Crossword Dungeon App Reviews

This version fixed a number of issues, added iPad support (no need to purchase again if you bought the iPhone version), and added a ton of words!

Please add a shop to buy potions, or anything to gain HP back when lost. Moving to the next tile and being attacked at the beginning of the turn isnt really fair because Ive died before completing words and not guessed any of the letters wrong; makes playing not very fun.

Fun game, but still needs work. Definitely needs way more words, as the guy before me mentioned some sort of potion shop would be nice, and upon my first app exit, my current quest completely bugged out and forced me to wipe my progress (Said I was in dungeon 1 and there was no map or questions). Has potential.

The premise of the game is quite fun. The problem is that due to way to many first strike monsters you cant be anyone but the barbarian. Also zero explanation of the things so I still have no idea what a gore attack is.

Optimizing your way through this dungeon crawler is a lot of fun. :) my current favourite build is a scoundrel, maxing out intelligence points early on for quick levelling.

A fun and addictive little crawler, but its not without its flaws. Some errors in both fact and spelling and a few blank clues put a damper on the fun. Youll know the answer to every clue after two or three playthroughs. But this is a very early build (1.0), so lets hope these issues get rectified. If the phrase "crossword dungeon" sounds interesting to you, youll enjoy the game.

Not bad. Moving through the maze is a bit of a slog, and despite all the RPG trimmings, I dont feel like Im doing battle or "on a quest"; Im just solving crosswords, one square at a time.

On the first impact it seems like its an RPG/puzzle crossover. But after playing it for a while I cant say so. Role playing mechanics felt very blurry and like they arent even there. Great puzzle game tho

But Stanley Kubrick directed 2001, not Ridley Scott.

I would give 5 stars but some of the words or a lot are misspelled, 5 so fare.

Worth 99 cents not 1.99

I like the rpg setup with the crosswords. You explore the letters one at a time and sometimes have to spell things backwards while you battle monsters with correct letters in the crossword spaces. The abilities with some letters are pretty cool too.

Very cool idea and overall a fun game to play! Adds strategy elements to the classic puzzle game. Havent seen the spelling errors others mentioned. The biggest problem Ive had is that the game cant be continued after a certain (seemingly random) point. When I resume, my characters data remains intact but the level he was on has been corrupted somehow. The clues repeat after awhile, and theyre not terribly difficult to begin with. Id rate 4 stars with the continue problem fixed and 5 with harder/more clues added.

This is the way portable gaming must go, with fresh new ideas like this nobody is gonna get bored anytime soon. This game has it all crosswords in a rogue like environment with supercool rpg elements! Cant put it away, plus the Dev is planning lots of updates and its going universal soon!

Cool idea for a game. Had fun playing it and found myself wanting to keep playing even after game over. Thats a good sign coming from me. Havent run into the bugs/crashes others have experienced but Im sure they will be addressed quickly. I think Ill actually invest in a mac and finally develop an app of my own. Keep up the good work!

Super repetitive. Appears much more deep than it actually is. This is little more than a crossword puzzle. Also many of the clues are flat out wrong. Ridley Scott was NOT the director of 2001, Kubrick was. Much room for improvement.

But the bugs are a tad frustrating. Anywhere from not progressing to the next dungeon, save file becoming corrupted, and sometimes a class upgrades not working. Even with these issues I still continue to play it and load up a new character, good job guys!

The basic idea is absolutely great, but there are some major problems. When replaying dungeons there needs to be different words every time. This seems like a pretty simple implementation. Also Ive had repeated problems with crashing. Finally, there needs to be some sort of tutorial to teach the player whats going on. I really think all of these things can be fixed fairly easily but right now they are holding back the game from being a true breakthrough hit.

Cool concept but released before it was ready. The game doesnt really flow, documentation is horrible to non existent, abilities are often poorly thought out or useless and there arent that many possible crossword clues so you will constantly encounter the same ones. With a few more months of work this could have been a classic, but as it is, I would stay away from it.

Great concept! As a young game designer I applaud you. However, I would recommend tons of new words, new monsters, and a few more classes as well (Valkyrie, knight, paladin, sorcerer), also maybe upgradable items as well. I know this is a lot to ask but I would like to see these implemented over time! Thanks for your time and great job! Please pass this on fellow consumers so that it shall be heard across the land! Jk
