ASDAD: All-Stars Dungeons and Diamonds

This is a tentative recommendation. Whether or not this is worth buying completely depends on whether you have someone entertaining to play with, which is true of a lot of local co-op games, but even more so with this one, because mechanically it's too simple and repetitive to enjoy playing just for the sake of the gameplay. The real pleasure comes from the trashtalk as powerups are deployed - think Mario Kart, but instead of racing gokarts you're collecting jewels in a maze using Pac-Man's controls. There is a single-player option, even though it's not listed under the game's features, but it's an exercise in frustration as the AI controlled character is able to operate flawlessly, and doesn't get thrown off by things like the control-altering confusion effect in the way a human player would. For practicing purposes, you're better off playing a co-op game solo, as it's easier to get a handle on the controls and learn what all the powerups do without the stress of the computer using powerups against you. There are some games meant for co-op that can still be fun solo, like Nidhogg, but this is not one of those games. For a lot of people, this will be a turn off, especially since it's local co-op only, but it's also a lovingly crafted game with cute visuals, nice music, and responsive controls. I think it's exactly the game the developer wanted to make, and for that I have to give it the thumbs up.

This game is intended to be played with your friend locally because it's a competitive Player vs Player game. Too bad this game doesn't support online multiplayer, that makes me play this game with CPU opponent. I really hope they will implement the online co-op soon. Overall it's a neat game.

This is a pixel/retro game that attempts a competitive Pac-Man style maze action/arcade experience. It's split screen, which is a novelty for PC - not to say that the PC is not capable of split screen, rather that split screen is the kind of measure that you don't bother with if you have any other option, much like sharing needles is the last resort for junkies. So, the developers have made some very interesting (read: lazy) choices when designing this game. Graphics: Terrible. Points for working in full screen, but no artist was hired, it's all retro/pixel graphics, very poor quality, very lazy and little effort, Even for a retro game, it lacks interesting aesthetics (and remember, indy devs use "retro" because it's "art" and thus above criticism for their laziness). Technical: The gameplay is smooth and runs well in 4K. You shouldn't experience any issues running this game. Really the only accomplishment for this game is that it runs. Sadly, I've run into better games on Steam that didn't run, and that's just sad. Gameplay: Well it's lacking, it's a blend of Pacman with a perverse PvP gameplay in the style of Smash Bros or Mario Kart, you're basically playing Pacman but your objective is to run over things that annoy the other player. I'm sure this is great fun for primary school kids annoying each other, but I'm an adult. It's only split screen, very few modes, really not worth bothering with when you think that Steam is almost over 10,000 games now, many of which cost less or are free. There's no reason to buy this game when you consider how many freemium/cheap quality games there are out there. Lot quality, low effort graphics, cheap console mechanics, and a marginally viable gameplay mechanic just isn't enough for a thumbs up.

ASDAD: All-Stars Dungeons and Diamonds is an interesting local multiplayer game but it is not going to be for everyone. In ASDAD you play as one of two explorers who are trying to collect as many diamonds as possible. You traverse a maze collecting diamonds as well as items that either give you an advantage or hurt your opponent. The game has two main modes. In one mode players compete to collect the most diamonds. In the other mode the players race to collect an idol which is located at the end of the maze. I personally preferred the diamond collecting mode since the idol mode relies too heavily on the use of the items. While the game does have a single player mode, it serves mostly as a training exercise for the multiplayer. If you don't have another person to play the game with locally, you probably aren't going to get a lot out of the game. I had fun with ASDAD but it is not the type of game that I would play for hours at a time. It is the type of game that I would play for maybe a half hour and then come back to at a different time. While you can do quite a bit of customizing in each level, I kind of wish the game had a couple more levels. If you have another person to play the local multiplayer with and like the concept of traversing a maze collecting items, I think you can have some fun with ASDAD: All-Stars Dungeons and Diamonds. Note: I received a free review copy from the developer. [url=http://www.geekyhobbies.com/this-weeks-steam-releases-and-reviews-october-2nd-2015/#ASDAD] Read My Full Review [/url]

Se escucha demasiado sencillo ¿no? Bueno, esta fórmula tan sencilla debe de ser recordatorio para todos los desarrolladores de que no tienes que hacer un juego súper complicado para que el jugador se la pase bien y quiera jugar tu juego muchas veces. [b]Lo que opinó Ella:[/b] Mi primera impresión del ASDAD es que se me figuraba al clásico juego de Pac-man, mezclado con Indiana Jones (no pregunten porqué, simplemente así lo pensé). Después descubrí que era un estilo de juego que realmente nunca había jugado.

[b]Party hard.[/b] Este juego es en esencia un juego arcade ideal para jugar con amigos. En ASDAD tienes una selección de personajes que se enfrentarán en una arena, cuyo diseño cambia siempre, por los diamantes y para ver quién es capaz de obtener más de ellos. Al comienzo el juego parece sencillo, pero a medida que juegas más partidas, te das cuenta de que debes aprovechar al máximo los items y elegir los mejores caminos para tomar ventaja frente al rival. Tiene varios modos, para ponerle variedad al desafío, además de personajes desbloqueables que apuesto a que ustedes conocerán de otros juegos... Mi personaje favorito es Kaito Mas... ¡perdón! quise decir [b]Master Thief[/b]. Ya sabrán por qué... Es divertido jugar contra la computadora, pero es mucho mejor jugarlo con amigos porque así tienes a quién golpear si te ganan por un pelo. Puntos en contra: agradecería si el juego tuviera multijugador en línea, pero también pienso que eso le podría quitar ese efecto "mario party" que tiene. Otra cosa en contra, creo que le falta tocino. Y si le añaden "cromos" de steam, sería aún mejor (aunque esto no afecta nada el gameplay :p )

Awesome game. Gets a little competitive at times when you need to cram for the last few points at the very end of a round. Good to play against friends, or the AI (if you're in my situation and don't have friends). Graphics are cute and the audio is fitting; ASDAD is a game worth picking up.
