This small, stupid, free game is actually pretty fun.

Think of a roguelike like Risk of Rain 2, and instead of always running around fighting monsters, sometimes you need to take a break to quickly gather materials, build a house and workbenches, and properly equip yourself in order to fight better and get more coins to engage more with the random buffs from chests, which help both with combat and the actual resource maintenance.

It keeps you busy and engaged, and it's really kinda fun. It's no gold star but it's free and you should try it. It downloaded so fast that I accidentally double clicked Install and it launched the game.

A fun little arena game.

I AM THE WRITER OF THIS GREAT REVIEW!

I'LL BE TAKING THE REST OF THE DAY OFF NOW!

I left twenty five pages of constructive feedback, based both on industry and personal experience, and was banned from the Steam forums and League of Maidens Game Hub for it.

No proper reason was given, and there was no communication.

Two days later in their Discord, after others had showed support for my feedback, and disdain that it was not only deleted but also led to a forum ban, I was banned from the Discord server, without even reposting the feedback and without even saying anything against the devs, and any conversation around it was completely deleted.

No proper reason was given, and there was no communication.

While discussing what had happened with others I frequently spoke with in game, just trying to make sense of it, and letting people know what had happened, I was suddenly unable to send chat messages at all and I was effectively chat banned.

No proper reason was given, and there was no communication.

The lead developer for this game is exceedingly toxic. The hate he has for users' feedback is long and storied, and I didn't know that before submitting my own. There are tales of his ban waves during closed alpha, where he'd shut down random people and youtubers alike indiscriminately, all for "criticizing" his game. It didn't matter that my intent was purely to be helpful. It didn't matter that my feedback wasn't just "this is bad", but instead "here is how you can improve this and ALSO get more money out of it". None of that mattered to him. He took personal offense to "criticism" of his game and lashed out as much as he could in every avenue available to him.

The issues with the game are apparent. While the gameplay is good, everything on top of it needs a GREAT deal of work, from UX/UI, to how the game is monetized and player customization, to just how enemies try and fight you. It's barely even a framework right now.

But if players are being banned JUST for leaving feedback, there is no hope for the future of this game.

Try the game out, see if you like it. Why not, it's free. But don't spend a single dime on this product. The very second you speak up about something, expect to be struck down. It doesn't matter how much you spend on it as plenty can attest to now, how much you've supported the game with your words and actions prior.

The fact you spoke up is an "unforgivable crime" here.



Please note that due to my Game Hub ban, I am unable to reply to comments. I no longer have the document and have washed my hands of this ordeal. There is a ControlC I created of it a while back possibly floating around in the community still, but be wary of asking for it.

There are no directions on how to obtain these items.

I'm not sure, but they also might not be cosmetic items.

The short version is: This game is fun, it is one of the best cooperative games I've played.

DRG takes the L4D formula and gives it a good shake, changing it to a four player cooperative objective based class/hero shooter with many side objectives along the way, and a large focus on unique locales and traversal around them, especially digging.

With four players, four different classes, all coordinating together with their different tools and weapons to blaze a path through the underground and swarms of bugs of this alien world, there's no other way to describe it beyond a deep satisfaction of getting a job so well done.

I played this game about eight years ago now. Eight years later, this game still crosses my mind, in large part to the style and music that keep it relevant to me. That I never left a review feels criminal at this point.

I came back to replay it recently, and it's as good as I remembered. While it is stiff in movement, everything else is on point. Fun level design, creative visuals, a fun plot, and the ending is even satisfying. The only thing I genuinely think bad about this game is we never got a sequel to it.

It's one of those games that just feels good to play, and it really makes you work to get that 100% clear as well.

While it's very short and not at all difficult, it makes fantastic use of imagery and audio to make it a very moving experience that, by the end of it, you might draw a heart in the sand for the person you just bumped into and won't ever see again.

Truly a fun, engaging, and beautiful game with inventive characters and designs. In every way, I had an absolute blast with this. And customization of your own character, while not massive, is still an incredibly nice touch. Really makes even just hanging out in game fun.
