Dungeon Drafters - Prototype

That was awesome! That was one of the best games I have played on itch.io! I love how the enemy design and spells play off of each other and comboing spells feels so badass. I think the core gameplay loop is already really strong, and I can hardly think of a way to improve it. Although I think the engage mechanic and the way in which you regain spells sort of encourages you to exit and reengage or just walk back in forth during combat to regain spells. Other than that I really just wanted more! I'm so excited for new updates. Good luck!

the trap and the transporter cards are real interesting when paired with everything :) 

This was really cool, and I hope it continues to go well!  Couple things: the large groups of enemies were pretty dang hard, but maybe that's just my not being used to games where I can't just indiscriminately slaughter everything in the first dungeon.  Also Floralize seems a bit glitchy- one time it got stuck until I alt-tabbed in and out of the window, and sometimes the animation just didn't quite go off right.  Good work though!

I really enjoyed the game, but when I beat it the screen that came up would not close or anything. I had to ctrl+alt+del to get out of it. Other than that I was a little disappointed to have nothing to spend my gold on.

pls add cheats! it's fun but i always die so it needs cheats.

This is one of the coolest games that Iv'e played on itch.io! It would be cool to see some hand management (think Dungeon Mayhem) and deck builder mechanics (Like Star Realms) like in card games.  I like that you can chain abilities and the versatility of some abilities like relocate.

Glad I tried DD, it's a really cool concept and has potential I think. Moar please. :)

Quite a promising gem, i really like how the combat feel! Is it possible to start/switch the game in a windowed mode ? Also Is there a way to access any kind of option/menu ?(sound mostly as it is quite loud)

Decided to play your game and had a good time. Here's the result XD

I thought this was an awesome game. Granted I didn't get to far in the dungeon but I thought it was great. I played this for my Indie Game Showcase that I do.

Here is the gameplay highlight of the game.

please dont read this if you dont have played the game yet.....your game is really good but i found a few things that maked this game a hell of a lot to easy in my opinion 1. you can go in a combat zone draw a full hand leave instantly and you got a full hand use all fireballs on enemys that cant spot you from the distance until they are dead 2. you can combine trap plus relocate to get youself a minion spawner ghost this gives you a square of protection around you and it fights for you  combine this with the first trick and you got permanent 2 relocate and 2 traps if u want to 3. if you use the stone card at an enemy that is at a wall it grants you an insta kill for all enemies except the 4 health slimes 4. i dont know if this was intentional but you kill with the lightning as many enemies as you want say like 4 enemys in a row gets killed by your lightning spell and after it i just press right click and you got 3 turns left so i can use my poison cards to finish the round  ... but still i think your game is great i hopr there is more coming in the future 

Great game, glad I found this!

I have a few glitches. One, the tourtured souls pick a random spot every time to summon a minion, and if there is something there, the animation spins in circles off the screen. Also, most animations  are a bit to slow. Maybe speed them up? Or is that because of the slow running speed?

Awsome job, the game looks and plays amazing, the concept is great, and as a lover of card games and dungeon crawler games alike i fell in love with this game.

Unfortunatly the Ai kinda froze on me a couple of times, it got to the enemies turn and they would just stand there making me unable to do anything, forcing me to quit the game, this wouldnt be soo bad if i could pause the game, save, and reload, but or im too dumb to find the save button or the pause menu for that matter, or for now the game is yet to gain that feature.

But im fully aware that the game is not yet finished and any bugs and problems that the game may face can be and will be resolved in due time.

I cant wait to see this game grow as new features, cards are implemented and worked upon.

I agree in what some people previously said, that some cards could have been better explained, and that it could be a great if there could in the future be diferent characters with diferent skills, one game that does that very well is "Slay the Spire", but i do believe you will want to focus on the core gameplay before even thinking about this extra features.

In another note i found it kinda hard to regain health, the only way that i found being the appropriate spell and in a way it ads to the dificulty, and i totally understand if it was a desing decision and not a problem,  still maybe when you entered the portal to go to the tavern you could pay the keeper to restore health, or maybe some rarer drops could restore a couple of hit points, or maybe some of those features were already implemented and i was just not lucky enought to find them.

As for now the game is already preaty awsome and i hope it has as much of a bright future as games like the "Bindig of Isaac" and "Enter the Gungeon" did, and be sure that when the finished game finally releases i am going to buy it as soon as possible.

Keep up the awsome work fellas, your doing great.

The game looks and plays awesome. Can't wait to see more cards, and maybe some more dungeon tile sets. Only hassle I had was with the entanglement card; it was unclear from the card text when the damage happened (might just be because I'm an idiot). Would also be cool if there was alternate characters who have different hand sizes,  draw rates, and melee damage that you unlock as you play. Overall can't wait for the full version.

Nice art style and interesting combat strategies

I LOVE IT!  :D

I Love The Game,It's Really Pretty.

a really nice game

Incredible game, really very good, challenging, fun and very well done. Congratulations to the entire Dungeon Drafters team.

I played your game for an indie romp and gotta say that I just loved the concept. rouge like deck building dungeon crawler was not a genre I thought I needed! I can't wait for the finished game. Not sure if I just suck or if the game is very challenging but I've yet to get to the end

Can there be a skip turn button?

Hi I just downloaded this game! I am loving it but I have encountered a bug,(my knolledge of this game is very low and Im still a newbie) one of those mini acid slime throwing mobs threw an acid slime and it went away out of the screen spining raidly, and now I am softlocked

Three words 

I absolutely love this game. It runs smoothly, has fun mechanics, and fantastic replayability. The graphics are appealing and the music is good (just a little fast). Honestly this is my new favorite card game. The reengage system was fun and useful. Combat felt fluid and  never was a chore since every encounter was somehow different.

I can't wait for future updates and am really exited for whats to come. I am particularity interested in how the currency system will work (the fun little orange diamonds).

The only thing I'm wondering is: will there eventually be a healing system/item?

So, even though it's still in development i'd give this game a 9/10.

Keep up the good work Lucas

This is a pretty good game and I really enjoyed it.

I loved the card game setup mixed with roguelike combat, I loved how some cards could chain into one another (like the one that allows you to teleport yourself or another unit to another tile within range and the spell that allowed to turn enemies into allies), I like how some cards allowed you to reposition yourself while also allowing you to attack within the same turn, and I liked how the card setup worked out, where you could cast multiple spells in one turn if you had the action points to spend for it.

The only problems I noticed was one glitch where the caster enemy tried to make an ally slime for me and the purple ball thing just jittered across the screen (and sometimes offscreen as well) until I decided to close the game and I felt as though the enemy A.I. was a bit too passive (but also recognize that it could just be the fact that they're starting level enemies rather than enemies that are designed to be aggressive from the oneset).

Overall, pretty good game, I love the concept, and I can't wait to see what more you add to it later on.

Nice game, but i had some problems with the frogs and the thougth slave spell, mainly because the poison that my ally left didn't deal any damage to the enemies but still dealt damage to me and i couldn't do anything about it, and it looked lije he was targeting me when he was attacking with the poison . So i couldn't kill him nor do anything about his poison wich ended up killing me .

nice idea! could use an option to speed up the enemy turn :)

It's gorgeous and the gameplay has so much potential. I'm excited to play the full release! If I could only make one suggestion (and it for all I know this might only be the case because I played a demo) but I died pretty quickly during my first encounter because of the swarm of enemies. In the full game, I'm hoping the difficulty ramps up more gradually, or maybe it would help so that all enemies in the mob have a chance of performing an action rather than all of them doing so.

Anyway, LOVED IT, and I'll be keeping a close eye on it!

looks amazing, is there any way this might be available on Mac one day

I really loved the pixel art

nice work

Superb job!
Nice gameplay, Great atmosphere and unique concept, the only thing that isn't that great is the content;
-Few unique enemies per Area (The same guy appear over and over).
-Some songs are too short (they loop too fast).
-Few or none options.

I know it's only an early build so it's understandable so instead of this being a critique it's more of a suggestion:
A button to view the log.
That after battle if u end up with 2 or more Allied units that it let you choose which one to keep.
A button or something that let's you pass turn without moving or end turn.

But besides that and that time i got soft-blocked using Stalagmite.
Overall fun and enjoyable game i will definitely keep an eye for future updates.
