RHYME'S PROFILE

Make a dungeon crawler that WILL piss people off. You know, the ones where you fall into a pit and get devoured by high level enemies, get back to town with barely enough HP and rest in the inn and suffer heavy monetary losses to repair equipment or healing allies. The ones where you underestimate the monsters in the new Floor and they wipe your party out because you weren't paying attention in battle. The ones where there's damage floors everywhere so you have to tread lightly. The ones where the map turns dark and makes it hard to navigate so that you take forever exiting the map.

When a dungeon crawler is light on story it usually means they're leaving the player with their imagination to create their story. The numbers presented by the game is meant to be interpreted by the player, not just as stats, but also as a tale. Whenever I make a character in a dungeon crawler, I enjoy imagining their situations, their reactions when they open a treasure chests, the chats they make in the inn before they rest to their next adventure, the feeling they have when they encounter a difficult obstacle and worked together to clear it, where they learn more about each other and how well they as a party team up so well.

A dungeon crawler party's tale is just bland without some hardships. So if they manage to defeat powerful foes and lived to tell the tale back in town, that would make me happy. My personal opinion on why I like dungeon crawls at least.
and that is why i am a sadist

Once online multiplayer is unlocked, find friends to play with. The fun practically quadruples by then. You can also go with a random room and play with random players. (Since it's released recently, the online multiplayer is far from dead! it's also cross-region, so you can meet US/EU/JP/Asia/etc players)

The PS3 version allows up to 4 players on the same couch play together locally (i don't actually know how well it works, since I don't own the PS3 version ;-;), and the Vita version can ad-hoc to play with others~

Regardless, a single player run is still pretty fun to play!
