Sometimes, reviewing scads of indie games means finding something that makes an effort to break rules of “traditional” games and put a twist on a genre. Dungeonmans is an interesting example of this, combining a complete irreverence for itself and the genre it hails from with a curious take that mixes in some interesting pieces to the RPG roots. Unfortunately, some of this seems to make the game feel stretched thin in places, offering a variety of elements but lacking great depth in many of them. Still, as an experimental and self-deprecating title, there’s a charm to it.
The big “TWO-FIVE-ZERO” and fortunately, the whole gang shows up for the momentous occasion! Four and a half years of podcasting later, and I feel the three of us deserve medals (hence the picture this week!).
Anyway, for the big show, Gigi continues to duck The Walking Dead in lieu of some unwanted sexual advances in Dragon Age Inquisition (oooh, hair sweater), Quinn apparently gets stuck on a desert island and manages to play through the entirety of a Final Fantasy on his iPhone, while Shanghai Six, as per the contract, complains about his losing streak in League of Legends and discusses the bizarrely humorous (and cheating bastard) roguelike game that is Dungeonmans on Steam.

If you want to set out on a noble quest to reclaim books, artefacts and other pieces of equipment for the academy then go for it. Or if proving you’re the biggest, most awesome Dungeon-Person in the realm is your thing, get out there and destroy all those champions! There isn’t a story line per se, but that’s alright – you’ll just have to carve one out for yourself."
