Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dungeon Drafters is an overall innovative roguelite deckbuilder that excels at getting you to experiment with its mechanics through both great card design and underlying resource mechanics, but can at times feel overly punishing through a variety of design aspects.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is great - a huge number of spells with lots of different effects.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lore/story/hub is cozy, but very light-hearted and simplistic, still there are some quests/characters, even branching paths!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-The difficulty I found was fairly consistently engaging across the multiple builds I used. some will definitely perform better than others in the right area but it's nothing that I felt invalidated specific builds completely outside of instances of ailment immunity.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Love the art style, card play is crisp, and there is a lot of content for the price.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Likewise, the soundtrack is solid overall, and while I didn’t find combat effects particularly amazing, such as the feedback of projectiles hitting opponents feeling a little lacking, the music more than makes up for it with a few tracks that stand out above the rest.
