This is Gamer Guy (In a Suit) from the Echo Army YouTube channel! Today I am bringing you a review of a neat little Strategy/Adventure game The Living Dungeon. The Living Dungeon was released on November 2, 2015 by Publisher/Developer Radiation Burn. (NOTE: This was a review from a game in my own Steam library, it was NOT provided by the Developer and/or Publisher) The "Too Long, Didn't Watch" Review: Great Turn-Based, Board Game style adventure. Solo is above average, Multiplayer is the real plus. Online Multiplayer would bump it up much higher. As is, 3/5. Worth roughly $15. The "Meat & Potatoes" Review: The Living Dungeon is an interesting adventure/strategy game with some even more interesting mechanics. The gameplay plays out like a tabletop board game. You roll your dice (5 each turn) and take your actions according to the dice rolls and the current layout of the board (this is where the strategy comes in). The Solo campaign is actually good. The action is fun, the game is fairly easy to pick up. The graphics are solid as well. It should be noted, however, that the camera is an absolute nuisance in this game. It IS adujstable, which saves it entirely. It will still frustrate you by constantly resetting every round, though. The voice acting is even solid. I don't recall skipping any cut-scenes (unless I had seen them before). The best feature of this game is the Multiplayer. Unfortunately, it is also the feature that is holding this title back the most. THe only way to play with friends is, sadly, locally (see note below*). Now, do NOT let this deter you. With the Steam Machines, Steam Controller/Big Picture, etc all in full swing now, playing this in the living room at a party is actually pretty easy to do. Like a board game without the mess that is incredibly easy for most to pick up. But man...this game would be an absolute SMASH if it were to incorporate two things: Online Multiplayer & Steam Workshop. If it did that, the game would explode in popularity. I guarantee it. As is, you're still left with a solid game with your $15+. 3/5 with potential to be higher with the aforementioned adjustment. (* From Steam Page: "IMPORTANT NOTE: This game is currently LOCAL MULTIPALYER ONLY , using a Hot Seat system. Networking will hopefully be added in a near future update but we do not want to mis-sell the game as there has been some confusion. We're sure most of you will love the game, but it is currently local multiplayer, and a 30hr single player story") Happy Gaming!!!
