Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground

I may be playing this PSP game for months! The dungeon design engine is fantastic, very easy to learn, and forgiving of the novice. I am having so much fun building dungeon levels and waiting to see what inhabitants I will discover when I return. Beautiful graphics abound, and the monsters AI is much better than many other games. It is actually hard to trick these guys into getting stuck on a square table while I keep shooting arrows across at them, or into staying still so I can hit them with my axe or sword. The quests start out fairly simple, but keep getting tougher. There is always someone asking you for help, or offering hints. Each level of the dungeon maze is rated so you can see what improvements effect your rating. Really fun and I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys a good dungeon crawl, or is an aspiring designer.

An addictive dungeon crawler. If you ever took the time to design and draw out mazes on graphing paper for your home or after school DnD campaigns with friends, you are going to love this game. Design your own multi-level dungeon and wait for the baddies to come. Real time combat set in your dungeon.

For me I am not that detail oriented nor do I care to be creative. I only gave it 2 stars because I wanted something dungeon related but not this much... others will undoubtedly give it 5+ stars because it will appeal to them more than me.

This is an excellent game, which combines elements of a Tycoon "builder" game with a classic Dungeon Crawler RPG. Your task is to build the kind of dungeon that will attract the best monsters. You need lots of twists and turns in corridors and nice rooms for the monsters to stay. The better the dungeon, the better the class of monster you attract and the more loot you get from killing them.

The fighting elements are classic Dungeon Crawler RPG, with magic spells and special attacks, combined with various weapons and armor types. You can only enter the dungeon once per day, and each day you can make a meal, which will improve your ratings after sleep.

While it is nothing groundbreaking in any area, it is a fun and easy combination of gaming types. Very much a casual game, also very easy to get caught up and play for hours.
