Hey everyone. We are happy to announce our newest game, Devious Dungeon! It's an action RPG platformer that focuses on melee combat. It's got some roguelike elements to it. We are launching on Thursday March 6th, 2014 at $0.99. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
This looks super interesting, this definitely has to get played! When you beta test, let me know because I'd happily test this for you!
This looks like the Ravenous Games game I always wished they'd make. Will levels be open ended or small like in previous Ravenous games? One of the biggest limitations of these RG platformers for me has always been how small the levels often feel (I understand that on a timed trial basis but prefer a metroidvania style).
Thanks for all the kind words everyone! We are really proud of this game and think it gets back to our roots of solid action platforming. We should be opening up for beta testing next week, so keep your eye here for the announcement. It does feel like a medieval RH2, but the action is a more exciting in the close range combat with critical strikes. The levels are still small because bigger levels require a lot more time to be done correctly. RH2 had the largest levels and took a significant chunk of time and manpower to create. With Devious Dungeon the biggest thing going for it's maps are that item and enemies are randomly placed so each playthrough feels different. We have about 75 base levels plus the random tileset and enemies to mix it up.
How many people actually use them? It's a fair bit of work getting them supported correctly. I'm not sure how many people use them seeing as they're like $100 for the MFI controllers. I know a few dropped in price this past week though. Our artist is currently finishing up the remaining assets and we will be picking it up again after this is Devious Dungeon is finished.
