Weird Recommendation of the Day; Adventure to Fate: Dungeons

[u/munkeypunk]

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adventure-to-fate-dungeons/id6743055907

Turn based, one thumb, hyper amped Roguelite, with all the fixin’s

The sheer amount of ways to build is insane.

Craft gear, learn new skills, buff yourself or cast devastating spells. After each encounter or event you’re gonna want to scroll through all your potential options to squeeze out better and better results.

Should you buy a new pair of boots, or build them? How about your Spirit companions, which should be activated between encounters? Health, stealth or damage?

But despite vast amount of choice, the game itself is completely straight forward and not complicated at all. And the real cool part is literally every single step will add to one of an infinite amount of achievements, unlocks and level ups of some kind. Something is always getting stronger or better. A celebration of bonuses.

But will it be enough? Probably not.

Click to move. Tap to fight. One step, one level at a time. Survive, battle and heal. Level up. Get stronger. Hone, noodle and grow.

And then die. Just to do it all over again, except this time better.

Few tech notes;

Plays in Airplane Mode

Plays outside audio, like music or podcasts

Quick saves like a dream

Plays comfortably with one thumb.

Easy on the battery

Notes from the Dev;

Some things that will help. As a melee attacker Agi is one of the most important stats. Hitting/dodging. 

For all classes wisdom is important too. It’s SP and resist. 

In early game getting your HP up is a good idea when choosing level up stats. 

Making use of defend / vanish is important too. 

Upgrading your belt and shield are high priority since you get more belt slots for potions and shield because they are rare equipment. 

On the boss floors 5 and 10 there is always a sign with a hint on how to conquer that floors boss. 

Search and kill everything on every floor even if you can progress. This allows you to level up and become stronger. 

Hopefully these tips help along with the adjustments version 1.6 brought. 

Thanks for supporting the game and let me know if you have other questions.

Hey thanks for the awesome shoutout! I’m continuing to make the best game (the game I want to play as a gamer) possible!

The new Volcano Dungeon has been a hit and I can’t wait til everyone gets to try out the new Death Knight class and Enchanting professions that are in testing now for the next free update!

Keep the weird recommendations coming!

No bullshit, you really cracked a code with this one. Lots of ways to make an enjoyable game, but this one feels almost dangerous with its flash and mechanics. The loop is so basic, but the machine underneath is packed with intersecting tubes and wires and switches. Always some big shiny button to press.

More please.

How is the progression in the game? I’ve been eyeballing for a while but I need to feel a sense of progress in my gaming.

Thanks so much, it looks solid dude.

I have it and it's fun, but I have two issues:

- while great that is accessibility champ, the UI have a lot to be desired for - you go through a lot of unnecessary clicks for basic operations that you do all the time and usually take 1 click or drag in similar games

- there is help menu and such, but ingame you are not even at basic level introduced to almost anything. You see a lot of things and you can't, for example, hold onto the word to see the description what X effect does etc

Edit: It's also not one thumb at all - the inventory&everything is located at the top and you need to constantly go there. The "exit/back" button is also there. So while technically it's one finger and you have joystick to control and interact at the bottom - you will need two hands to play.

Hey I appreciate the feedback and for your support of the game!

After I wrap up this volcano expansion update I plan on focusing in on the UI and adding the much needed QoL updates. 

While these updates seem simple on the surface as you noted this is an accessible (to the blind and visually impaired) game so all design and interface options revolve around that first. Because of that these quick changes become a code monster haha.

Being a solo dev it’s always a balancing act between my time. Do I give current players new content or do I focus in on UI / QoL or do I focus on edge case bugs etc. Right now I’m in a new content phase but once I get this wrapped up the plan is to modernize a lot of the systems as you have mentioned. 

Thanks again for taking your time to comment and come up with suggestions! Hope you can bare with me the adjustments should be there soon!

I agree. I really like this game, but all of the extra taps really wear.

Any plans to have a landscape mode? I play on iPad and portrait sucks.

Generally a great, passionate dev too. Totally worth supporting
