Diehard Dungeon

Gets the 10 for being an alternative to Spelunky. I've been searching for a game that gives you that instant accessibilty/challenge and this does. Wasteland Kings/Rogue legacy being other good games.

As roguelikes go, this game is a little bland. I like how the game is under active development, and maybe some of the issues I had with the game will be improved with time. The combat is almost really fun, but is marred by a few things, the biggest being the gun, which requires pressing *3* buttons simultaneously to fire, and with infinite ammo and lots of damage, results in most of the combat revolving around spamming. Also, the combat in each room might have a brief frenzy but quickly settles down to a drawn-out enemy cleanup. Maybe some people would like the treasure chest being a slot machine, but for me it broke the pacing of the game and was annoying.

This game makes nearly no sense at all and does a horrible job of balance and communication to the player. Really I would not recommend it, even for the diehard roguelike fans out there.
