Dungeons Of Dredmor

The Game: A very well done Roguelike by the men over at Gaslamp Games Inc. a very tounge and cheek style game nothing being taken seriously at all. (With the exception of astrology which is taken so seriously it is no longer serious.)
Story:5

The evil lord Dredmor has reawakened and will soon take over the ENTIRE WORLD muawhahaha. A hero needs to save the land and unfortunatly that hero is you. You are thrown into the dungeon and the door is locked behind you you can’t leave until you kill Dredmor or die trying.

Gameplay: 9

It’s brutal it will kill you, permadeath is the only true way to play. You start the game and choose up to 7 skills from a nice long list in front of you anything from swords, maces, and shields, to flesh magic NecroEconomics the economy of the undead, and with the dlc Communism where you use the powers of the motherland to form glorious union with your enemies and weapon. The game is procedurally generated and it creates some massive floors for you to slowly make your way through. And I mean slowly trying to rush through will result in a quick and painful death at the hands of enemies like Supa-Deth, or a carrot monster. You have health and mana to regain health you need to devour some mad food like an omelette made out of 4 eggs put into a compressor don’t think too hard on that one. Oh what’s that you ran out of mana serving queen and country as a over powered Steamknight warlock, well then get ready because “Your mana is low drink more booze” so get quaffing.

The Look: 7

It’s stylized and very cartoony but it looks look animation quality is minimal but it’s enough considering the OG roguelike looked like this.

Yeah we’ll take what we can get

The Universe: 6

It’s crazy it’s consistant but there is so little of it. We have the lutefisk god inconsequentia some form of dark lord or three strolling about and the grand Archmages looking for more booze.
Soundtrack: 5

It’s alright but I tend to mute it and listen to something else.
Overall: 8

A nice fun solid roguelike that you can lose days too just trying to move one more floor. I have

thrown hours of my life at this game trying to beat it on Going Rouge permadeath and I have failed. Highly recommend this game andl all of its dlc to anyone even semi interested in the Roguelike or Roguelite genre.
