I thought the people were over exaggerating the popup issue. They are not. I really don't need to be informed about every single tiny thing. The UI is repetitive for how many things you need to upgrade. There could be a lot of changes to make this game more fun. I got it on sale. Overall a fun time waster I would say it's worth the 3$ I spent on it.
These games are absurdly fun. They make you explore the rules of the world but it's fun to do that, instead of frustrating. Kairosoft is worth loyalty in Mobile at this point. If you're new to them: you build a town and supply adventurers, who then go out and complete quests, while you try to grow and attract more guests. None of which really describes what's good about the game, but that's the premise.
It definitely has a Lot of new features... I'm not quite sold on them yet, but I've only just past the 17yr. mark on my first play through. My main issue is that you have a whole new use for items but the drop rate isn't any higher than before so you can't advance shops/people/cauldron as much, and their effects are much less on shops and the cauldron. I wound up with over half of my people only equipped with what they bought for themselves because I couldn't level up shops enough. 😕
Let me start by saying that I don't play mobile games anymore. I did at one time, but now I primarily focus on computer or console gaming. When I first purchased this I was skeptical, I thought it was another cheap game focused on keeping me paying for microtransactions. Imagine my surprise when there were no microtransactions, and the game itself was not just good at passing time, but genuinely fun! I've played for a while only to realize it'd been several hours! I highly recommend it!
This is ALMOST great. It's got surprising depth and while it's relatively easy for more experienced strategy and sim gamers it is simple enough to ease players into a genre with some more complicated games. Now the problem. Why this lost two stars. Oh. So many. Pop ups. They never stop! They just keep coming! They can't be skipped and barely sped up! Everything has a ten second animation attached! It almost doubles the game length! Please, I'm begging you, let me minimize or skip them. 🥺
A lot like the first one with a few added features. Fun but a few things could be improved: 1. The first few times the game starts the load takes a long time, but after that it gets shorter. 2. Making money is too easy, pretty soon you run out of things too spend it on. 3. Monster taming doesn't seem to work. Played for many hours but only ever tamed one.
So far better than the original Dungeon Village due to more things to do (and getting in-game money seems easier thanks to a new crystal system that can be exchanged for in-game money), but I do wish there were better explanations in the game for some of the new features, like what the advantage of building different houses are, and more about pets and so forth. But I am enjoying the game even though the popups from various conditions being met/rewards can be overwhelming at times.
It's a great little game by a company I love, it doesn't take IRL days to do things, no purchases or ads, and a well made little management sim, lots of stuff to unlock with progression. I can easily spend hours playing nonstop. However, If I have any qualms with it, and it's only because this is a paid game, it's that it'd be really nice to actually know what each stat does and to be able to see what your total monthly expenses are in the info screen so you aren't blindsided when they come out.
I played the first one and thought it was charming enough to get this one. It's a cute town builder, with two main goals: Get 5 Star rating and Defeat the Boss. I like being able to move to a new town on the same save, i love the new monsters and jobs. Everything is fleshed out and improved, no glitchy selecting buildings or npcs when you didn't want to. Very nice. Have been playing for a long time.
Send help I can't stop playing!! This game doesn't have ads which is awesome in this day and age, and no way to spend real money inside the game either. You make a nice town and have all these characters you can customize with RPG elements like dungeons and quests. The game is simply fun and addicting, I love it!!! Great update to the original dungeon village.
