As an avid roguelite? roguelike? enjoyer? It was fun and had some great ideas in there. Has room for some cool combos and the gameplay is smooth. Not super challenging, not much story. Beaten all difficulties in under 10 hours. A couple small cons: Pink cards balance might be a bit lacking, announcer voice could have had an option to be disabled.

Nice game to kill some time. It seems hard but at some point you just get the hang out of it. Look at me: 3.5 hours in and i managed to finish the boss! In easy mode. Edit: After trying a few runs in hard mode, let me say this: It doesnt end with a run in normal mode. There is more to the game. The enemies spawn now in different areas and the boss arenas (3 in total per run) now have traps and the bosses have some new variation of their abilities. Yepp, definitely fun.

I think Hades was pretty much the first proper rogue-like game I played. I hadn’t really thought about the concept ever before but found I enjoyed it greatly, so I looked for more similar games. Dandy Ace was one of the games I ended up with. A couple of things to consider here. I enjoyed playing Dandy Ace. I like the concept with the cards you unlock, how you best combine your weapons. Gameplay-wise it is a lot of fun. My achievement hoarding dragon brain rejoiced at all the things to collect and unlock and I spent a good amount of time making my way through all the levels. Although there are quite some things to get, it’s not a complicated game to figure out. You’ll soon have down what to pick and what to combine. The design is very cute. It feels a little bit like Alice in Wonderland on crack and I am very much here for it. The enemies look cool and unique enough, I think this game has a very succinct and recognizable color palate that makes it easy to remember. I did get occasionally frustrated but a) that is the nature of roguelike games and b) I insisted on going through all difficulty levels to get all the achievements which obviously made my life unnecessarily hard. So, while I had a great time playing this, I uninstalled it once I had everything done and never felt like revisiting the game. Replayability in games is pretty important to me, especially when I look at the price point of the game. Sure, I put a good amount of hours into it but I feel like I got my money’s worth more with other (similar) games that cost way less than this one. I would definitely wait for it to go on sale because otherwise, the price point is too high for me. Or, on the other end of the price spectrum, if I think of, for example, Hades, which costs a bit more but had me revisit the game time and time again, I really feel the cost of Dandy Ace at full price would not be worth it for me. I don’t really have any big complaints about the gameplay or any of the mechanics. It’s very much what you would expect and want from a rogue-like, so we’re good in that department. I enjoyed playing it. But it’s not my favorite game of this type. There are others that intrigued me more and especially motivated me to come back for more time and time again. So, all in all, I would recommend the game, but I would only get it if it’s on sale. Otherwise, you can get somewhat more value for money from other similar games.

Fun little thing, worth grabbing on discount. It suffers from the typical roguelike with progression flaw that the more skills you unlock, the less likely you are to get the good ones that you had easy access to in the beginning. Though the system as a whole has a few nice touches, every card has a main effect and an effect that can upgrade other cards you can freely swap around.

so good i turned into the handsome magician jokes aside, quite fun, good soundtrack, awesome artwork, decent story, and requires replayability to get more cards
