better than the torch also have Special attacks; these special attacks are cooldown based, and are very potent when used at the right time.
Beyond your sick, monster stomping moves, you also can find powerful items to use.
These are very potent pick-ups for you to grab, 1 use, but so worth it!
Think lightning bolts blasting down from the sky, dropping blasting turrets, big dps boosts, things like that can easily turn the fight your way.
Enemies drop these items often; but you can only hold 2 by default.
You also have a dedicated bomb button; fun.
Random Dungeons and Gold!
Coins are auto picked up here; good.
The dungeons in Smash Dungeon are made with Procedural Generation, so expect random dungeons, full of monsters, gold, items, shops, healing fountains, and traps!
Spike traps are present, as are flame traps; and they hurt enemies too; nice!
Watch out for the lava Hero!
There are monster totems to smash too, that continually spawn more monsters; take em out!
Meta Progression:
As a Roguelite, Smash Dungeon has significant Meta Progression, in the form of gained character lvls and gems.
When you die, you keep your gems and lvls; the gems are used to unlock meta progression passives for your character that make you stronger and stronger, more able to dig deeper into the dungeon of the smash; fun.
Controller Support is present, and good, while good old mouse and keyboard is also an option if you wish.
I went with a gamepad in the above video, as I found it felt much better here.
Local Co-op is present as well, in case that is something that interests you.
Smash Dungeon is a fast and fun Action Roguelite that feels like a fusion of a bite sized Diablo or Gauntlet, and is easily worth a wishlist and a watch.
