Fights against enemies are entirely stat based, so it’s best to obtain some better equipment before taking on the tougher baddies. You can’t constantly just lay treasure cards though, thanks to a points system that means you have to defeat enemies before you can lay the loot cards. The loot can be treasure, equipment or weapons that will aid your progress. Instead you lay out the dungeon one room at a time, placing treasure and monsters to trying to carefully guide your dungeoneer to victory.Įach turn you’re given a choice of 5 cards to lay or discard, allowing you to lay map tiles, enemies or loot. Personally, I am a graphics snob and like everything to look super detailed and textured, but outside of a "High Quality Graphics" option, which I couldn't discern any noticeable difference, and resolution settings, Guild of Dungeoneering is right at home with its style and sound.Guild of Dungeoneering is a papercraft dungeon exploration game where you don’t get to control your adventurer directly. With a game this simple in its execution, there are not many options to tweak, which works. Fortunately, you can turn the Bard's volume down or off if it starts getting too annoying. As amusing as the bard is, which is very, after an hour of playing, you will have heard certain songs numerous times, especially if you have many deaths. Which brings us to the Bard who sings to you throughout the game and at every death. Despite the sometimes rough deaths, the music always lifts you up and almost, almost, makes you forget that you failed to do your job. The clean, crisp strokes of a bard's lute fit perfectly with the events that unfold in front of you. Probably the best and most annoying aspect is the game's sound. ![]() Where most games today are heavy in violence and gore, being greeted with ripped pieces of paper brings a certain charm to the genre. Predominantly monochrome, the splashes of color definitely make the game pop.Whether it's the red hearts or the yellow coins, everything is presented in a crisp and clean manner, despite the almost childish art (in a good way). ![]() Clicking on your hero or as you head into a fight, a speech bubble will appear with a witty pun based on your class, along with a growl. The hand-drawn style feels old school and brings back memories of a simpler time, friends or family sitting around a table playing a board game. Guild of Dungeoneering is brutal gameplay wise, but I would describe it as "cute" graphics wise. So if you like the gameplay but want a more competitive scene, Trophy Trials is definitely to place for you. The 2nd place Guild Master Igor.Malashkin has 106. As of this writing, the leaderboard is dominated by 'Inkie' with 184 trophies. Each class can gain a maximum of twenty trophies for a theoretical high score of 240 trophies. Despite my best efforts, I could never get more than one trophy in any class, but then again, I am not a very good Guild Master compared to the pros. If you are defeated, you lose all progress and trophies and have to start over. After defeating a boss, you are given a trophy and asked if you would like to continue, which gives all future bosses a permanent one heart increase, or to walk away with the trophies you have earned. The whole point is to defeat as many boss levels consecutively as possible without dying. You are given the choice of tiers to choose from, one thru three, with each tier having four of the classes tied to its rating. Trophy TrialsĮntering Beta in May, the Trophy Trials were a way for the elite players to flex their muscles and show the world how good they were with each class, and competing on the leaderboards. starting a new game is a tough call and one that I have had to make too many times. Whether or not you are willing to use an absurd amount of Chumps as cannon fodder vs. The good news is that with enough deaths, you can afford any upgrade you might want. Pick a Wizard and you won't have the defenses to keep a melee attacker at bay. Take a Barbarian in addition to your Chump, you will have a hard time dealing with magical attacks. As a first time player, this could get a little frustrating as you progress through Adventures due to some monsters using attacks and defenses that you just can't deal with. Gain enough gold, which might take several runs, and you can expand your guild hall to include a great number of additional classes, bonuses, or stronger equipment.
