    It's an okay game I guess. Plays well enough, the dungeons start to feel pretty tedious after while. A little too easy and I found myself making an effort to handicap myself with lower leveled gear. There's a built in gear optimization option prior to starting a quest that makes the game insultingly easy. A borderline non existent story.

Lots of adult humor for sure. The animation seems pretty fluid. The combat feels kinda clunky for a hack n slash isometric RPG. Not really sure what I was expecting, (huge Diablo fan, and this looked pretty similar) but this game's just not for me. A little too "Adventure Time" for my tastes. Okay game, would probably recommend waiting for a sale. Solid 5/10 from me.… Expand

    The game is not bad but ... it was not what I expected. I expected something more like Fantasy Life but simpler. I bought it thinking that being Level 5 the developer could still be fun but I was wrong.

    They have translated and dubbed it into many languages, it has extra content, many hours of gameplay, graphically beautiful ... but it can't keep me playing for a long time.

    I notice that they have put in a lot of effort and love but sometimes that is not enough. But as I said at the beginning it is not a bad game, is normal.

    El juego no está mal pero... no es lo que esperaba. Esperaba algo más como Fantasy Life pero más simple. Me lo compré pensando que al ser Level 5 la desarrolladora podría ser divertido pero aun así me equivocaba.

    Lo han traducido y doblado a muchos idiomas, tiene contenido extra, muchas horas de juego, graficamente es bonito... pero no consigue mantenerme jugando durante mucho tiempo.

    Noto que han puesto mucho esfuerzo y cariño pero a veces eso no es suficiente. Pero como dige al principio no es un mal juego, normalito.    … Expand

    Juego sencillo y muy repetitivo con toques de humor pero sin profundidad en la historia.

    ----

    Simple and very repetitive game with touches of humor but without depth in the story.

    There’s a lot to digest when it comes to Snack World, and like red bean paste, you either love it or can’t stomach it. If the idea of a glorified casino with a simple battle system and insane level spikes makes your mouth water, Snack World is a dungeon crawler worth delving into. There is in fact a significant amount of content with side quests, crafting, and collecting that gives prospective explorers plenty to take part in. But the gameplay still turns up incredibly repetitive, and the smorgasbord of comedy styles makes it even more tedious getting from one dungeon to the next.

    Overall, there really is nothing fundamentally wrong here, but with its reliance on deriving humour from treating RPG standards as dated and ripe for mockery, Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold pretty much shoots itself in the foot. Leaning into these tropes, and really investing the time into a combat system that is as much of a treat as the rest of the game could have really elevated this above a saturated market. Collecting 'Snacks' and using them as party members is fun, and a worthwhile curiosity, plus visually it has charming designs, reminiscent of Final Fantasy: My Life as a King, which both enthrals and delights. Sadly, though, without a sturdy and, more importantly, fun battle system driving this forward, this may leave a sour taste for those expecting something of the calibre of Level-5's past RPG efforts.

    It's just a shame that half of the crawl is getting past the game's process – and ego. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 68]
