### 4/5 — New Update Crashes

*2026-07-07*

I tried the game out about 5 days ago and am really loving it. I’ve already unlocked a few more classes. 
However I just downloaded the new update and now the game crashes when it gets to the Home Screen. I am not able to play now. Can you guys look into this right away please?

**Developer response:** We are really sorry for the inconvenience.

The crash issue that occurred in iOS version 2.6.15 has been fixed in version 2.6.16.
Please update to the latest version from the App Store and try again.

If the problem still continues after updating to 2.6.16, please contact us through Discord.
We will check it as quickly as possible and help you.

### 4/5 — 재미가 있는거 같은데..

*2026-07-03*

나는 사실 잘 모르겠음
취향이 아닌가…?
잘 모르겠는데 멍하게 계속하는 느낌?

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다.

처음에는 조금 낯설게 느껴질 수 있지만, 계속 플레이하시면서 재미를 느끼실 수 있도록 부족한 부분은 꾸준히 개선해 나가겠습니다.

디스코드 채널에도 편하게 오셔서 다양한 의견 남겨주시면 큰 도움이 될 것 같습니다. 🙏

감사합니다!

### 4/5 — Been looking for a Dungeon Raidlike …

*2026-07-02*

… and found it! Greatly appreciated and enjoying it thus far. Minor complaint: slight delay in looking at skill details in game. The “hold to touch” works, but seems to take longer than I would expect for the text description to show.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review!

I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying Dungeon Tracer. I’ll check the delay when displaying skill details and work on making them appear faster.

Thank you for your valuable feedback!

### 5/5 — Огонь

*2026-04-12*

Старая шикарная игра

**Developer response:** Спасибо за отзыв. Очень рады, что вам нравится игра. Мы продолжим делать её ещё лучше.

### 5/5 — 업데이트하고 게임속도

*2026-01-18*

느려서 못 하겠어요
그리고 워리어 12레벨 확장하고 전용 스킬 추가 됐다는데 맞아요? 아무리 찾아봐도 바뀐게 없는데

**Developer response:** 2.4.1버전으로 업데이트 하시면 2배속을 다시 지원 합니다.

게임 속도는 2배속 테스트를 좀더 해보고 디스코드 공지를 통해 알려드릴게요.
워리어는 12레벨 달성후 새게임-편집-스킬 탭을 선택해보시면 하단에 2개의 스킬이 추가 되었는지 확인 해주세요. 문제가 있다면 디스코드 채널에 오셔서 문의 부탁 드립니다

### 5/5 — 커스텀 하는 방법

*2026-01-08*

스킬과 포션 커스텀 하는 방법 좀 알려주세요 클릭해도 안되고. 오래 눌러도 안되고. 심플함이 좋지만, 알아내기 힘들어요 😂

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다 디스코드 채널에 오셔서 질문 주시면 친절히 답변 드리겠습니다

### 5/5 — Dungeon Raid is back!

*2025-12-11*

During high school in the mid 2010s my favourite mobile game was Dungeon Raid. Unfortunately at some point the devs stopped updating the game for nee devices and Dungeon Raid was lost to us. This game is basically Dungeon Raid remade from the ground up, and while I did prefer the original’s cartoony graphics this is as faithful of a remake as you can get. Same price as the original too, despite it being 10 years later. Here’s to hoping this one isn’t abandoned too in the future.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your memories of the original. It truly means a lot that a longtime fan is enjoying this remake. I understand concerns about long-term support, and I’m committed to maintaining the game and keeping it compatible with modern devices. Thank you for your support.

### 4/5 — Full screen

*2025-12-09*

Is there a technical reason the game isn’t full screen?  There’s a blank area about the size of where ads would be displayed.

**Developer response:** There isn’t any particular technical reason. I just don’t have a suitable image to fill the bottom area based on the current screen layout.

### 5/5 — 스킨관련 문의

*2025-12-06*

게임은 옛 향수가 생각나서 좋은데
게임 스킨도 예전 모습으로도 해주셨으면 좋겠습니다.

**Developer response:** 좋은 의견 감사합니다. 예전 감성을 떠올릴 수 있는 스킨에 대해 내부적으로 논의해보겠습니다. 다만 과거 리소스를 그대로 사용하는 것은 저작권 및 정책 문제로 어려워, 새로운 형태로 재해석하는 방향으로 검토하겠습니다. 의견 정말 감사드립니다.

### 5/5 — Apparenza ruvida ma con sostanza

*2025-12-03, version 2.1.9*

Per chi cerca un Dungeon Raid migliorato qui c’è soddisfazione. Rispetto all’originale qui ci sono maggiori possibilità di personalizzazione e progressione. Caldamente consigliato quindi.

### 4/5 — Very excited to have this but….

*2025-11-29*

So obviously it’s fantastic to have this game in my collection again…the app that inspired it was maybe my first iPhone purchase back in the day and I love how this game works. However, after one play through I unlocked a new class. Playing that class, I got to like level 23 with tons of unlocks reported. When I went to check them out, tho, I found exactly zero unlocked. No new classes, traits, skills. I’m assuming this is a a bug, especially since unlocks have apparently been an issue in the recent past? If that bug is squashed, tho, this is easily a 5-star game….

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your valuable review.
Please note that new classes can only be unlocked when playing as the Adventurer.
If you experience any other issues, feel free to join our Discord channel and report the bug. We’ll be happy to help.

### 5/5 — 용어 설명이 부족해요

*2025-11-07*

업그레이드 증가, 방어구 수리가 무슨 효과인지 아무리 해도 모르겠어요

**Developer response:** 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다 
업그레이드증가: 수리할방어구가없을때 채워지는 업그레이드게이지의양, 방어구수리: 파괴된방어구가채워지는양 입니다. 더 궁금하신게있다면 디스코드 채널에서 질문 해주세요.

### 5/5 — Worthy successor to the great Dungeon Raid!

*2025-08-31*

An exceptionally carefully put together homage to Dungeon Raid, a great game no longer available and easily a very fine and worthy successor without question. Buy it immediately if this kind of game appeals to you. Worthy!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We hope those memories from 10 years ago come back as joyful ones once again.

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel

*2025-08-10*

Weniger schön und wahrlich nicht zeitgemäß sind die schwarzen Balken oben und unten. Wenn man im Spiel auf „Geschichte“ klickt, erscheint {"error":"요청한 리소스를 찾을 수 없습니다.","code":"NOT_FOUND"}.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung.
Wir haben die schwarzen Balken oben und unten sowie den Fehler im „Geschichte“-Menü festgestellt.
Der Fehler im „Geschichte“-Menü wird in einem kommenden Update behoben.
Die schwarzen Balken sind aufgrund aktueller Ressourcenbeschränkungen momentan leider nicht zu entfernen, wir planen jedoch, dieses Problem in Zukunft zu lösen.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Geduld.

### 5/5 — A Worthy Successor

*2025-05-27*

I had a sudden memory of Dungeon Raid, which led me to finding this little gem. It perfectly captures the same spirit but with much prettier graphics and much more content.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! Dungeon Raid was a true classic, and we’re honored to hear that Dungeon Tracer brought back those memories for you. We’re working hard to keep expanding the world with even more content, so we hope you’ll continue enjoying the journey. Your support means a lot to us!

### 5/5 — Where has this game been my whole life?

*2025-03-09*

There’s no secret here - Dungeon Tracer is trying to fill the hole that was left by Dungeon Raid being delisted back when iOS dropped support for 32-bit applications.

Let me be super clear. It fills it PERFECTLY. Everything you loved about Dungeon Raid is here - the depth of classes and races, the abilities on offer, special enemy mechanics, unlocks, and so on. The audio in particular is so spot on that I finally feel like I have my favourite game back again.

If I had one suggestion, it would be to allow the player to toggle a plain background instead of the detailed castle background. It looks cool but I would prefer to turn on increased readability of the icons. A simplified icons option (eg. “Make this game look more like Dungeon Raid” option) could be cool too, although way more work so anyone would be crazy to expect it.

Thank you for making this game and filling the considerable void left by Dungeon Raid. This game isn’t just a wannabe clone. It is a very respectable and nearly 100% authentic attempt at recreating that game and how it made me feel when playing it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for enjoying Dungeon Tracer!

It truly means a lot to us that our game has been able to fill the void left by Dungeon Raid. We put a lot of effort into capturing the depth and essence of the original, so hearing such positive feedback is incredibly rewarding.

We also appreciate your suggestions regarding a simplified background option and improved icon readability. The background toggle is definitely something we can consider and will be reviewing internally. As for the icon simplification, while it’s a great idea, it would require significant work, so we’ll need to carefully evaluate its feasibility.

We’re committed to continuously improving the game to provide the best possible experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and support!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-15*

Black screen 17 pro max

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. The iPhone 17 Pro Max black-screen issue was fixed in version 2.3.8 and later updates. Please update Dungeon Tracer to the latest version on the App Store and try again. If the screen remains black, please join our Discord and report your device model and iOS version so we can investigate.

### 1/5 — New update ruined it

*2024-10-12*

New update made it impossible for me — too hard to advance and still not able to improve characters enough

**Developer response:** Sorry the update made progression feel unfair. Since then, we’ve reworked difficulty progression and improved class, race, and skill growth in newer versions. Please update to the latest version and try again. If progression still feels blocked, join our Discord and tell us your difficulty, class, and turn range so we can review it.

### 1/5 — 이게 뭔 게임임?

*2024-10-02, version 1.3.1*

돈아까워… 환불해주세요

### 1/5 — Very unclear and boring game- no progression

*2024-08-17*

The basic gameplay loop looks fun. I tried out the first sample battle, and it lasted over an hour till I was finally killed. And when I died, it was kind of on purpose because I was getting bored of such a long fight. After the battle, it looks like I didn’t unlock anything or progress anything. Complete and utter confusing waste of time. after an hour of playing a game and winning I should have some sort of progress. I’m guessing that dev is just sadistic or is waiting for people to buy expensive upgrades. Stay away not even worth $.99 . absolutely no sense of progression.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing the game and taking the time to write a review. When you first start the game, you can unlock other classes by defeating the special enemies that appear on all difficulty levels except Easy with the adventurer class you initially choose. There are already many elements in the game that you can enjoy without needing any updates. If you have any questions, feel free to join the developer's Discord. Thank you!

효과음까지 그대로 갖다 쓰면서 오마쥬라니. 오마쥬가뭔지 모르는 건 아닐 텐데 낯이 두꺼우시네.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-07-21*

The game doesn’t allow you to progress past 10 or so turns.  Enemies inundate the player and there’s seemingly now way to deal them damage.  The board is quickly overwhelmed with enemy icons that eliminate any way to progress.

**Developer response:** Hello, first of all, thank you for playing our game and leaving a valuable review. If normal mode is too difficult, please play the tutorial and easy mode. Thanks again for your review. If you need more information, please join the developer discord.

### 1/5 — 플레이어가 정보를 얻을 수 없다

*2024-07-15*

플레이 하면서 막연하게 알 수 있는 정보는 있지만 정식으로 정리된 자료나 도움말은 없다 캐릭터 해금 조건이나 적들의 기믹을 정확히 알 수 없어 불쾌한 경험 및 플레이 동기가 떨어진다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 소중한 피드백 감사합니다. 

저희 게임을 플레이해주셔서 감사드리며, 지적해주신 부분에 대해 깊이 공감하고 있습니다. 플레이어 여러분께서 보다 원활하게 게임을 즐기실 수 있도록 정식 도움말과 자료를 준비 중에 있습니다. 캐릭터 해금 조건과 적들의 기믹에 대한 명확한 정보를 제공하여, 게임의 즐거움과 도전 의욕을 높일 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다. 

앞으로도 많은 관심과 성원 부탁드립니다. 감사합니다.

### 2/5 — Too hard and not satisfying

*2025-02-01*

The “normal” level is too difficult. I’ve played for many hours and find that as you progress on normal The enemies SIGNIFICANTLY out number everything else on board. I can see on hard and levels above but normal? And I haven’t been able to unlock anything. At the very least make it to where you can unlock new characters and weapons on easy and use those same unlocks on harder levels to get more advanced characters and items. But since the easy level doesn’t give you any unlocks (which isn’t so easy at times) then it feels like a waste of time playing. I LOVE the concept and gameplay execution. But there’s no joy when you can’t advance. (Playing normal or harder). And when you do advance you get nothing out of except a high score (Playing easy). Better yet-why not make to where every-time you play (regardless of the difficulty level) the game keeps a running accumulative score. And when you reach certain score milestones you’ll get to unlock characters and items. That way no matter how hard the game gets -you know you’ll be rewarded if you hang in there. Please do a major update and implement this idea. Then it will be a five star game.

**Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for your valuable feedback.

There are no plans to change the difficulty or reward system. The game is designed to offer a challenging experience, and the easy mode is intended for learning the mechanics. The reward differences across difficulties are part of the game’s design philosophy.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue to explore ways to enhance the gameplay experience. Thank you for your support!

### 5/5 — Dungeon Raid Reborn

*2026-08-04*

This is the Dungeon Raid clone I’ve been waiting for! There have been others but none of them have come as close as this one does. It even uses the same sound effects as the original! I love that I can go on a run that lasts hours, then turn it off & pick it up the next day. I would even dare say I prefer the graphics of this game over the original. The difficulty balance seems to be just right & I really appreciate the various classes & skills that can be unlocked through gameplay. Love it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable review.
We’ll continue improving the game and adding new content so that it can become even more fun and polished.

### 5/5 — This Dungeon was Raided

*2026-07-23*

Waiting for I think over a decade. If you know you know

**Developer response:** Thank you! I was a longtime Dungeon Raid player myself, and when it became unplayable I wanted to build the successor I was waiting for. That's how Dungeon Tracer started. A big free content update is coming later this year, and I'll keep working to make it the best game it can be.

### 5/5 — 데이터가 다 날아갔습니다

*2026-07-08*

재밌게 즐기다 며칠 전 업데이트 후 계속 튕겨서 다시 다운받았는데 데이터가 아예 날아갔습니다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. Dungeon Tracer 개발자입니다.

먼저 업데이트 이후 게임이 계속 튕겨 앱을 다시 설치하시게 만들고, 그 과정에서 데이터가 사라진 점 정말 죄송합니다.

해당 iOS 실행 오류는 수정했으며, 재설치 후 서버에 저장된 데이터를 다시 불러오는 복구 흐름도 함께 보강했습니다. 현재 수정 버전인 iOS 2.6.18이 App Store 심사 대기 중이라, 승인되는 대로 최대한 빠르게 배포하겠습니다.

다만 앱을 삭제하면 기기 안에 저장되어 있던 로컬 데이터와 로컬 백업은 함께 삭제됩니다. 그래서 복구가 가능한 경우는, 앱 삭제 전에 Game Center 계정 기준으로 서버에 진행 데이터가 저장되어 있었던 경우입니다.

2.6.18이 배포되면, 같은 Game Center 계정으로 로그인된 상태에서 게임을 한 번 실행해 주세요. 서버에 이전 데이터가 남아 있다면 자동 복구를 시도합니다.

만약 2.6.18에서도 복구되지 않는다면 서버에 저장된 백업이 없어 자동 복구가 어려운 상황일 수 있습니다. 그 경우에도 최대한 확인해볼 수 있도록, 게임 내 닉네임과 기억나는 진행 상황을 알려주시면 추가로 살펴보겠습니다.

불편을 드려 정말 죄송합니다.

### 5/5 — 재밌어요!

*2026-06-16*

시간 가는줄 모르고 하고있어요 다만 편의성 부분에서 아쉬운게 있습니다. 처음하는 사람 입장에서 정예 적들의 능력이 뭔지 모르니 꾹 눌러서 확인하게 되는데 이때 손을 떼면 바로 없어져서 좀 답답합니다 손이 커서 누르면서 보기가 좀 힘들때가 있어요. 지금방식을 좋아하는 유저들도 많을테니 옵션을 넣어주시면 안되나요? 꾹 눌렀을때 정예적 설명이 팝업되고 또한번 터치하면 닫히게끔! 부탁드립니다

**Developer response:** 재밌게 플레이해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다!

정예 적 설명을 확인할 때 불편하셨던 부분도 충분히 이해했습니다. 현재 방식은 계속 누르고 있어야 해서 손이 가리거나 보기 어려울 수 있을 것 같습니다.

말씀해주신 것처럼 기존 방식을 유지하면서도, 옵션으로 설명을 고정 표시하고 다시 터치하면 닫히는 방식을 선택할 수 있도록 개선을 검토해보겠습니다.

소중한 의견 감사합니다!

### 5/5 — Excellent value for money

*2026-06-03, version 2.5.8*

The game’s mechanics are quick to learn. The generation of enemies, coins and useful items is random so every play through is different. It’s quite addictive. There are no micro transactions so the game is excellent value for money at the price.

### 5/5 — Great gameplay, plenty of replayability and depth

*2026-05-27*

Loving the game. It has all the Dungeon Raid feels and then some. Right now my only wish is for the text to be larger. It is punishing on my eyes even with reading glasses.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the gameplay and replayability. I also really appreciate your feedback about the text size. I’ll look into improving readability in a future update.

Thanks again for playing!
