Dungeons of Clay

If you find the background distracting, turning off all the graphics will fix that issue. Each run takes about an hour and a half. The difficulty I would rate 3/5, so if you are skilled at all with roguelikes it will probably take you only 2 to 3 attempts to beat the game. Nice change of pace, good game!

A fun game with a dev who works to fix issues as they pop up. Would recommend.

Dungeons of Clay is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This shovelware platformer is painfully generic and doesn't differentiate in any meaningful ways from most of the pack. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the game resolution caps out at 1080p, a very low resolution that became mainstream back in 2006 and became obsolete when 4K entered the mainstream in 2014. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is often used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. That's right, only 3. This is a pitiful enough number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason. Dungeons of Clay has the almost unethical price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

Wired Xbox 360 controller doesn't work. Half the buttons don't register. I would update this review if this is fixed...

游戏的画面没什么好说的，就是这种古古怪怪有点随意的画风。游戏里我关掉了后处理效果，就是整个屏幕花花的效果，开着有点看不清攻击还花眼 游戏初上手害挺难的，迅捷的小怪，各种扑面而来的弹幕攻击，还没爽起来就直接无了。打了几把后，觉得这个游戏设计还是挺有意思的。小怪都很有特色会追着你打，弹幕射击也很讲究不只有单纯的攻击，会追踪、反弹、散开、穿墙；总结就是真特么难躲！ 结合玩家的短射程，平台的局限性，整个游戏不会让你很爽的狗着打，就是要让你高机动的躲避枪林弹雨。这些种种机制上的配合意外的不错 boss的设计倒是中规中矩，有很多常见的套路，也没有多种形态，都是一团的浮空boss，只要稍加注意初见就能熟悉boss的攻击路数，只要不手残很轻松就能磨死（因为boss没有血条，打某个boss打的差点怀疑人生，我到底打没打到呢） 作为一个Roguelike游戏，这游戏随机性不高。地图随不随机说实话看起来都一个样。武器的话，这个游戏的武器都是“手枪”，只有类型和等级的不同，外形就是换个手势，没有附加的buff或者其他花里胡哨的东西。区别不大，但是换着打还是挺不错的，也有一些有趣的武器，比如榴弹炮啥的，不过会炸到自己就真的mdzz了 然后加buff的道具还是挺多的，有点玩雨中冒险2的感觉，开箱子非常的快乐。至于道具的文字，虽然游戏没有中文，但游戏贴心的把好效果标绿坏效果标红了，懒得用软件app之类的翻译也不影响游戏。 玩了一个半小时就通关了，还不错，游戏值得一玩。不过目前来看游戏的内容不是很丰富，有待后续更新。如果想买建议打折再入

《Dungeons of Clay》是一款画风较为简单的肉鸽地牢游戏，玩家需要通过拿着一把手枪不断深入一个又一个的黏土地牢，打败那些潜藏在地牢深处的怪物。游戏有些类似逃出地牢，在冒险中主角可以通过收集各种不同的道具和武器来增强自身，战胜不同的boss。 首先要说的是对于一款随机生成的地牢来说，游戏的流程实在是太短了，熟悉套路之后基本不到两个小时就可以通关全部流程，导致玩家通关后会感到一脸懵逼，就这？ 此外游戏的道具也在这个体量下还是很丰富的，有七十多种道具来提升玩家的属性。不过要记住基础的木箱子是不需要钥匙开启的，只有石箱子需要钥匙。因此玩家需要谨慎的使用钥匙，决定是用钥匙去开门去探索还是开箱子赌一把脸。不过游戏中虽然房间还是在变化，但是看起来几乎是一个样，看久了显得十分单调。 同样的游戏最大的槽点是其嘈杂而混乱的视觉特效，在特效影响下画面本来就很模糊，更别说晃动起来完全注意不到陷阱和怪物的弹道。所以还是建议玩家在设置中关掉这一视觉特效。 再说游戏的难度，其实熟悉以后还是可以接受的，因为玩家用跑动的方式就可以超过大多数的怪兽弹道，更别说还有闪避，唯一让人觉得不太舒服的地方就是玩家的射程实在是有些近，这一点有些不爽。还有一点就是玩家的攻击并非能直接扣掉怪物一格血，因此千万不要大意。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心，写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入，一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论，也麻烦点个赞，让更多人能够看到！[/quote]

Good fun. Not to difficult. Good for a quick brain flush :D

Time killer. Can't say whether or not it's worth the 10 dollars, but is nice if you have free time. Bit repetative and guns don't really seem to do any damage, a good and bad thing about this game, but overall is nice.

Great game. Would definitely recommend. Has some interesting mechanics. Personally I find it a pretty tough game though that might be different for you. There's some cool randomization mechanics in it as well. A lot of games seem to be more of the same nowadays, it's refreshing to see new unique mechanics in the indie scene the past years.

[h3]SNAPSHOT[/h3] $0.99 game with a $9.99 price tag [h3]OVERALL - 0.99 / 10[/h3] [h3]PROS[/h3] + unique artstyle [h3]CONS[/h3] - painfully easy gameplay - meaningless items / stats - horrid UX [h3]FULL REVIEW[/h3] Honestly this game seems like was released immediately after being code complete when 99% of the development time was spent on the artstyle / vibe. The artstyle, while interesting, ends up being an impediment to gameplay instead of a benefit. For example, it's really hard to tell at times what all is actually harmful to the player - are these floating orbs enemy / friendly projectiles or are they just random things flying around for no reason? Aesthetic choices aside, the UX itself is some of the worst I've seen in a long while. From knowing when ANYTHING is getting hit (friend or foe) to the game actually realizing you've finished the level there is nothing in this game that makes you feel good about playing it. I'm not even sure why the game needs to generate each level as they're all so similar and forgettable that I wouldn't have even noticed if it re-used the same one each time. On top of this, many parts of the game seem to be at a delay as if the only intent is to inflate your time in game. For instance, the game takes a few seconds to actually realize you've killed all enemies in a level, and the "wheel of fate" sequence afterwards also takes time to spin up and wind down even when you use the shortcut the devs provide to skip it. This game also claims to have "full controller support" but I abandoned using it almost immediately because of how bad it was. It seems clear that the game was built around using the mouse as the controller inputs just move the cursor around in the menu without any added benefit. Using the d-pad made the cursor jump around the screen without actually selecting anything in the menu (lol), and for some reason the only way to then use the menu is to use the RIGHT analog stick only which seems like the most offensive choice the devs could have made yet at the same time is apt for what this game turned out to be. On top of all of this the items, stats, and weapons in this game are comically bad and essentially meaningless, which combined with boss fights that have almost no mechanics behind them makes the entire game as forgettable as can be. Almost everything in the game gives minuscule stat bonuses that have at best a negligible impact on the game, meaning you can realistically skip everything and still beat it in under 2 hours without issue. Or, you can just save automated Steam support the hassle of having to refund this and not buy it in the first place.
