Especially the updates that come after. My problem is that the gaming loop gets really repetitive. I catch myself falling asleep most of the time especially on the third and fourth boss fight. I also have a hard time understanding the mechanics of equipping monster parts and what the parts do in general. Also I don’t understand how increasing your main monster stats due to other creatures and traps, without having any visual changes to their status. I would also like to see more details about the hero’s and their status on screen as a UI part especially for elites and bosses. ### 5/5 — Could you make your game available in German *2026-08-22* Could you make your game available in German and make it a bit easier? Your game is hard; I don't know what's good or bad. I don't know anything about the game at all. It would be nice if you made the game a bit easier so it’s actually fun to play, instead of making me want to smash my phone the whole time. And it would be nice to have an endless mode, like in other games. Dungeon Maker. ### 5/5 — A little bit of complicated *2026-08-21, version 0.6.0* Not know how to build a set yet ### 1/5 — 여전한 저격성 패치 *2026-08-20* 온라인이고 경쟁 요소가 있으면 이해가 되지만, 싱글게임에서 유저들이 공략을 세워 게임을 클리어하면 저격성 패치하는게 여전함 ### 1/5 — 完全耐性の敵出てきて草 *2026-08-20* 万象の洞察と精霊の君臨を持ってきたステージ4の中ボスに負けた。 物理免疫と元素耐性？どうやって倒せって言うんだこれ ランダムパーツと言うならもっと意味不明な組み合わせを持ってくる確率が高くていいのに、なぜか毎回物理敵には物理強化パーツ、魔法敵には魔法強化パーツみたいに誂えたような組み合わせのパーツがつく。 支配の使徒がクリティカルアップスキル積んできた時は笑うしかなかった。 どういう仕組みで抽選が行われてるんだろう、これ とりあえず絶対勝てない組み合わせをするのはやめてほしい。対処できないなんてゲームじゃない。 （以下前回のレビュー） 大型アプデ直後にボロクソレビューを書いた一人だが、細かい修正アプデ（5.4時点）後に最高難易度の試練30、キャンペーン3全盛り周回が出来るようになっての感想です。 今のバランスはかなり良くなってる。特に理不尽に強すぎた支配の使徒・真名が何度も調整されたおかげで試練盛りしても死闘で勝てるレベルになったのが本当に嬉しい。 下の方で8等級4匹合成しないと9等級にならないと言ってる方がいるが、8等級1匹＋7等級1匹＋6等級以下のそこらへんで手に入るザコモンスター複数で普通に9等級100%にできる。 先鋒隊4人は試練30だとさすがに辛いので本当に“序盤を生き残るための先鋒隊”になった。 今は独尊構築（超越体、フュシス）がめちゃくちゃ強い。支配力減少デバフとも噛み合っていてなおかつ覚醒レベル上げの周回もガンガン回せておすすめ。 このゲームは「自分がいまギリギリ回せる難易度」で周回し、記憶レベルを上げ、覚醒レベルを上げ、せめて気質を厳選した個体をちゃんと技を考えて育てないと高難易度は勝てない。 ポケモンみたいな感じ。 そこらへんで捕まえた野生のポケモンで四天王攻略は難しい。そんな感じのイメージ。 現状はローグライクってよりはタワーディフェンス&育成ゲー。とにかくコツコツ育成を楽しめる方向けだなぁ ### 5/5 — Definitely worth the $3! *2026-08-17, version 0.5.4* Gotten my moneys worth so far, here’s hoping for a PC release! ### 5/5 — In my favorite app games *2026-08-11, version 0.5.4* The is by far one of my all time favorite app games, it’s easily in my top three favorites. But if I could make one request, please make this playable offline as well! I’d greatly appreciate the support as I’ve also liked the game so much I even scrounged up the money to get the expansion pass. ### 3/5 — Another great GC game *2026-08-09* Played for a while, but has definitely become a PTW game otherwise the grind takes too long and storage becomes as real issue. Have gone back to Dungeon Maker as much more enjoyable. ## Frequently asked questions about Dungeon Within ### What is the gameplay like in Dungeon Within?
