Description
Dungeons of Chaos is a retro-style 2D RPG that takes you on an epic journey with numerous spells, skills and tactical combat to employ in order to win the battle against evil. Huge locations to explore (both unique and randomised). Totally ad-free. >20000 sold so far for both major OS together, and 4.8 star rating and a very engaged fanbase on our facebook page, where I discuss frequent updates and additions.
Favourite fan quote to date (Kristian Borcheck): "If you were a fan of Ultima 3,4,5 or games of that ilk then this game will feel like coming home"

Ratings and Reviews
Worth it
I’ve never written a review for a game before but this one is worth it. The game took a little time to get used to and at first it was easy to feel lost with no clear direction to go in to advance story lines or quests. I’ll admit that I stopped playing for a bit because it was rather frustrating. However once you get past that learning curve the game really does take off with so much to do. The character building is detailed and very customizable which makes you feel like you’re in control of how you want to play rather than simply getting more powerful with each new level gained. The leveling of your character ties directly into the battle mechanics as well so even fighting can feel different if you focus on different skills with a new party. Also the fact that there are no in-app purchases or ads is amazing. Nothing kills a game for me like a pop up every so often interrupting the gameplay. Great game I definitely recommend it if you don’t mind taking a little extra time to learn the mechanics at first.
Pleasantly Surprised
As a classic Final Fantasy fan, I really was on the search for a classic rpg style game that didn’t try to bleed you dry of every penny you have…. This game is just perfect, exactly what the doctor ordered. Its fun, you can play through it multiple times, plenty of treasure to find, and a one time fee to own the game and play it whenever rather than being charged for more features later. The mechanics of the game take a little getting used to, as it isn’t a normal turn based fighting style. It’s a combination of that and actually moving around. Once you get used to it, then you really can start having fun with it by choosing new classes. I would absolutely recommend any classic rpg fan to buy this game. It’s well worth the couple bucks
Nice little gem
This game has a lot of love put into it, and you can tell the developer put a lot of effort. For the amount of replayability, this game is a bargain. It isn’t graphically the most advanced, and there are huge spikes in combat difficulty at certain parts that will catch you off guard, but it is worth it. You can save scum to try and get the best loot. You can choose to grind and grind to raise skills / spells (will take short of forever for skills that are usable only a few times a day). Or you can spend your talent points on them to get a quick boost to your combat power at the expense of saving points to boost your stats or learning new skills / spells (need to find trainers or spell books). There is a LOT of functions that you can do. Combat is probably the weakest point (why can a monk only use a cestus but not knuckles?). Would be nice to put talents into HP and SP as well if desired. Would be nice to have obstacles in combat. Seeing projected turn order easily would also be nice. Overall a solid B+, and amazing that just one person put it together.
