Dungeons of Blood and Dream drew me in with it's ring mechanic and... extravagant look.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a superb dungeon crawler, and it was an amazing experience, the cryptic secrets, the dozens and dozens of items and weapons, most of them useful.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The textures and simplicity remind somehow of liminal horror, but on acid.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lastly, this is a thing that irked me in another retro dungeon crawler: The lore is amazing, from what the descriptions of the items, this is an unique very alien and complex world, with its own beings, history and characters, but the game happens in a very small, faraway place.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere, music, sound design, and art design are amazing, top notch even.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After you get over the initial difficulty bump this game is an absolute banger.
