Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

In the larger context of the roguelike genre, Dungeon Clawler plays with a lot of familiar tropes. However, its claw machine mechanic is playful enough to make it stand out and outlast the trappings of other games in this niche. It is clear that the developers had a lot of fun designing the world and characters to keep players on their toes. While it does have a bit of a learning curve that could’ve been smoothed out and the luck factor can never be underestimated, Dungeon Clawler is a great time. If you’re looking for something to sink a lot of time into, but want to save your quarters on, this is a roguelike you shouldn’t miss.

An interesting mix of claw machine mechanics with turn-based combat and roguelike elements.

Just when it seemed the rogue genre had exhausted its potential, Dungeon Clawler delivers something fresh. The gameplay is easy to pick up regardless of age and there are plenty of unlockable characters, but the balance is lacking and the difficulty spikes are frustrating. The sheer number of skills doesn't justify the fact that only a handful are actually useful.
