Without personality a game is empty

Super simplistic and very default. It came off as rather shallow and empty, unfortunately. It's not a bad game, per se, but it's not exactly much of a game really. There's a very huge lack of personality which is a pity. The mapping is alright bar an error or two, but the only thing to really comment on is the item names - everything else is basically default. Still, it's balanced easy enough to get through and if you feel like a quick romp through a cave, it's there.

Thanks for the honest review!

Yeah, I made the game simple because sometimes I get ambitious and I never finish the game (but maybe it is too simple)

I began to work on the game around the 18th and on the 26th my pc crashed and I had to make the game from the start, that's why it is too short (originally it was about a group of friends who are bored and want to go on adventures)

The characters are supposed to be without personality, maybe a "make your own team" option would be better but, again, I want to keep it simple

I will expand the game a bit more and add some new floors but if you think it is not worth it then I will not continue working on it

English isn't my first language, I use google translate for the text on the game

Btw, can you explain about the rng for the battles again? maybe send me a pm? I will try to make the battles harder but less common

So, it seems like I'd have the same things to say about the game as Liberty. Do you still want me to do a video? I could do a video if/when you update the game, or if you make a different game.

I would suggest updating the game based on Liberty's feedback rather than giving up on it. It might be a better exercise because you'll find out if you can actually resolve those issues. You might make a new game and end up making all the same mistakes.

Well, the game is much different from when liberty made this video, if I update the game I would only add more levels, I want feedback on the balance

Ok, I can do that over the next few days.
