Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is a neat remake of a tried and true dungeon crawling roguelike where you complete small dungeons by creating a character with a race, class, and gear, then explore a small grid of treasures, monsters and traps. The whole thing is a bit of a puzzle because you only regenerate when discovering new tiles, enemies have set levels and it’s much more inneficient to fight really strong foes, and you have limited resources to use overall. I had an okay time, but it was too simple and didn’t engage me enough to keep playing it.
It’s the kind of small game from another age that got tweaked and refined, I’m sure it has its fans (and you should check it out if you enjoy bite-sized dungeon crawlers) but this is not my cup of tea, the loop is a bit too simple and the trappings didn’t grab my attention. Oh well!
