### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-05-15, version 3.12*

Years later, I still come back and download this little game. Nice job

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-07-02*

I’ve been playing TEC2 since just about the time it came out. It’s just simply a lot of fun. I’ve played it on every iPhone and iPad that I’ve had in the last decade, every version of iOS and iPadOS and it just keeps going and going. I’ve played it completely through many many times, because each dungeon is uniquely generated it’s always fresh. Oh I’ve tried other dungeon crawler games, but none has worked as well, or been as much fun as TEC2.

### 4/5 — Would be five stars but it crashes on potionmaking

*2024-02-17*

Idk but when I use the smelter at the shop to craft it crashes when I make the potion. Love this game though used to play it off armor games

### 4/5 — A bug here and there, but love it anyway!

*2023-09-29*

I played this years ago back on Kongregate and was so excited to see it on mobile! There’s a few little bugs here and there including crashes a little too frequently for a paid game, but the progression loss is never demoralizing and the game is just so dang fun I keep playing! Gotta say too, the online version I played was fun, but there are so many other things that have been added either to this version or just over time that make this 100% worth playing again!

### 4/5 — Very fun

*2023-06-09, version 3.12*

I am having a lot of fun playing, but the game keeps crashing.

### 5/5 — Childhood

*2021-12-18*

Used to play this on various flash websites as a kid, and I still love this game to this day. Now that it is no longer viable to play the game online, the iOS version is a safe haven

### 5/5 — I keep coming back

*2021-09-30*

I’ve defeated the game three or four times now but I just don’t stay away for long. I really enjoy the game mechanics, overall difficulty of the game, and even though it’s an older game I still love the graphics. The diversity of heros, monsters, and equipment makes each play through a new experience for me and I will keep looking forward to playing for years to come.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-12-12, version 3.12*

This game is so fun! It is the perfect example of risk vs reward. Will you call it quits and keep what you have, or go one more floor?

### 5/5 — Classic fun grind

*2020-07-24, version 3.12*

No in app purchases, just a good ole game.

Thanks for not being another overly saturated pay to win type of game or anything.

### 5/5 — Music

*2020-07-17, version 3.12*

Heyyy, love the game. Absolutely enjoy playing it. Thought ya might want to know the music is bugged. It repeats itself right about in the middle of the track, and I kinda like the music. Have a good day, yeah? You prolly need it
