  • Summary: Guild of Dungeoneering is a turn-based dungeon crawler with a twist: instead of controlling the hero you're tasked with building the dungeon around him. Using cards drawn from your Guild decks you lay down rooms, monsters, traps and of course loot.

    The Guild of Dungeoneering is a fabulous game, which provides hour after hour of addictive gameplay for kids or a thirty-three year old man-child like myself.

    A tightly-conceived, devilish little game, keen to show dungeon crawling conventions the trapdoor. It takes what it needs from the best in CCGs and tactics and folds them into a structure that’s clever and consciously underivative. It’s a deck I intend to keep playing with.

    Guild of Dungeoneering can get frustrating due to all of the randomness, but even then there's just no getting around the fact that it is a wonderful game. And if it ever does come to handhelds, I'll be eager to give it another go.

    It's an interesting game for RPG and trading card game fans. The gameplay isn't deep enough to be considered compelling, but it still delivers some interesting and original ideas.

    We always use cards for beating our opponents, but it's changing now. You can use cards for build dungeons and other staffs. Build and fight (with cards), it's sounds different right?

    A cutesy card-based dungeon crawler that runs out of new ideas before too long, but one worth checking out, nonetheless.

    These new heroes are a joy to discover, but the game doesn’t give you any incentive to explore them. Without a new game plus mode or even difficulty options, Guild of Dungeoneering feels very once-and-done. This is a terrible way for a rogue-like to feel. Just as the lack of documentation and tuning is a terrible thing to do to such a clever, addicting, and charmingly presented concept like this. If there’s one thing worse than not telling me how to play your game, it’s revealing to me I no longer need to play it once I’ve figured it out. Sadly, that’s the case with Guild of Dungeoneering.

It's original because you create the dungeon tile by tile, you put the monsters and loot on the tiles and your dugeoneer moves automatically lured by gold or monsters.
    Before buying it, I recommend to you to see some video. If you like the video you´ll like the game.
    It has a different approaching: your dungeoneers only level up during each dungeon. If the dungeoneer succeeds in the mission he return to level 0. If your minion dies, another minion of the same class replaces it. You obtain different classes buying rooms in your guild.
    The strong points of this adventure are the interesting card-based combat, the different strategies you can do depending the characteristics of the boss and the class of your dungeoneer. The different bosses and their card decks.
    At the final stages it's a bit repetitive and the lenght is short, but I have had a lot of fun in some combats.    … Expand

    A lot of the times I place some blocks that have no effect on the level, which damages the strategy aspect of the game.

    Character level resets with each dungeon run, which makes progressing for unlocks a grind.

    Not exactly a bad game, but could have used a little more thought.
    All considered, not worth the 15€ price tag. But for 50% or more off, it's worth a go.    … Expand

I couldn't bring myself to play passed the first dungeon. The major thing that got me down was that the character level resets after every dungeon. Not my thing unless the gameplay was just so fantastic to make up for lack of true progression in anything other than the storyline, but the gameplay is slow and boring. Really the only gameplay here is picking a card to place on the map and then clicking an ability card. There's really not much thinking or strategy involved. The game also plays very slow because of the animations that happen with every card shuffle for every turn. I feel like I could play the game 4 times faster than it lets me play and it's aggravating.
    i guess if you really love roguelikes, go for it.    … Expand

Nice for a fast, stress free diversion from more serious games. With the latest 1.05 patch, mechanics were introduced which totally destroyed the flavor of the game. With permanent negative effects, and inability to play your class without delays, the game is now an exercise in frustration. Might as well play Darkest Dungeon if that is the sort of mechanics that are desired, DD is a much better game at doing that sort of thing.… Expand
