You get stuck with not enough gold to buy the next thing and so you have to earn pennies to get to the next upgrade. So you end up just losing and losing and losing to the same tier 2 or tier 3 quest objective. The game makes on feeble attempts to give you hints on how to adjust your strategy. I don’t want to be guaranteed to win, but i also don’t want to feel stuck or trapped. ### 5/5 — Still an amazing game, wish there were more DLCs *2024-11-23* Brilliant and perhaps unique turn based combat and exploration game. I played it first when it came up and just returned to play again after many years. Still satisfies. Amazing job. ### 5/5 — Clever, well designed, loads of fun! *2023-01-08, version 1.5* I’ve had the app for a while, and keep coming back to it. I keep hoping the team will put out a GoD 2, and if they ever do, I will be buying it the day it comes out. ### 5/5 — Une suite, please ! *2022-10-13* J’y reviens régulièrement depuis sa sortie, il y a 6 ans. Définitivement un des meilleurs jeux en catégorie RPG/Cards. Pas vu d’équivalent à la hauteur à ce jour… ### 5/5 — Got free on PC. Liked it so much I bought the app. *2022-10-02, version 1.5* App is even better. Why are you still reading this? It’s worth more than $6. ### 5/5 — Absolute Empfehlung *2022-10-01* Schade das es keine weiteren Erweiterungen mehr gibt…. Mehr davon! ### 5/5 — Can’t get rid of this game! *2022-07-30* I play through, I remove it from my ipad, then a month later, I download it again and go through again! I just love this addictive game! A SEQUEL PLEASE! We want more. In my top 3 App store games. ### 2/5 — This would be my favorite game if it wouldn’t keep crashing *2022-07-28, version 1.5* I absolutely love this game! So why the one star review? The game keeps crashing. I get a error 1009, which effectively ends the game. ### 5/5 — Worth investing some time *2022-07-07* I loved this game. I had fave character classes (the ice cream monk), but the humour throughout kept me interested. Brilliant fun, and a bit different ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2022-06-30* As a middle-aged, middle-England gamer I fine the quirky nature and attention to detail in this game really works. You do get better with practise and luck will always have a hand. You get emotionally attached to your successful explorers and I simply love it. My 12 yr old son can hammer his mouse relentlessly steering a silly space ship through endless brainless levels…this is much better! ## Frequently asked questions about Guild of Dungeoneering ### What is Guild of Dungeoneering?
