### 4/5 — Muito curto

*2024-05-06*

O jogo e muito bom mas ele e muito curto eu zerei em 4 horas e 50 minutos ele poderia ter um modo histora

### 4/5 — Bacana

*2024-01-09*

O problema que se tem com jogos mobile é a precisão dos comandos touch. Poucos desenvolvedores conseguem acertar isso 100% e aqui ainda falta melhorá-los. Por essa razão é um jogo que eu prefiriria jogar com um joystick. Mas é uma questão pessoal. É um jogo muito bacana, muito bonito e bem feito! Possui power ups e tem um quê de rpg e craft, mas sem modo história, é mais pra um roguelike. Vale a pena conferir!

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-02-25, version 1.12*

Only 50 lvls and poor shops but has pretty good potential.

### 5/5 — Simple, Quick, Fun.

*2023-02-20, version 1.12*

This game is a solid medieval fantasy arcade platformer that makes a low amount of content much more replayable than what might be expected.

### 5/5 — Its good but I would like to have real controller support

*2023-02-14*

everything is good, but it needs controller support

### 5/5 — Very fun albeit short title

*2023-02-11*

This was a really fun game. I enjoyed the mechanics, combat and no frills action. It’s a rogue lite that has you handling a dwarf packed with all the elements you would expect. Combat and enemies are fun. Difficulty can be hard but not too hard. Only gripe with it is that it’s on the shorter end, would definitely love to play more of it.

### 3/5 — No crossplay between phones/iPad

*2023-02-04, version 1.12*

No cross play/save between devices. Too bad.

### 3/5 — コンパクトなゲーム

*2023-02-03, version 1.12*

アクションRPGなのである程度の育成が終わるとそこからは難易度が非常に低いです。（レベルはリセットして振り分けができるので縛りはできます）
様々なビルドがあるのですがやり込み要素が皆無なのが残念。
敵のバリエーションも乏しくすぐに慣れて結構単調。
しかし半日軽く時間を潰すゲームを探しているならオススメです。
一度クリアするまでなら結構楽しめます。

シンプルでレトロなアクションRPGとして見るとよくまとまっていて非常に良くできています。

### 5/5 — Nice

*2022-12-31*

Dwarf Journey is quite a bit better than I thought it was going to be. I haven’t had any issues with the virtual controls - in fact, I’ve found them incredibly accurate - the gameplay area did seem kind of zoomed out too far, but there’s a magnifying glass option you can hit on the fly (don’t even need to go into the settings menu, it’s above your right side of the screen controls) which zooms in the perfect amount (on my iPh11). The graphics are cool… the color schemes used in each area that I’ve seen so far have been great and nothing has been hard to see against the backgrounds….
Really the only negative things I can say are that they didn’t take the phone’s notch into consideration, so unless you play with your phone’s up side up-side-down, you can’t tell how much material you’ve collected so far. That and the text is pretty small, making it hard to read (and this is coming from someone who has set their phone’s text size as small as it goes). 
Neither of those are things I find big enough to deduct a star…. 
With all of that said, this is easily one of the best platformer based iOS games I’ve played in a while. It’d be awesome to see a ‘full-fledged’ platformer as a sequel or spin-off or something, instead of the room-based game that’s here. While I understand it’s a lot more work, the AppStore is starved for those kinds of titles, and a higher price-point would be totally justified.
Anyway…. I will definitely be keeping an eye on these devs, looking forward to whatever comes out in the future. 
=D

### 5/5 — Short but awesome roguelite

*2022-12-27, version 1.12*

I’m not a fan of roguelikes where you’re starting from scratch each time. Here you’re upgrading your weapons, armour and stats after each run which lets you get that little bit further each time. There are only four areas in the game but given the lean nature of your progression where all the bloat of other games has been trimmed away it feels spot on. It took me about four hours to complete but it was fantastic four hours!

### 4/5 — 良作だがボリューム不足

*2022-12-10, version 1.12*

良く出来ているアクションゲームで非常に楽しかったです。
キーコンフィグでボタンの大きさや配置が変えられるので、それは絶対行いましょう。
しかしステージ数は少なめです。
私はエンディングまで６時間でした。
エンディング後にクリアまでに掛かった時間が表示されるので、作者としてはそのタイムアタックをやり込み要素として楽しんでもらいたいのだと思います。

### 5/5 — Bedava olmuş deneyelim

*2022-12-08, version 1.12*

Retro severim, mfi (konsol) desteği var. Controller uygulamasında gördüm 70tl'den bedava olmuş. Deneyip yorumumu güncelleyeceğim. 
Güncelleme: Oyun 22tl olmuş bedavaya iyiki almışım. Oyun çokkk zevkli. Bildiğiniz zindan oyunları gibi ama kolay değil gelişebiliyorsunuz saatlerce konsolla oynadım hiç sıkılmadım. Mesafeli silahlar yok sadeceyakın dövüş silahları var. Boss kesip köye dönememek saçma olmuş ya bitirecen ki bitiremezsin çok zor yada ölücen. Ölünce madenlerinizin bir kısmı yok oluyo her seferinde map sıfırlanıyo baştan giriyorsunuz. Tavsiyem 4. silahı ve zırhı açana kadar girip girip level kasın item geliştirmeyin. 4. silah ve zırhtan sonra yenisi açılmıyor.

### 4/5 — Ganz gut

*2022-12-05*

Ganz nettes Spiel. Nach 4h ist es dann aber auch durchgespielt.

### 5/5 — 死んで戻ってを繰り返して

*2022-12-04, version 1.12*

最大レベルは50までなので、あとはどの能力に割り振るかです！自分は運を上げて毎回クリティカルが出るようにしてました！ルーンも全部セットして、とってもたのしかったです！

It just doesn’t feel great to control or play

### 3/5 — Legal

*2024-06-14*

O ÚNICO PROBLEMA É o morcego vermelho

### 3/5 — Great game with increasingly more obvious drawbacks

*2023-09-27*

Ok, let me start by saying, that I found the first few hours playing this game really fun, and if it weren’t for these issues that I’m about to talk about, I would probably be giving this a higher rating. I am a huge rogue like fan, started with Dead Cells, and now I have, like, twenty and counting. And when I saw that there seemed to be another one for the collection, I was extremely excited. I downloaded the game and found the beginning very fun, interesting leveling up mechanics, I was into it…

 …Until I reached the level cap… 

 Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a difficult game, but having to, basically, face the same brick wall with a different combination of these 50 levels, just trying to get some progress, having to face the same levels, with the same enemies. Now, I know a rogue like is supposed to be somewhat repetitive at some point in the progression. But this game reached that point, A LOT quicker than other titles I have played. If the developers added some level diversion, like those similar to that of Soul Knight, that would greatly extend the game’s ability to be entertaining for longer. 

 But, anyway, that all that I have to say about this game, the general game mechanics are nice, but the same levels and the same enemies without any diversion can get dull very quickly.

### 3/5 — Nicht gut

*2023-02-12*

Das Spiel hat ein sehr schlechtes Kontrollsystem und nicht intuitive Physik. Keine Empfehlung…

### 5/5 — Ótimo!

*2024-05-23*

Nada a reclamar, jogo perfeito, tanto na história quando no desenvolvimento de personagem, você cria suas armas, utiliza runas que melhoraram sua jogabilidade, monta sua build, a única coisa que eu crio que faltou foram mais mapas e poder upar até o lv 100, mas isso espero que fique para o jogo 2, ou uma possível atualização, obrigado!

### 5/5 — Jogo top

*2024-05-21*

O jogo é muito bom mecânica legal mas poderia ter modo história e melhorado na parte do pulo achei meio travado mas bem legal só não intendi como consegue a imortalidade e como funciona o mapa mas de resto muito bom parabéns Savino e equipe Orube (espero ter a acertado o nome)

### 5/5 — Really Fantastic

*2024-04-15*
