In terms of criticisms the first and foremost would be that even quite a number of runs in there were elements of the game I didn’t understand completely. There are orbs you can pick up, and if you find a portal you can get quite a few of them, but I wasn’t ever entirely clear what they were for. The game has a rudimentary mini-map, and you’ll likely find you’ll need it, but since it is centered on the screen it obscures your view, having it perhaps a little smaller and offset would have made it far more useful. I also wish I was able to better understand the attack range of monsters as well as your own melee attack. Moving in for a hit and then backing off tended to work but in general the animations are clumsy enough that it is unclear when you’re going to connect and with monsters you have no real visual indication whatsoever. Overall One More Dungeon is an interesting take on how to make a roguelike dungeon crawler that has a look and feel all its own. I appreciate what it is trying to do, and some aspects of the design were unexpected. Unfortunately as a whole there are also elements that feel unrefined and not necessarily complete. With a patch or two I think it could still have room for improvement but as it is I’d say it is likely an acquired taste, even for roguelike fans.
