Ratings and reviews

Coming back to this game a couple years later, I love it now that it's more fleshed out. Totally controller supported, which ya love to see in an action hack and slash like this. There's a lot more balance to enemies now. One tip; make sure you utilize the weapons you have. They don't have a ton of durability, but there are repair kits and you will find a variety of equipment. totally enjoying it this time around, though! If you like action roguelike RPGs, don't sleep on Dread Rune!

This game is AWESOME. It definitely has some rough edges though. Weapons that auto-break walls causing you to fall off the map is particularly frustrating. Or even the fact you can run through walls and explode everything with the light sword... a bit ridiculous. Bosses are often too easy. Improving boss mechanics or item balancing would help. I'm sure you'll iron all this out over time! The art and ambience of the game are incredible. Looking forward to seeing this game grow!

I'll start by saying that there is no good reason to not give this game a try. It's a good roguelike dungeon run, with enough depth of play to allow for hack and slash or stealth. With an active and involved developer, I trust that the existing minor issues will be addressed. If you haven't tried it, just play it. That being said - the physics are sometimes a bit off? Chests may open at such a speed that accidentally standing on one as it opens may springboard you over walls to your death....
