This truly is one of the games of all time. I have no words.

Gameplay loop is the same after a thousand hours or so, but I think there's a different problem that needs addressing if you get to that point.

(Read near the end, I have some tips that'll definitely help you out early and further on into the end-game.

A surprisingly interesting idle game that incorporates auto-battler and RPG elements to create a pretty addicting gameplay loop. Well created 2D sprites and environments give the game a cozy and nostalgic feel, as well as a simple crafting and upgrade system to progress further and further into the dungeon.

Set up a group of characters, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and abilities to clear floors of enemies. Every enemy drops gold used for upgrading and purchases, some enemies drop essence which allows you to upgrade relics that give boosts to the whole party, and some enemies even drop loot. Each floor you clear has a chance to present you with portals, one of which requires a dungeon key, that can warp you a few floors forward, grant access to a mineshaft to gather ore, gather an extra chest of treasure. Every 5 levels you fight an mini-"boss" which gives you a selection of loot (unless you have a rogue, you get all the loot), and every 100 will have you fight an actual boss.

Up until you complete the 10th dimension dungeon, you will have to reset your progress every 100 levels, losing all gear, sodas (characters), and most of your resources. Any relic upgrades, tavern upgrades and essence will be kept between resets. However, once you've completed the 10th level, you will enter a permanent run where you no longer have to reset and will keep all your drops, loot, upgrades, etc. From then on forward, you're goal is to infinitely traverse through the dungeon while upgrading to get further.

Overall, the game is quite different to a lot of the idle games I've played before, and if you're a fan of slowly upgrading and getting incrementally stronger after each dungeon dive, you'll definitely enjoy this game. Not only is it free, but it has a fair amount of content to keep you busy.

Now, I have some tips to help new (and possibly old) players.

-If you have a few extra dollars laying around, get the speed boost. It doubles the speed of the fights and makes progress many times quicker. The game definitely deserves the support and have absolutely no regrets buying it.

-Nurses are absolutely goated, get them in your party ASAP and level them up because they eventually learn a group heal that will make your party last longer.

-The Huntress is also incredibly useful, in which every enemy she kills grants a stack of damage which pertains between resets and stacks infinitely up to 1,000. Start using her early and when you reach later into the game, she will be doing bajillions of damage to all the regular monsters and mini-bosses. Four huntresses, a rogue and a nurse became my go-to squad and their sodas are cheap to obtain. Start them at the first level of the dungeon and run through it a few times and you'll see the damage increase.

-Refrain from crafting anything resource demanding such as the legendary weapons til you complete the 10th dimension, otherwise you'll just lose it after resets and lose the resources.

Beyond that, thanks for reading. Definitely give the game a try and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

used to play this on my ipod touch

Will get boring after couple weeks but good till then. If you're persistent on completing games this one I reckon would take 6 months. Very fun at the start before WD (end of the 10 dimensions) and little fun throughout till 100k floor.

start off in a town, force soft drinks down peoples throats until they agree to go on a magical quest with you, fight the evil dungeon boss that destroyed your village, kill him..
NAH JK SEE YA LATER LOSER.
he teleports, you teleport.
hold up this place looks familiar.
rinse and repeat.

10 sodas / 10 fizzys
