A Note On... Drafting Cards in the Dungeon

Dungeon Drafters is a roguelite deckbuilding game by Manalith Studios! Explore the dungeons, grab boosters, and defeat bosses!

Let me say this outright, the game is absolutely gorgeous. Very, very pretty. Plus the option to change the palette to be absolutely blinding is actually great (and funny) if your eyes can handle it and it's a fun little nostalgic tidbit.

One cool point I found out is that the character you choose at the beginning is pretty much cosmetic since you can equipment any deck loadout, but you unfortunately can't change it later on which is a small loss.

The mechanics themselves remind me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (without the 8-directional movement), Into the Breach, and [Slay the Spire] all mixed together.

So another little disclaimer that while I'm writing this, I've obviously not experienced everything this game has to offer. I've only ever used the starting cards for the red-haired magic girl, as well as other raider cards and the traveller cards.

And I learned from a handful of runs that both movement and *card synergy* is wildly important to have a successful run. Traveller cards are good in both since they offer a lot of extra moves and movement abilities and that pairs well with the raider's attack cards.

The issue is that some builds are going to be way stronger than others and a handful won't even be viable. And because the dungeons of the game are so long, it becomes a real challenge to be able to survive 4+ floors to beat the game,especially since there's no way to empower yourself during the run. What you have is what you get, so to say.

Which, in my opinion, is both good and bad. Good in the sense that challenge is good. It forces you to strategize in both preparation and execution. The right synergies and the right in-combat decisions to help you succeed. Bad in the sense it becomes incredibly hard to actually finish the game (part of why I'm writing the review before I do finish my time the game). And honestly, many roguelites suffer from that problem anyways (where runs are too long compared to your ability to get stronger).

I'm not quite done with my time in the game. At some point I wanna try a turtling/healing build as well as a build where you get a ton of minions/summons. I also want to *attempt* to do the last dungeon, but I have high doubts I'll be able to actually complete it.

Dungeon Drafters is a really cool mix of dungeon exploration and deck building.

As always,

Enjoy gaming!
