And unfortunately progression is slow. Would love to see it updated and fixed a little ### 3/5 — Great game with many bugs *2024-04-17* A fun, beautiful game with compelling gameplay/upgrade loop. This makes it all the more disappointing when encountering bugs. Coins disappearing, falling through walls in dungeons, and being unable to collect any red gems (which is game breaking) are just a few bugs I have run in to and would love it if the developer game this some love. ### 3/5 — Bleh. Casual at best *2022-07-07, version 1.0.6* With mfi support this lack lustre gem would shine; unfortunately, limiting orientation to portrait and limiting the “customizable” HUD to the bottom 24% of the device makes this game practically unplayable for me. Its hard to time and line up attacks while incorporating blocks with the shield. If you aren’t picky, and deaths out of your control don’t frustrate you I’d recommend it; otherwise, move on. ### 4/5 — It makes fun, but … *2022-02-04* sometimes the texts are on top of each other so that you can't read anything. You can also find items at the bottom, but if you then die as a result, they are no longer in the inventory. Some glitches thats leg you stock behind a Wall. I Have the pig, i Use the imp. But the King says, Here, your new companion. Please clear the bugs. Game crushes opening doors sometimes. And if i found a good item, its lost too. ### 4/5 — Bug report *2021-12-27, version 1.0.6* I went into the tavern talked to the guy and it crashes my game idk why this is happening so can you fix it or is it just my phone ### 4/5 — Patience helps *2021-12-08, version 1.0.6* Worked through much of this, found lots of tressures, coins & crystals. Never could fix the castle, nor find missing people . Not sure why. Flew with the dragon to a new location; couldnt kill, or even hurt the giant spider. Completed almost every treasure but almost no quests. Found prisnors below castle, but couldn't help them. Lots of puzzling things. Fun to try , worth checking out . ### 3/5 — Review after completion *2021-10-08, version 1.0.4* Starts out amazing and then the bugs and small world diminish the potential awesomeness. Dungeons and mining area gets repetitive pretty quickly. The imp pet is bugged and vanishes( I acquired him before i had a quest for it). There appears to only be two swords you can find and build, the fire and the death one. There’s stairs in the dungeon with glowing yellow light that wont let you more than half way up. The heart belt is buggy and gives you so much health over time that it goes off the screen. The drone boss can be visited over and over but there is no way to kill him after the first time and so you cant ever leave the area. The warning when you get there drone goes no where and the ending is lazy at best. This game could be something incredible but i think you released it too soon. Add some depth and fix the huge pile of bugs ### 3/5 — Game is super fun so far but buggy. *2021-09-30, version 1.0.4* Game constantly locks up when trying to enter dungeons, I guess it’s when your character isn’t exactly on the door judging by things so far. You can also dash through walls and get stuck by dropping down from things like stairs and quickly hitting dash towards a wall. When mining left or right sometimes a single block can get stuck and you will just keep swinging and not hit. So far I have just been able to back up and swing from another angle fortunately. You can also get stuck automining stairs which prevents you from getting to doors you should be able to. There’s an area that i cleared once that a dragon takes you to and a door opens after a sort of boss and when I went back the door wouldn’t open again so I had to close the game. The game also crashed when switching pets, red crystals became available at lvl 10 I think so they showed up eventually. ### 4/5 — Korean language support request *2021-09-15, version 1.0.3* Korean language support request ### 3/5 — Great game *2021-09-10, version 1.0.2* Great game very fun but I lost my imp and can’t get it back due to a bug I’ll change my rating if they fix this. ### 3/5 — Bugged *2021-09-10, version 1.0.2* Good game with potential. But BUGGED. Crashes all the time. The version I am playing is 1.0.2. ### 4/5 — Tons of fun *2021-09-05, version 1.0* I'm loving it so far. May have found a bug, not sure. When I got the little flying devil companion, I went to see if I could switch back to the pig, and the game froze and I lost the devil companion and can't get it back. I have the "Beast Merchant" task but can't compete it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Miserable without a gamepad *2023-10-07, version 1.0.6* The touch controls are too wonky. Needs controller support. ### 1/5 — Rip off and unplayable *2022-09-09, version 1.0.6* First off there is a full ad supported version. Second, the game is unplayable due to the horrible controls. Otherwise it looks like it would be great. The pixel art looks good. I’m so tired of the apple store and how it rips people off. We buy these apps that don’t work and lose our money. ### 1/5 — Too difficult and punishing to be fun *2022-05-26, version 1.0.6* Starts out nice , once you hit castle upgrade 8 becomes horribly punishing and near impossible . Buggy controls, fast moving fog, monsters upgraded but cant upgrade my gear as Dungeon has no red crystals. Only play if you like dieing over and over with minimal progression and a RNG over skill system. Too bad as atmosphere is nice and gameplay loop might be fun if it weren’t made for masochists. Going to request a refund. ### 1/5 — Stuck and unplayable *2021-10-08, version 1.0.4* I asked the blacksmith(dragon) to take me back to the place I had already been and I’m now stuck in a fight with the round laser firing robot. I keep activating the three conduits. Click the Center button by the now 3 green dots. This brings the bot to the ground but I can’t do anything to him to get the door open as I’ve already done it once before. I’m stuck and can’t leave this fight, ### 1/5 — Bug mess with constant crashes *2021-09-15* I hoped that the dev would take care of the many bugs and glitches ASAP but it doesn’t seem to be the case... Monsters glitch through the map, character can get stuck in terrain, game crashes all the time loosing all progress made. Dear dev, please fix these game breaking bugs because it is unplayable as it is. Tell us how to contact you to share the issues! ### 1/5 — Crash and bug *2021-09-13, version 1.0.2* I tried to give benefit of the doubt but it's so buggy and crashes so often that I just can't. It doesn't help that saving only occurs when leaving the dungeon, so I keep wasting all the time before it crashes. I'll keep on my phone since the game could be good, if they becomes playable ### 1/5 — Buggy *2021-09-02, version 1.0* I’ve played for ten minutes and fallen through the map twice. Not a good start ### 2/5 — Some promise *2021-11-03, version 1.0.6* Not optimised at all for iPad. A third of the screen isn’t visible. ### 2/5 — Interesting concept but still buggy *2021-09-10, version 1.0.2* Vanishing imp has yet to reappear in my game. Red crystals are woefully underrepresented in the mines. Have yet to use souls without the game crashing. ### 2/5 — Great premise, poor execution *2021-09-05, version 1.0* At first glance, this game has a lot to offer — the premise of pairing dungeon loot with digging for buried treasure sounds fantastic, and I was really looking forward to getting hooked. Unfortunately, the game starts with a cold open that leaves you wondering what to do (I stared at the campfire screen for a solid minute until I realized that I was supposed to start moving), and the controls are explained in a scroll (pop-up window) that is displayed to the player once and ONLY once. (It took me forever to figure out the ladders after accidentally dismissing the instructions a split second after they unexpectedly appeared on the screen. This is an unacceptable interface / polish flaw.) The game may get better later on, but from an interface and polish perspective, it is DECIDEDLY mediocre, especially in the initial stages when first impressions matter most. I like supporting small developers and non-microtransaction games, but I deeply regret this purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME! *2022-12-02, version 1.0.6* I have no idea why this game doesn’t have all 5 star reviews! Such an awesome game! Great old school pixelated animation, funny story-line, entertaining mixture of hack & slash plus mining… what more could you ask for? It takes a little bit to really get into so give it time, you won’t regret it! P.S. Now that I’ve played this game for quite a while I keep running into a force close big, which is very frustrating! Seems like it happens when I try and enter a new door in a dungeons in the mine. Please fix! I love this game! ### 5/5 — Great game and left me wanting more *2022-09-07, version 1.0.6* I bought the game because I liked what I saw, and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I wish there was more! Like a D&M2!!! ### 5/5 — Charming and Funny *2021-09-30, version 1.0.4* A n interesting game with a go as far as you can roguelike mechanic , Animations and presentation are great and the mining / dungeon hunting game loop is fun and keeps you striving to go furher. i recommend it ### 5/5 — Really fun title! *2021-09-20, version 1.0.4* I’m having a really good time with this one! The problems I had originally were fixed in a recent update and the developer was very responsive with my bug report. Would like a little more depth with the upgrade system and that Alexandrite is super tough to come by haha ### 5/5 — Peak Mobile Gaming *2021-09-10, version 1.0.2* In a landscape of money grabbing “barely defined” mobile games, it’s becoming rarer and rarer to find high quality mobile games. These guys nailed it with D&M. Its beautiful and vibrant, filled with life and flavor. It gives me the same feelings I get when I play supergiant’s “Hades”. This is 100% worth the one time fee of 3 bucks. ### 5/5 — Pocket portrait roguelite *2021-09-07, version 1.0.1* I’m really liking it so far, with some caveats that the developer is addressing. The pixel art is gorgeous and evocative, and well animated. The sound design is also extremely good. I like that it’s playable one handed in portrait, though more often I’ll use both hands. The core gameplay loop (enter mines, dig and look for dungeon entrances, delve the dungeon and get treasure until you die and return to town, buy upgrades and repeat) is very compelling. There’s also some jank around the edges. There have been some crash bugs, some ways to get stuck enough that you have to quit the app to abort a run, etc, many of which bugs are fixed in today’s patch. I’m finding progression to be a challenge due to my limited skill, and also there’s an upgrade material that I just can’t find yet, which is sort of maddening. It’s definitely got me hooked, though, and if a mobile portrait-orientation roguelite with a really compelling presentation is appealing to you, I’d say it’s easily worth the price. Based on the developer’s responsiveness and track record from previous games, I think it’s likely to keep getting better. ### 5/5 — Beautiful pixelart action game *2021-09-04* コツコツ成長要素と適度な難易度。美しいピクセルアートと味のある世界観。説明は少なめ。まだまだ序盤だと思うが面白い。ただ現状ではバグが多い。鉱山で探検すると、３回に1回くらいは途中でフリーズしてしまう。早期改善を求む。 Interesting However, there are many bugs at present. It freezes once every three times. Seeking early improvement ### 5/5 — Wow, im impressed *2021-09-03, version 1.0* Its a rogue like, mining and action rpg. The graphics are some of the best pixel style 2d its up there if not better than Sword and Sorcery from superbros. Great polish, the audio is great and atmosphere. My only complaint is im on iphone x the notch hides the health bar and coins. My fingers are also bigger and id love a landscape mode its hard to play on portrait. ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2024-10-07, version 1.0.6* It’s a good game but once you beat it you can not restart it you are also stuck in a forever cutscene after getting all upgrades. I thought there was 2 endings 1 where you don’t unlock all upgrades and 1 where you unlock all upgrades ### 4/5 — Beautiful Art and Addictive Gameplay Marred by Frustrating Bugs *2024-01-07, version 1.0.6* I've been captivated by this game for a while now. It masterfully blends nostalgia with modern gaming sensibilities. The art style is a standout, beautifully crafted to evoke the classic video games of yore, and they absolutely nailed it. It’s not just about looks, though; the gameplay is genuinely addicting, offering an almost endless loop of exploration and discovery that keeps pulling me back in. However, my experience has been significantly dampened by a couple of major bugs. Firstly, there's an issue with the imp companion. Once you complete a quest from the notice board to unlock this companion, everything seems fine, until you try to swap it for another. If you do, the imp is lost forever, and oddly, the same quest appears again on the board but is impossible to complete a second time. Another critical bug involves the passive slots you unlock through progression. As you upgrade the castle, you unlock these slots, but if you unequip all your passive items, the slots disappear permanently. This is particularly frustrating as it basically permanently nerfs your character. It appears that a few of them reappeared, but not the same amount as before. These bugs are more than just minor inconveniences; they significantly hinder what could have been an outstanding gaming experience. This has the potential to be a mobile game masterpiece, but these frustrating issues need urgent attention. That is to say… I want my imp back! I hope the developers will address these problems soon, as the game truly deserves to shine without these flaws. Easily a 5 star masterpiece if these issues are fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
