Eventually all these levels end with a showdown with the area boss and, upon their defeat, another excerpt from your diary explaining how this benefits you and what trophy you took from the area. The final level of each area is a boss event with conditions ranging from вЂbeat the enemy in ten turns or dieвЂ™ and вЂrun away and level up whilst the boss chases youвЂ™. This, accompanied by the excellent backing tracks, creates a wonderfully immersive experience.ДЄll areas of the game are split into three levels which each have different goals. This helps to soften the blow of losing a character you quite liked, by getting a new character who does the same job to fill the void their death left behind.ДЄs mentioned above, the game is narrated by a rather ominous bard who speaks only in rhymes. This is especially so when you get a replacement for whichever character just died after one more level attempt. With its hilarious voice over from your bardic narrator explaining the terrible things that happen in game in whimsical yet ominous verse, the death of a character is not the be all and end all. Where this would normally be a complaint and a sleight against the game, Guild of Dungeoneering is designed to make this eventuality fun. So you may find yourself throwing your lackeys through the meat-grinder in the hopes of discovering how best to tackle the level. In fact, some levels are extremely difficult for some classes and easier for others with no way of telling prior until you become acquainted with the game areas. This creates an excellent way to control your characterвЂ™s growth for the run.ДЄside from the characters always beginning at level one in each new dungeon, the player soon discovers whilst playing the game that Guild of Dungeoneering is not afraid to murder your adventurers. Characters will move towards treasure and enemies the same level as them. The modular dungeon mechanic implemented in Guild of Dungeoneering is a stroke of genius and allows the player to pick three actions a turn from a hand of five random cards that include: dungeon tiles, monsters and treasure. This adventurer has the title and class of вЂњChumpвЂќ.

The player starts with an excerpt from their diary explaining, in rather amusing exposition, that you have decided to make your own adventuring guild, leading you to hire your first adventurer. The game also engaging the player in a fantastic, comical story of one personвЂ™s petty quest for revenge after being rejected from an adventuring guild.

However, the game by Irish developer Gambrinous commits to a very delicate and well-executed balancing act, harmonising conventions from multiple gaming genre and making it into a single fluid experience.ДЇirst released in 2015, Guild of Dungeoneering is an interesting game with simple gameplay that lends itself to new players and experts alike. Guild of Dungeoneering wears many hats, which in most titles would lead to their inevitable implosion.
