Reviews for Doom & Destiny Advanced

This game is a snarky tongue-in-check parody of the classic RPGs I grew up playing. At the same time, it has an interesting story, innovative combat system, and runs fabulous on my phone without all the in-game purchase stuff so prevalent nowadays. Kudos to the developers, I will try anything else you've built.

Years later I've come back to the games, first I replayed the original and it was still a 5/5 game. Then I replayed this one, bugs are gone but the game is still just so damn boring. Some areas require random things to happen, and then there are tons of difficulty spikes where grinding is the only answer. I couldn't recommend this 4 years ago and still can't.

I have to admit, I am addicted to this game. If you ever played the first Final Fantasy games, or Chronotrigger, well...this game took me back to my childhood turn-based RPGs, which I desrly loved and have missed as games have evolved. Yeah, like any game, there's grinding, but any game that you enjoy the storyline of helps you get through it. I like how they give a nod at old school stuff, how even some of the sayings the characters use are thinly disguised. Light hearted modern take. Thank you

Great game just has some balance issues at mid game. I finished most side quest to gold have done all the arenas then get stuck at one boss and he wipes the floor with me. You should not have to, mid game mind you, go mindlessly grind for hours just to level up. I did it for quite a while and no difference in fight. I'm not spending hours grinding I would rather just not play. No problem like this in any of the other games in the series.

This is a valid attempt at an old school RPG. The gameplay is decent, storyline feels good... But the controls are kind of funky. The world is a grid, but the controls are kind of floaty. Swipe and stop to love and make menu selections- no tap to move or select menu options. The game feels fairly deep, but also feels like you need to have a clue before starting. The humor is borderline (tutorial enemy is sewer stink cloud thing) and it feels like a lot of effort went into this game.

This game is seriously fun and a blast from the past in that it reminds me of the classic style rpg. There is slot of hilarity mixed in as well which made me laugh quite a bit as well. I am now starting a second playthrough now. It has definite replayability. Many thanks to the developer. I bought the paid versions of both games for these reasons. I can't wait to see what they make next.

Been putting a few hours in and it's been a great RPG. The funny dialogue really breaks the monotony of interrogating NPCs. Controls were a little different than I'm used to, but not much of a learning curve. I started using the dual control method, which I think was cool to add. Really enjoying this game, thanks devs!

Not really sure why the game mechanics from the first version had to be changed, but the new ones kind of suck. The menus are totally counterintuitive and after a while, it just gets frustrating. It's also super grindy, advancement is slow as hell and it's just not fun. The save crystal mechanic is AWFUL. Skip the advanced version and just play regular.

Excellent game for the most part. Replayability is hurt by the need for constant costume changes as characters must be in the appropriate costume to perform certain actions to advance and that can only be done in certain places. That part gets tedious and makes starting over, especially before collecting all the costumes, feel like a real chore.

I loved the game but when I returned to replay it on my Samsung Galaxy S9 the tray bar (home, back, etc.) creates an area where you cannot see the map or your characters. It cuts off a good 5% or more of the screen and knowing secrets are a big part of the game, missing that much makes it unplayable for me now. Would love to see it fixed to go back and play it again.

Loved the first one, so got Advanced as soon as I beat it. And 100% recommend, Advanced is also amazing. Story is beautifully twisty :) The system is similar but different, and i wasn't a fan of the classes at first but pretty quickly got over that, I love how you build up your main base so you're not having to freshly level each class and it's more like a costume change. It's fantastic -- if you came from 1 and are a little weirded out at first, stick around, this game is just as good.

After being seriously unimpressed the first time I played this, I gave it another shot. Got fairly far in that time, but again lost interest before the end. As others have pointed out, the controls, auto save, class system and (lack of) inventory management are all serious drawbacks. Just buy their first game: It has a better story, and none of this one's flaws.

Great Game! Fun story line and great music. Controls are pretty intuitive and it's pretty addicting. Resources are an interesting mechanic too that I've come to enjoy. The only thing is that it's hard to see what buffs and debuffs are what. Maybe i just need to dig into the game manual a bit more, but it's difficult to see what I'm afflicted with just based on a symbol. Definitely would recommend this purchase though! Have fun!

Overall an extremely solid entry to mobile gaming, just like the first game. Good lighthearted dialogue and decent standard plot. Turn based combat system where speed actually matters. Very well done touch controls. Class options offered decent skill variety and balancing. However class changing sometimes felt more gimmicky/cumbersome than fun. Its impact on level navigation was cool for secrets, but sometimes annoying to deal with. Equipment system and choices are linear compared to 1st game.

Much appreciated response on my issue. Great game, lots to do, fun script. The concept of combining consumable items into 'Stuff' solves the tedious aspect in RPGs of having an extensive inventory of necessary items in addition to key items to keep the story moving. Equipment management is much the same. Spending less time worrying about your inventory leaves more time to enjoy the story and overall experience.

Inferior to the original in every way. The menus are extremely clumsy, the humor isn't funny, the gameplay is grindy and slow, the story is very weak, and the mechanics... Relying on shared resources with limited capacity keeps a sense of balance, but then having to *farm* the resources is annoying... Navigating through maze areas gets old fast, especially when the bushes are almost the same color as the passable terrain... The best I could say is the difficulty level can get harder. Go original

It's a great RPG that makes me laugh even on my 2nd time through years later. I really like being able to change classes which make both combat and exploration more interesting. The controls are intuitive and work well enough for mobile (it's a mobile game people, of course the touch controls are a bit touchy). My only complaint are all the typos I've found in my current version, but that's not enough to knock a single star off of this excellent game.

I was enjoying the game, despite the odd English translations, but then I got maybe halfway through the game (got the magic thread from the lightning god), and am forced to fight a second boss battle thats too difficult for my current character levels/equipment. Since I can't leave without fighting them, my only option would be to spend hoooooours leveling up in the temple. That's the opposite of fun, which is what I want to have when I play games. Also, I'm not a fan of the controls.

I wasn't overly sure what to expect in this but I bought it on a whim because I wanted to try it. 10/10 glad I did. Worth the purchase, there's ample content and things to do, dialogue is funny (funnier as a nerd), and has a good progression system. There's not really a learning curve, it's easy to understand, and the TBT combat doesn't make me want to smash my head against a wall.

I absolutely love this game. With so many awful mobile games out there its amazing to see a game excel not only at being a good mobile game, but just a good game in general. It's a fun, nerdy, old-school rpg with relatable characters, goofy dialogue, a good plot, and good progression. One of the few games I can say is money and time well spent.
