   Dungeons of Dredmor is part tribute to, and part parody of old school roguelike games. At it's core, the game is full of addicting monster hacking, spell casting, loot hoarding goodness. The graphics are cheesy, and the story is pretty much non-existent, but I'm finding myself not caring because the game is just so much fun. I'm really enjoying the humor in the game as well. On the negative side, the inventory management can be a bit clunky at times, and the game occasionally crashes, which stinks if you don't have a recent save to fall back on. Also, this game isn't for everybody. Be prepared to die a lot. If you can't deal with that, you may want to toggle off permadeath, or even skip this game completely. Hardcore roguelike fans might find this game too watered down for their tastes. Despite its flaws, DoD is a great value for your gaming dollar.… Expand

   When I started this game, I got about three or four rooms in, then I died. I restarted, got a few more rooms in, and I was killed again. I repeated this more times than I care to count, but you know what, I kept coming back. It is an immensely satisfying roguelike, with an easier mode( not that I can call any of Dredmore truly easy) for those of us who are not masochists. For 4.99 on steam, it's a must have. and a word of advice for anyone starting the game, use at least a few warrior skills, they really come in handy.… Expand

   Good points - Good game for what it does, varied attack options, lots of levels, lots of skills to enjoy. Details is good but not amazing - not in the Nethack league for example
   
   Bad points - slightly repetitive, not funny at all (in my opinion anyway - how anyone finds this amusing is beyond me!), lack of documentation on different classes is somewhat annoying (to start with at least), updates breaking the save system isn't that funny either, several crashes that has lost me my character.… Expand

   This game is somewhat entertaining but downright repetitive and poorly coded. Don't spend your hard earned on money on a game from developer who doesn't value their customer's time. This game is horribly buggy. You will lose your first character from a bug more likely than an actual death. You might try a second time on the default "permadeath" mode until you encounter yet more bugs and vanishing saves, rendering your 10, 20+ hours invested a total waste. At this point you might turn off permadeath so you can reload but then Gaslamp will release an *update* (1.02 to 1.03) that invalidates your saves and forces you throw yet another 10-20+ hour investment down the drain because they were too lazy to write an old save to new save conversion routine. Then they give you an achievement to joke about wasting your time. From their blog post about the 1.03 update: "Your old save games from Dredmor 1.02 almost certainly do not work with Dredmor 1.03. We apologize for the inconvenience. Iâ… Expand
