4.0/5

Although roguelikes are not for everyone, they certainly have a certain appeal if you are the type who likes a challenge. Most roguelikes also feature the permadeath mechanic, which means that there are no quick loads to get you out of trouble when things get tough. However, as with all other RPGs, the focus is on the story and the gear you can find along the way, because shiny swords are hard to resist.

Pixel Stories of Dungeon is a top-down, retro RPG with roguelike mechanics, in which you play the role of a young man as he prepares to become his city’s most acclaimed hero. The game is anything but short, on the other hand, since you have to explore hundreds of dungeons in order to get to the end. Not only that, but there are many side quests to undertake as well, depending on whether you are completionist or not.

Your character’s main goal is to defeat the current champion of the city, but in order to challenge him, you must first defeat all the dungeon bosses. There are four different classes to choose from as well, depending on your play style and preference. On top of that, the full game promises eight unique bosses, so there is plenty of action coming our way in terms of combat.

As mentioned before, no RPG is complete without a proper loot table, and Pixel Stories of Dungeon features hundreds of items for you to collect and equip. They get better and stronger later on in the game, so at no point should you feel like your efforts are not rewarded properly. You can also acquire pets and customize them, although that is but a promised feature at this point.

The interface is taken straight from the classics of the genre, so it should be easy to get into the action if you are familiar with top-down RPGs already. Not much can be said about the graphics yet, but the colorful environments are pretty nice, even if the maps feel rather repetitive at this point. The controls are simple and to the point, even if you have to juggle multiple skills at once.

All things considered, Pixel Stories of Dungeon might just turn out to be a very enjoyable dungeon crawler, at least if the experience as a whole does not get too repetitive as you progress. Thus, it’s always nice to see a retro roguelike going back to the roots of the genre.
