Retro radness!
Great old school platformer! Just finished this as the Rogue (Best character, in my opinion. That double jump lets you fly through levels) and was entertained from start to finish. Just as good and even better in many ways, than the first Devious Dungeon game. Ravenous Games always delivers!
The addition of different character classes is a fantastic upgrade. The only minor complaint I have about that is that there is a big missed opportunity for re-play value. I wish gold or some kind of bonus carried over from a completed character class. If there was some insensitive to replay, Id be doing that now. But after finishing the game with one character, its a bit of a bummer starting completely over from scratch with a new one. I was hoping Id be rewarded for finishing the game, but no such luck. Ive got TONS of gold with my maxed out character that is of absolutely no use now.
The levels, enemies and bosses are all great. And the game does a great job of smoothly and consistently upping the difficulty level as you go. But while this is a sequel, you will recognize many of the same enemies from the first game. Not a big gripe. I understand how much more work it would be to make all new enemies. But it does give this the feel of an update or expansion to the first game rather than a true sequel.
Ive seen people complaining about controls but I had zero problems. Controls are perfect. Of course youre going to make some mistakes due to the very nature of the virtual buttons, but there is no getting around that. I did play this on an ipad though, so maybe the complaints are coming from iphone users?
Overall, a really fun, addicting and well made retro platformer. Well worth the 99 cents. If youre a fan of past Ravenous games, youre going to love this one too.
