### 4/5 — Too Hot

*2024-08-24, version 2.3*

Too hot on my 15pm and low screen light ,but very interesting game

### 4/5 — Would be five star

*2024-04-05, version 2.3*

If it would save the automatically save the game when you switch apps.

### 3/5 — Batterie !!!

*2022-05-10*

Le jeu est vraiment cool, marche très bien, pas de bug. Par contre ma batterie se vide très vite et mon telephone chauffe beaucoup pour un jeu aussi... minimaliste je dirai. Si vous pouviez corriger ça ce serai cool et je mettrai 5⭐️. M à j 18/02/21 : la mise à jour apporte des nouveautés, j’ai donc réinstallé le jeu, mais le problème se surchauffe du téléphone est toujours aussi présent, j’ai pour tant changé je suis passé d’un SE 2016 à un Iphone 7, rien n’y fait l’appareil chauffe beaucoup trop, toujours aussi étonnant malgré les graphismes simples de ce jeu.

**Developer response:** Le problème de surchauffe était dû au fait que le mode 120 fps était activé par défaut. La dernière mise à jour devrait corriger cela.

### 3/5 — Not QUITE Dungeon Raid

*2022-03-06, version 2.2*

This game, while fun, isn’t as smooth or as deep as the original “Dungeon Raid” game that this game is designed directly after.  It would be a 1-to-1 conversion of Dungeon Raid, but it is more of a 0.5-to-1 conversion as it is missing a lot of the features of the original game.  You don’t gain unique stat bonuses or gear for defeating bosses, your individual heroes do have some unique toggled skills, but they don’t have the unique style skills like the uppercut damage bonus or the infinite combo skill that allows you to pass through tiles of non-like types to continue comboing for whichever tile type you started out with.  There is no real rpg element to it as you don’t continue unlocking perks or abilities for each character type in-between games, the different heroes don’t really change the feel of a given game like the enemy types don’t really vary based on hero type or anything, comboing between tiles feels a bit sticky and sluggish while also being less precise, but you can work around that well enough, and the game board isn’t as big as Dungeon Raid’s was which leads to stale boards with too few creative options too often.

Yeah, it is just a less deep, less smooth Dungeon Raid where they have added a rather meaningless “level cleared” wipe after defeating a boss as opposed to dropping some unique loot and just continuing to ramp up the board as you progress.  It seems like they tried to make it “it’s own game” with those shallow tweaks and it’s a shame because a direct recreation of Dungeon Raid would have been more worth my money and a lot of people would probably have bought it for that very reason.  Still, it sort of fills the void left by the now defunct Dungeon Raid.  I just wish it were more so.

Also, the music is pretty bad and greatly detracts from enjoyment. I recommend turning that off.

### 3/5 — Hard hard

*2022-02-14*

So hard… my game is good but the difficulty is growing to heavily… can you make it lower please

### 4/5 — Good game, some skills could be stronger

*2021-12-02*

I like this game. My suggestion is to enhance some of the skills to make them more meaningful. Slash and Fiireball are too weak / random. Maybe a bigger area of effect for fireball? Cleave becomes very weak at high levels, suggest Strength x4

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2021-09-12, version 1.2*

This was mentioned before but I hope there will be a change to allow weapons/armor to keep upgrades when purchasing new gear. Replacing those buffs makes upgrade builds a lot worse (which was the first build I did when playing the game for the first time).
I like the game and am glad to have a dungeon raid clone again. Looking forward to updates.

### 4/5 — Unlocks buggy

*2021-08-04, version 1.2*

Had to reboot the game to get unlocks to work. Caused a lot of confusion

### 4/5 — some kinda of bugs

*2021-07-07, version 1.2*

hello i purchased and played recent. i found some bugs. when i playe almost 700+ in normal, and just quit with iphone swipe, and not played nearly 2hour and rejoin this game but i cant move any kind of blocks. a few turns keep playing, i got a block more than 5+ but not working. i tapped potrait its working, hit menu its working, but not play tile works.

### 5/5 — A Must Download

*2021-03-01, version 1.2*

Was really sad that Dungeon Raid never got updated. Well, now I don’t care because we have the best replacement anyone could ask for. 
Only thing is sometimes when I’ve left the app, and the phone does it’s RAM dump, it doesn’t save my progress. Otherwise, you MUST have this game on your phone. Period. It’s great.

### 4/5 — Great game loop

*2021-02-18, version 1.2*

This isn't a super challenging game, but this is a good thing sometimes. It's enjoyable to just pick up and get some light matching puzzle action in, and the upgrades/rpg elements add a nice layer of encouragement to play for longer periods. Have encountered a bug that freezes game when doing big chains of coins though.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Impossible to disable constant vibrations

*2021-03-24, version 1.2*

The haptics toggle is broken and does nothing. The developer has also made it so that every single action you or the enemy takes results in a strong vibration. So that means the entire game the phone is constantly vibrating all the time which makes the game 100% unplayable.

### 1/5 — Losing all progress

*2021-02-10*

Sorry for the 1 Star review but as it is now, the game is bugged. Every time I play it, I earn fame points. But when I exit from the app and come back, I still have 0 game and have to restart all over. Just asking for a fix, thanks <3

### 1/5 — Difficulty factor ruins fun

*2020-12-02, version 1.1*

Game is like a short treadmill to nowhere.

### 2/5 — Poor save design

*2025-08-05, version 2.3*

An otherwise good clone ruined by the inability to resume. Be warned, this game WILL unceremoniously reset all progress you’ve made if you navigate away for too long, and there is nothing you can do about it.

### 2/5 — Game fails to work

*2022-10-27, version 2.3*

When loading this on an iPhone 13 Max, the app opens successfully and seems to get into the game mode, but once there, the game refuses to acknowledge any attempts to match icons.

### 2/5 — I wish this game didn’t erase progress

*2022-03-16, version 2.2*

Why doesn’t this game auto save like most smartphone games? I get distracted by a message notification in another app, end up forgetting about the game, browse Reddit for awhile, then open the game to find out iOS kicked it out of the background. It starts up again, and if I didn’t hit level 2 before leaving the game, I have to start a new one. If I didn’t hit a new level, then I’m reverted back to the previous level. It’s super not friendly for being a smart phone game and really makes it a slog to play.

### 2/5 — No unlocks

*2021-10-24, version 1.2*

Fix the unlock issue

### 2/5 — Can’t even play the game…

*2021-08-21, version 1.2*

I absolutely adored this game, then right around the time the dev stopped updating, it got to the point where I can’t finish a boss. At all. The trail that I’ve made to hit him just freezes, and I have to force close and reopen to start the same level over again. 

This happens regardless of starting a new game, deleting and redownloading, regardless of device… It’s super freakin frustrating. It’s fantastic if it works, though.

### 2/5 — Slow and Battery Intensive

*2021-03-29, version 1.2*

My iPhone is 6+ and is running iOS 12.4.9, so the experience I had might be not same to all the newer and shiny models.

Whenever I try to make a chain that goes longer than 5 tiles, the game stutters for every tile I connect. Almost every time I make a swipe to make a long chain, it always stops registering my input in the middle and stuck on a tile far ahead from where my finger currently is. This made me extra conscious about every move I make between every tile, and it made the game really stuffy and exhausting.

The phone also gets really, really hot for playing it for 5 minutes. I tried applying the battery saver feature and disabling heptic feedback, and couldn't make it less worse.

I am one of the people who were desperately looking forward to a successor of the long-before deceased game, so I am really disappointed that I can't jump into this seemingly perfect alternative.

I had other small complains like 'title screen is dizzy', 'full board flashing on receiving an attack might be straining eyes', but I believe most of the players have no problem with these.

### 2/5 — Bug à tous les etages.

*2021-03-21*

iPhone 12 pro. 
Le jeu est buggé et plante régulièrement.
De plus les options proposent de désactiver l’es retour haptique... mais que l’option soit cliquée ou pas, ça ne change rien -____-

### 5/5 — Great Match 3 game

*2025-01-31, version 2.3*

This is a creative match 3 game that I love! It’s hard. But it’s ingenious that the developers designed it that the game keeps a collective score from all of your runs. And when you reach certain score milestones you’ll unlock new characters and features! Bravo! Please continue to update game and bring new features to it

### 5/5 — Massively underrated!

*2025-01-20, version 2.3*

Legitimately the best match 3 game in the App Store. Very addictive

### 5/5 — Please update!

*2024-08-24, version 2.3*

Awesome game, needs more though.

### 5/5 — Thank you, thank you, thank you.

*2022-10-05, version 2.3*

Me and my wife both loved the original dungeon raid. 

Just purchased and played the first round. Absolutely perfect. Nice upgrade on the graphics from the original, whilst still keeping a retro 32gb (whoever thought we’d be saying that in 2010?) style. 

Game play is exactly the same as the original. 

If you don’t know the original and are looking for a tile matching game with a new challenge, buy this game it is worth every penny 🥰🥰🥰

### 5/5 — The fun is back

*2022-08-25, version 2.3*

While Dungeon Raid was the original concept and lost to an iOS update, Dungeon Falon brings back the many hours of fun. Definitely could use a bit more in the unlockables, but this variation has enough depth to keep me going. Thank you for breathing life into the dungeon-tile game.

### 5/5 — Great update to an awesome game

*2022-02-07*

Been playing this for a while and always enjoy coming back to it. Well worth it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Remake

*2022-01-22, version 1.2*

Thanks to Touch Arcade I got to relive my childhood with this game (not really, I’m 50). Dungeon Raid was a classic in its day and I played it constantly. 

Dungeon Falan hits all the right notes and has all the tension of the previous game. I like the new skills and upgrades. Graphics are great. Sound is great. 

Can’t wait to see 2.0!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2021-11-08, version 1.2*

Just discovered this. Was a Dungeon Raid fan years ago and this one plays great. It isn’t exactly the same but close enough. I feel there is more that could be done with it and would love the devs to keep improvements coming. I would pay for things like character types and bonus power ups etc.

### 5/5 — Best puzzle RPG

*2021-07-12, version 1.2*

Dungeon Falan is a rogue-like RPG puzzler on a tiled board where you link pieces together, even being able to loop pieces, linking coins, shields and swords which are used to attack enemies and bosses which drop down from the top. You have frequent upgrades to your stats and equipment and many great bonus items with different effects. This is a challenging game and is very satisfying to play indeed. If you ever played Dungeon Raid, this game beats it hands down! The game saves after every boss beaten. If you die you have to start again. Fantastic game. Highly recommended. Buy it! :)

### 5/5 — REALLY GOOD

*2021-05-06, version 1.2*

Had to rewrite my review I didn’t know that game saves after every boss. Loving this game as it’s really easy to learn and highly addictive, nice clean graphics with great sounds. At last a decent match 3 dungeon crawler. Well worth the price tag 👍
