Gameplay

84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed how some of the later levels can get quite challenging, although the game sadly peaks in a side-branch of the non-linear level progression.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also has a story which is quite interesting to follow as you get rid of all those pesky archaeologists snooping around in your lair.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's a big difficulty spike on level 14, but I promise that the solution is very pleasing to figure out and the game really starts to open up with new mechanics shortly after!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With 59 levels to beat and around 30 story-telling documents to unlock, a great replayability as numerous can be beaten several ways, good old-school graphics and a competitive price (and it must be specified that this is the first game of its creator, villainousgames), The Dweller is definitely worth buying.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's music and sound effects adds to the dark, predatorial atmosphere that the game portrays.

Nice Linux port, everything worked as expected. game is very lightweight (I barely noticed any resource consumption in CPU/RAM).
