Though yes there are still some glitches like you can see a white outline of the secret room it is still a enjoyable game plus, if you are scared to pay $5.99, you can try it out on a computer and see wether it is good or not for yourself. It is still a classical dungeon RPG where you go down levels, find stronger enemies, make up better strategies as you go and get more loot. I give this game a five-star review as it is very popular even though there are many other games. Note: To all of those others who have given a bad review cause you can’t bring non-artifacts with you. You have to be stupid. There is a spell in the top right of the skill tree that allows you to turn any item into a artifact and bring it out of the cave and you can already get it within five EASY level ups. To the creator, thank you for making such a fantastic classic RPG game. ### 5/5 — Suggestion for improvement *2018-08-31* I’ve been into this game since the first one went up on Kongregate, and I still absolutely love it. That being said, I have an idea I think would make it a lot better. The most tiresome thing about the game is constantly switching out several pieces of gear between each fight and before every time I cast Heal. There’s only room for 10 items in the Quick Menu, and that’s far from enough to properly counter all the elemental damages of the different enemies, let alone put on my best Magic gear before healing. What would solve the whole problem easily is allowing up to 10 customizable Item Sets, which would fit into a slot on the Quick Menu, but when toggled would switch into all of the gear that was designated to be part of that Set. Item slots not designated for the Set wouldn’t change. The player should be able to name each Set. One more tab in the Quick Menu setup would list Item Sets 1-10 as icons that can be placed into the Quick Menu slots. I hope you’ll consider my idea. Best of luck with the best game on the App Store! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-07-30* It was amazing to play on PC, and it is just as amazing on Tablet. I’d really recommend this one if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers and RPG’s. As a small note, the music doesn’t loop correctly, but that’s hardly much of an issue. Excellent game! ### 5/5 — 😐 *2018-05-31* They fixed save problem so I’ll retract my bad review but still wish I could get a care package to replace all the gems and large magic potions I had collected which totaled 5 hours worth of grinding ### 5/5 — Great game and awesome developer! *2018-05-31* This is the best time killer in my phone! It’s fun to try different strategies and collect the crazy amounts of gear and gems. Gameplay is long lasting and memorable. The story isn’t too complicated but it Ropes you in quickly. You’ll find yourself looking everywhere for secret rooms to discover the hidden story behind the enchanted cave. Even better, the game developer is very responsive. If a problem arises on the app, he communicates quickly and patches issues smoothly. Great game by a great company! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-05-19* Love this game but I have a issue when I try to paste my import data into another device on the app it just says null. I’m trying to transfer a save from my iPad to my iPhone. ### 5/5 — iPhone X, iOS 11.x *2018-05-18, version 3.05* Thanks for the 3.05 update! The iPhone X screen support is a welcome addition. I love it when indie devs outclass and outperform large corporations. These are the devs we should support. ### 5/5 — Wow... even better than the original, which was great *2018-04-24* This sequel adds a lot of new features to the basic formula that made The Enchanted Cave so fun to play. Leveling up is always satisfying, but the forge system, making it possible to improve your existing equipment, adds tons of depth... and the skill trees! Sure didn’t see THAT coming - and very glad it’s there! If that’s not all, even more improvements are planned. I cannot recommend this game highly enough! ### 5/5 — You don’t see me complaining *2017-11-07, version 2.27* Was there ever a first ### 5/5 — Worth Every Penny *2017-06-22* I've put thousands of hours into gaming (PC and console) this game has been the best mobile game I've ever played. It's a dungeon crawler type rng, very little story or dialogue but it has a great loot and exploration system. It's nothing revolutionary but it's great for passing the time. You'll get your money's worth easily. ### 5/5 — Best phone game *2017-05-29* I've played many phone games over the years and this is probably my favorite game because it seems like a legit game. The controls are perfect and it has a lot of entertainment value. ### 5/5 — Great game thank you *2017-05-27* Have to congratulate the developers for producing a game like this. I'm loving every minute of it... Found a couple of bugs but hasn't ruined my experience at all. The description mentions risk v reward and you get a lot of that here. I'm sure there's ways to overpower yourself but part of the beauty of games like these is to work that out. I think I paid what 5 bucks for this game and I know I've already had my moneys worth. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I really wanted to like this game... *2018-12-14, version 3.12* I was looking for something challenging after beating 9th Dawn II, which took me over a year to finish (completionist-style). Unfortunately, this just isn’t anywhere challenging enough for me. It’s waaaaay too easy. I completed it in 8 runs in one week. It lags like crazy if there are even just a few enemies on the screen at one time. ### 1/5 — Sticks *2018-05-31, version 3.10* What a boring game with played out mechanics complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-08-13, version 2.27* This games is a waste because of quality in game in my opinion its very boring because it has no objective or story you just walk in a cave and go down floors. And when you come out everything's gone.😡 ### 1/5 — Entertaining but.. *2015-05-23, version 2.15* I love this game and I was so excited to buy it once it came onto the App Store. However, I've been diligently playing this game for a week or so in my free time and I finally made it to the boss level. I had at least 200 potions saved up total. My character was leveled up nicely. And right when the boss battle commenced.. My friends started blowing up my phone. On this run through, I went all 100 levels at once. Starting at 0. Needless to say, I lost the battle because the notifications were flooding in like crazy and I couldn't see my health bar at all to time potions and magic. And now, the game won't even restart. I'm just stuck on the screen, dead in front of this demon. I'm afraid I may have to delete the app to get it to reset because no buttons are available. And in that event, I will not download again. ### 2/5 — Hate to rain on the parade... *2016-08-17* I really thought this would be a clone of Castle of the Winds based on the screens. To anyone wondering likewise - it isn't. That's not the reason for the grade, however (even though it was pretty disappointing). The game lacks polish. The music is annoying and the sprites look cheesy. Especially when compared with other rouge lites offered on the App Store for the same price. What bothers me the most is that the enemies don't move after your turn. It becomes a game of pacing yourself and you cannot go back up levels to escape without losing items. I can't understand the logic behind this game mechanic other than to stack length to an already unappealing game. These must be shill reviews or people justifying the waste of 3 dollars. ### 3/5 — Ruined by crashes *2018-08-08* A surprisingly addictive game is ruined by constant crashing on my iPhone 7. Crashing occurs when enchanting items on level 0, and even worse, the progress is reset when you try to go back. I could love this game but for the price, I expect a polished experience. What a waste of $6. I give a generous 3 stars for what it attempts to do, which could be really fun, but isn’t because of the crashing. Another issue is the constant lagging. My phone isn’t old and it isn’t weak. I thought this was an old game meant for less powerful phones. Why would mine struggle? The lagging isn’t too bad but it’s noticeable. Please fix these issues. I do believe I’ve found a hidden diamond but it still has yet to be polished into a sparkling gem. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Bug on boss lvl 100 *2016-08-19, version 2.27* Game crashes 100% of time on landing killing blow to lvl 100 boss. Pls fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Sensacional *2020-05-16, version 3.12* O jogo é muito legal. Melhor rpg de toda store. Clássico, divertido e o melhor é um rpg sem mimimi. show ### 5/5 — Awesome Turn-Based RPG! *2020-04-21* I have had this game for years and just now got around to playing it. My loss! This is one of the best TB dungeon crawlers I have played in years! Very well thought out game. No bugs to report! Very solid and very fun! KUDOS to the dev! A lot of time, thought and love went into making this game and it shows! Very much like an enchanted version of Sword of Fargoal! Wholeheartedly Recommended!!! I liked it so much, that I bought the first Enchanted Cave game from the same developer. I wish he would make a 3rd game in the series! Again, KUDOS to the dev!!! I am playing on a 2015 iPad Pro 256GB, running iOS 9.32. ### 5/5 — Best Dungeon Game *2020-03-24* This game has the best elements of dungeon games, even though it may not look as good. This is actually the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
