Dungeon Encounters is an... experience. Square Enix has rendered (much like fat drippings from roasted meat) the JRPG formula down to its most essential elements. What we're left with can barely be described as a "game". It is a concentrated burst of thoughtfully interlocking mechanics that, like eating a spoonful of lard, makes you at once say "That was delicious !" and with the very same breath go "--and I never want to eat it again!" What Works: "Here's a dungeon with encounters in it. There are 99 floors. Go go go!" is an appealing premise. Unlike randomly generated roguelikes the dungeon here is actually crafted with a level of care. When you discover hidden things it feels genuinely rewarding rather than like you stumbled across something by luck. You quickly discover luck has almost no bearing in this game. The RNG is designed to be toyed with and abused. As you dig deeper into the dungeon you collect more abilities that make moving through the dungeon an ever more abstract exercise. Walls and floors are meant to be phased through. Monster spawns are meant to be shuffled around. The primary measure of progression in this game isn't the level of your characters, its how many dungeoneering abilities you can equip and that is primarily dependent on how many floors you can fully chart. Charting floors in the dungeon feels good and solving puzzles to get the coordinates of hidden treasures feels super rewarding. I can't remember the last game that basically forced me to keep a notebook, but I really enjoyed that aspect as well. It's fun noting down important positions and working out the puzzles by hand and then coming back to them later. What Doesn't Work: The worst part of this game by far is the combat. It's a good thing too because of how unnecessary combat ends up being. The basic element of combat is reducing your opponent's HP to 0, and the most effective way to do that is by covering your whole party in AoE damage weapons/spells because hitting 5 opponents is just way more efficient than hitting 1, even if your damage is about half what single target weapons/spells do and by the time you are midway down pretty much every fight in the game is against 4+ enemies. Worse still, are various gimmicks the game throws at you. Every 10 floors or so the game will have a new gimmick that more or less makes the game unwinnable (borderline unplayable even) and then about halfway through, if you explore enough, an ability that renders the mechanic completely moot, never to be considered again. Interesting but overly brutal/tedious status effects and dungeon tiles simply become null and by the end you're just trading HP damage blows with the monsters who sometimes waste their turn trying to Petrify or steal your items only to get a "Blocked" message. It would be better if these mechanics still had some kind of relevance but simply were made less instantly game ruining. Lastly, the heart and soul of this game is guess-and-check exploration. Autosave has no business being anywhere near a game design like this and if you play this raw without backing up your saves by hand you're going to have a bad time. Retrieving petrified characters from the bottom of the dungeon isn't "fun". It's tedious and stupid. All that said, I cautiously recommend this game as long as you understand what you're getting into. This is "games as high concept art". It does not entertain so much as it provokes interesting thoughts and begs for new interpretations.

Very interesting game that somewhat pretends to be something it isn't. It's an ultra minimalist straightforward dungeon crawler that is so simple it seems almost intentionally boring... and then you start finding the tools to break and/or circumvent all its challenges. Nothing else is quite like it but it really isn't for everyone.

Un gran juego para los que nos gusta pararnos a pensar la estrategia de batalla en un RPG por turnos. En los últimos niveles puedes saltar un montón de pisos y eso no me gustó tanto.

This game is like plain rice made by an incredibly skilled cook. It is undeniably of very high quality. I would prefer if it had some seasonings on it, but I can't say it isn't exactly what it set out to be.

This is genuinely the worst game I've ever seen made by a AAA game studio, but I love it. There's no environment. There's no story. There's no characters. There's just you bashing your head against very rough game design. If getting frustrated makes you more determined, this game is for you. Otherwise, you're probably gonna uninstall it the second a party member gets petrified and you have to just kick them out of the party because you're still an hour from unlocking the mechanic to cure it, and I can't blame you for that.
