Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is Desktop Dungeons Enhanced Edition in 3D.

Literally.

Gone are the pixel-art bitmaps, replaced by glorious detailed 3D artwork.

The gameplay is (at least at this point) identical.

Like, last night I played through the first map multiple times before I understood it and beat it.

Tonight, exactly the same map, with the same mobs, and the same drops, but all in 3D.

So: Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is an isometric 3D roguelike dungeon crawler puzzle game.

Where last night it was a great example of a game where the gameplay overcomes my dislike of pixel-art games, now the fun gameplay is also pretty.

Still a pretty standard dungeon crawler. Explore the dungeon, attack mobs.

However, each square you uncover goes towards refilling your health and mana. You need to explore the fog of war to find mobs, but if you clear the fog of war and then try and kill the mobs, you're gonna have a bad time.

I cleared the first level with exactly the same strategy I used last night, still hooked. The only reason I didn't keep playing was that it ran into my actual work shift.

Between dungeons there's some resource management and basic city-building going on, but the game is designed to be played in short chunks. No change, just prettier city-building, in 3D!

In a shocking and surprising turn of events, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is:

4: Good

This is my favorite class writeup so far! The Berserker is just always so fun to mess around with: In the Berserker's class challenges, we rename all the enemies to things like "AARGUAAR!" and "HRAAARG!" because that just made sense for a Berserker's internal screamologue. #DesktopDungeons #DesktopDungeonsRewind https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1976950/view/3616983854461972897
