Please add more monsters to dungeon and make fishing a heck of a lot easier its a pain in the butt please and there's a bug when we level up our minion and it has the right amount of XP it goes over to the amount of XP that we need to level up the minion and it doesn't level it up it has to go over like 300 XP over to the amount that we needed to level up the minion please fix this we have an iPhone 13 if that helps also please make it endless there is no level up limit or dungeon level up limit so you can just keep going on and on forever please do this thank you have a great day another bug we just backed up from iCloud and it's not letting us use our affect skills like analyze that and shield and swift foot and those please fix.

Its a good game with a style of character customization that we love but we dont like how theres not an option to optimize the battle text so it only shows who took the damage and who dealt it and we want there to be some way to increase the +1-9 at the end of a piece of equipment and if not that then a guide book that says which floors Angelica can be found on and the equipment possible to find on each floor.

Hi we really love this game!! We have a idea what if you add new flors to the dungeon? And add even more harder bosses to fight we like the last boss the 2 headed dragon its very cool we super recommend this game to all our friends thanks for makeing the game accessible.

It is so hard to find a game like this. It's exactly what we were looking for. Reminds us of Shining in the Darkness a little bit. We wish we could send a message thanking the dev for this awesome game but their summit island website no longer exists.

Hello, this is Kevin. We are kind of curious as to if you can make the sounds for the sword and other sounds more realistic and also could you make the sound quality even better? Also, when Im trying to fortune item and we have no ors, but yet when we press Forge, it says we dont have enough gold. Can you fix that also? Those are the only two suggestions we have thank you. Also, if a player is at level 600 and he, or she is helping another player, we were thinking that maybe the other player could cause more damage to the enemy when they are helping. Also, when the dungeon gets harder, will you add 50 more floors? Also, you add an endless mode? Whereas the dungeon floors never end. Also, could you add a weapon that starts out as attack powers one but later on if you level up so many times like for example, dungeon level eight, can you have a weapon go to as like attack power 644 when it first start? Thank you so much.

Great little game. Loved playing it is far too short but a lot of fun. We did donate hoping to see more in the future.

Its fun we like that there is a free tester, the lite version its a classic looking good rpg it inspired us to make one on a note book.

Cant seem to save to iCloud anymore. Can you please help check and fix it.

Please add more monsters to dungeon and make fishing a heck of a lot easier its a pain in the butt please and there's a bug when we level up our minion and it has the right amount of XP it goes over to the amount of XP that we need to level up the minion and it doesn't level it up it has to go over like 300 XP over to the amount that we needed to level up the minion please fix this we have an iPhone 13 if that helps also please make it endless there is no level up limit or dungeon level up limit so you can just keep going on and on forever please do this thank you have a great day.

We were playing the lite version of this game and got to the end of it before buying this version. We followed the steps and saved to iCloud then loaded iCloud on the full version. We had all our stats and spells/skills but none of our equipment or inventory transferred over with us (excluding the home stone and fishing equipment).

Great game but having a problem backing up save to the iCloud. Keep getting a Code 2 error.

We definitely recommend this game. Its awesome.

Our day isnt complete without spending time in this game. We do wish there was an upgrading system for the minions.

OK its us again we do not know your email so we can we email you we do not take any steps and then the game crashes. We play the game normally and it randomly crashes OK look we will admit we love this game to death however, the game continuously crashes all the time no matter what we do. We cannot fix the game and stop it from crashing. We originally thought that our phone could not handle the game but now we realize that it is literally just as a game itself any other game that we play the game never crashes, but when we play this game, it crashes almost all the time but besides that it is a great game. Thank you for making this game the best accessible game that we have played.

Really enjoyed the game. So far. Except for one thing. We are playing it on our iPad. As well as our iPhone 14. When we try to save. To the cloud on The iPad.itKeeps giving us an error message. And will not save. To the cloud. Does anybody know a fix to this.

Growth is incredibly well done. The evolution is fantastic with equipment. We would love it even more if the devs put more effort into Easter eggs and narrative when you exit the dungeon. Great game, you should try it.

Is there a way that there sound effects could be a little better? We think itd be better especially for the weapons if we had a sound of like a sword/or sound of a magic spell would be cool enemy dies itd be cool to have a sound for each enemy that kills.

We are still having some of the same problems with this game that have been mentioned in reviews before. We created a profile, played as that character, then decided because our profile character did not have a name that we would create a new one. Now, our friends on game Center can only play with the old character of us, and not the new one. Also, we cannot find how to buy our friends as mercenarys. It was showing up, but now it doesnt anymore. Other than these issues, the game is amazing.

The game keeps crashing to the Home Screen and crashes voiceover and shutting our phone off :. We have an iPhone 14 pro.

The free version was great but changes to pay are bad make this not worth playing.

We cant use the minion feature because buffs arent working. The lite version was working but the paid version isnt.

Its ok an all but we were hoping it would be a bit different. Its repetitive, lacks things to do, lacks races and classes. It isnt copyright infringement to add these little twerks youve got your own monsters and equipment. You can add quest and such to make it more expansive. We like the game for what it is but would actually like to see some growth within it.

Are you still working on the game.

Hello, Im having trouble accessing the mercenary. Any chance still be an update to fix this.

The game is very good and accessible but, we were wondering, we're trying to have our friend play with us as a mercenary or he's trying to add us but it keeps saying no mercenary available. We were wondering how can we play with each other.

This is one of our all time favorite games. We will say, it could do with an update, but it is still very fun and could entertain you for hours.

This is by far the best accessible game we have found in quite a while. There are still things that could improve with regards to accessibility, but we are very comfortable with the games interface, so can't complain. We do have a very bizarre issue, though, which to the best of our knowledge, no one else has ever had. There seem to be some quirks pertaining to the mercenary guild. We tried to hire a friend, but it wasn't working. Foolishly, we deleted the app and re-download it. Since then, our character has shown as level 79 at the mercenary guild, and no matter what we do, this does not change. We've gone so far as starting a new character with a different name, re-creating the character with the name we want to play with, and nothing has changed it. We have deleted and re-downloaded the app several times, but no matter what, the level 79 character persists. Definitely not a huge deal in the grand scheme of life, but we wish our game center data was accurate. We contacted the developer, and he seemed willing to help, but so far, nothing has changed, so maybe it isn't fixable? We thought about deleting the app, waiting a couple of weeks, and then start over. We if that would solve the. This very minor and a,, though, we would very highly recommend this game.

We love Dungeons and Such! It's the perfect difficulty for us, and we love that it's accessible with VoiceOver. Thank you for making this game, and keep up the great work.

We love this game its very amazing and very addicting however whenever we go to the magic master it tells us that they have nothing more to teach us when we have certain spells that we have not learned yet other than this bug the game is amazing we will edit if we find any more and thank you very much we have found two more bugs to report whenever we try to wander the 40th floor it just says there are stairs leading to the next floor and whenever we are wearing the holy armor it does not apply the anti-confused we figured out the magic master problem but when we get hit with confuse our holy armor does not repel it and whenever we try to wander the 40th floor multiple times it will say there are stairs leading to the next floor but that is all it says if these bugs could be fixed that would be wonderful thank you very much.

Amazing game we have been playing for a few months and we are level 142 and have a dragon pet fishing is difinitely worth it but be sure to hit them with a weak weapon and watch their health with analys and then guard. Confusion is deadly get it and holy armor and your pretty good. But we think this is a glitch because when you get inferno you can't get any more spells please fix this. And give us raise dead! Please we hate trying to wait around and have our orc necromancer to cast it. Otherwise its pretty good.

We had originally rated this game a four star review due to a major issue in the lost Woods where you were not able to click on the jump into hole when a black hole appeared in front of the player with voiceover on. The developer has since fixed the issue, and we are able to play through the woods as much as we want without any issue. The only other minor thing that we would like to see a change in is being able to choose an option other than dropping into the hole. We would much rather continue grinding and gathering items and treasures in the woods then having to jump into the hole and land at a random point in the dungeon, just to use the Home stone to go back to the town, and then go back to the lost woods all over again. Again, this is a minor issue and not worth detracting a star from the review. Another very minor gripe we have is not being able to fit more dialogue from an MPC causing the player to have to double tap twice just to move to the next dialogue. We feel like there could be much more lines of dialogue in one screen, and for whatever reason VoiceOver users have to double tap on the line of dialogue, and then double tap again in order for the dialogue to actually move forward. Overall, we are very pleased with the game, and even more pleased with how quickly the developer addresses issues. Please keep it up developer, and we look forward to any future game endeavors you choose to embark upon. Just dont forget about us voice over users :-). Good luck to you.

Improvements only having to double tap once to go through dialogue more places to explore and fights maybe add classes jobs more races love the game.

This game is amazing, and we love that it is accessible. However, there are a few balancing issues that we feel need to be pointed out. First of all, there are points when you have a few enemies that could kill you by confusing you, or putting you to sleep. And then you have toothed worms, or enemies that you could kill in one shot Grouped up right alongside them. That, should be addressed. Secondly, fishing. Why does that even exist, if nine times out of 10 youre not going to catch anything? We personally think that should be fixed. Thirdly, and this is just a personal thing. We think the music when you are exploring the dungeon should be looped. Also we think the volume of the sound affects should be adjusted. As a voice over user, we find that the sound effects are too quiet. More specifically, the battle sound effects. Everything else is just fine. But other than that, it is an amazing game as Ive already stated.

Nothing bad to say here, if only we had voice actors with the characters and if possible have it where we could use the three finger swipe to turn the page to go to the next dialogue, other than that its perfect.

This game is great. Super fun and addicting. We love the variety of enemies and how you cant just immediately buy the highest level materials. We do have some criticisms though. First theres a problem where the voiceover prompts get cut off. Also theres a lag where if you get to a new level of the dungeon or you die it takes a while to process. Also in the lost woods when we get to the hole theres no option to go down the hole. Can you fix it? Also the home stone doesnt work in the woods which might be intentional.

Awesome game. Well worth the money. Lots to do and see.

Pretty cool game. Thanks for making the game accessible.

The developer responded back to us on our last review, so Im changing our review. Its a good game and it is a very addictive game. Ive played the entire game about 25 times. We like the dungeon fighting, the characters and the graphics and a bit of a story. The rest of the game is where we have some trouble with. Like hiring other people and things to fight with you. Why? And we also had a hard time trying to figure out how to make other people or things fight for us. Also the games seems too crowded, meaning you got pretty much a simple dungeon game and there is just too much other things in this game that we ourselves would just not put in.

Some bugs, can equip things u shouldnt be able to and when you do you can then store them in the bank and keep the benefits. Also cant seem to delete useless pets and the pets equipped glitches too.

Excellent game! Great for VI and sighted alike.

We will pay for more story lines and different dungeons. And hone upgrades. And tool enchantments and whatever. Love it.

Ive had since launch. This is one of the first games we ever got back when we had an ipod touch ive watched jt grow over the years. Unfortunately the only real issue still is a lack of content post main game. Throughout its many updates there just seems to be a lack of new things to do or new ways to approach the game. Id love to see new weapons of armor maybe some new spells. Perhaps new places to see. With the stones already as a mean to teleport to a certain levels of the dungeon and even home why not be able to find or buy expensive stones that bring you somewhere new. Perhaps finding new ways to grow the community by making it easier to get players to join your team from the pub based on how active a player is.There is clearly a lot of passion that has gone into making this game and it holds a special place in our heart. We as well as many other fans both old and new would be excited to see the next big chapter in this game.

This is one of the first games we ever got super into on our first iPod and we have always loved it. Recently got back into it and we still love the game but theres a couple things that slightly get to us. When an enemy uses a spell to confuse you its just over. They confuse you for 7 turns and they have all those turns to just perma confuse you. Theres no way to prevent it without just being tanky enough to wait for the rng to not keep confusing you or to try and kill the enemy that may confuse immediately. That is doable but what happens if there are two enemies that can confuse you. Like we love the game still but that will get to us. Also sometimes when reading an item description it copies all the text and doubles it slightly below the original text making it hard to read. Update we are currently confused for the next 50 turns. Our point exactly. And theres only one enemy who can use confuse. Bruh we didnt see the enemy that can confuse at first so we didnt kill it first turn and now Im confused for 99 turns. Balanced Another thing. We have two power rings. One gives plus 5 strength and the other plus 4 strength. The one that gives plus 5 only sells for 150 and the one that gives plus 4 sells for 405. Interesting business concept.

We originally gave this 1 star bc of a glitch we had that took away our items, but upon contacting the developer, he took care of everything for us and even gave us 2000 gold for the trouble. He was a gentleman and made sure that our gaming experience would be good even though we had hit a bump in the road, and handled the problem quickly, effectively, and nicely. Couldnt say enough good things about both the game and the developer, ill be playing for a long time to come.

Edit: after the first play through it is a little easier to catch monsters, up to 12. There are 60 fun levels and loads of monster fighting. Some female monsters would be a neat look. Like a female human thief or orc warrior. We switched our star rating. We have put enough hours in this game that our rating had to change up or down. We chose up since we still plan to put a lot more time in this game. Really enjoying this game. Curious though since we havent reached dungeon lvl 100, does the game end there or does it continue? Our only issue is how hard it is to catch monsters. They either just look at our line or escape when they bite it which rarely happens. Is there a way to make catching monsters easier.

We thought we wrote a review for this already but we cant remember if we did, so here it is Buy this game..you wont regret it Absolutely radiates pure raw emotion for our love of this game.

We like this game. We have a question, though: when do monsters level up? Ive seen them overflow the exp counter multiple times.

Ive been playing this game since around the time it came out, and its one of our all-time favorite mobile games. Its the ideal RPG for us. Also, the developers dedication is seriously impressive. We reported a bug and it was fixed within a couple days. Thank you developer.

Been playing this game forever. Always loved always will. The new widget feature works great. We can see our stats ,equipped items , progress and inventory at a glance. We just tap the widget and instantly Im in the game. The widget does NOT cause battery drain. Also, consider that very few Developers continue to support there game with the love and dedication that this one does. Put it all together and it is just AWESOME.

Wish we could find this sword again! Fun game to pass the time.
