Idle Dungeons tasks you with clicking through dungeon stages, upgrading weapons and spells to overcome enemies and bosses. However, the game launched in a skeletal state with minimal enemy variety, few maps, and a prestige system that offers no meaningful rewards—leaving little incentive to progress beyond initial exploration.
About this game
Crawl your way through multiple layers of dungeons and defeat countless enemies for their blood. Upgrade your sword and use spells to progress faster and defeat the various bosses and obstacles you will encounter.

This game from the pictures had much potential, however it was given up on before it stood a chance. Though to be fair this game should not have been announced as 'released' for the following reasons:
1. There are 5 'maps'. Every 5 stages you see the backgrounds reset. 2. There are ... 6? Maybe 7? Monster models. 3. The item system mentioned is not actually in the game. 4. Prestige / reset shop prices jump up far too quickly. 5. Some achievements do not work.
However the game DOES have a fully functioning cash shop, and apparently the dev has made it clear the game is abandoned unless he sees better reviews or a fair amount of cash spent on the game.
So my suggestion to people sadly would be not to support any games made by this company until the dev realizes that people want content before they open up their wallet or give a glowing review. Should this game ever get an update, i'll look over this review.
Extremely basic and bare, the game has been showcased as a coming soon for what feels like an eternity, after seeing a release then seeing what little content exists i believe this was a bad move and should have been kept in production status. The game offers absolutely nothing in comparison to other clicker titles, i honestly think the game was released way too early and i do get it. Made a game and can't wait to get it out there, i do get it i really do.
Sadly i can't give this a thumbs up as a full game, i could if it was listed as a demo, if you feel like putting this in a demo status i would thumbs up it and supports the production because from what i have seen it is not a bad game.
It does need a lot of work, the core alone is just far too small and offers nothing for you to stay interested or wanting more if you do reach the limit of progression that has been set.
A few resets and you may just want to move on.
In response to this part of the statement..
"Despite the poor reviews we've been getting, it doesn't change the fact that the game will be supported and fixed well into the future to mould it into what it should have been at launch. (You can support us by leaving a good review :3)"
A review is structured to be a formal assessment of something with the intention of instituting change if necessary. i am not going to leave a good review on a product that does not meet a level of standard by a large mile stone.
You will get a good review when and only when i enjoy the time spent in the product you are pitching. Only then will i also feel comfortable spending money in the product within the product that you are selling. I am not going to spend any cash on something that offers nothing to me in terms of enjoyment and time i want to spend on this product in it's current state so it has surprised me that some have payed a little, i am certainly not going to throw money as support when i feel i am getting very little in return.
I honestly think you need to re-think your plans and make sure the next patch not only increases production value but popularity too.
This is a free game and because of this so some may think i am being unfair with my review But, my life and time is not free and priceless and i want to spend my time wisely, it is not infinite and very important to me. Lately i'm wasting far too much of it on mediocre games in hopes to find something good and i can't get that time back. I spent an hour on the game and gave it a really good try and gave it far longer than most other games i lost interest in quickly. I think i am being honest and fair.and hope one day you can get this product on the same level as other clicker titles out there but with the time this game has been in the coming soon list, could be in for a really long wait.
Broken, poorly conceived, and extremely shallow. Whatever the character limit may be for these Steam reviews, I could fill it with all the ways this game fails to deliver.
If I had to choose, what's the worst issue of them all? Performing a prestige rewards you with nothing. Should be some premium currency, but nope. Return to the start of the game with literally nothing to show for it. I know idle games are time wasters, but that's taking it a bit too far.
Sure, it's a bug. But since the developer has abandoned the game due to overwhelming criticism and complete lack of cash shop sales, good luck making any meaningful progress if you start the game today.
And a personal note to the dev: if you're gonna scrap game systems like loot drops before release, don't leave in the achievements for them. I can forgive a bad game, but unobtainable achievements make me want to punch a puppy. YOUR puppy.
[Not a literal or legitimate threat against any puppy.]
Admittedly, day one didn't go as smoothly as planned and multiple game breaking bugs were discovered, and we would like to thank you for sticking through the multiple patches pushed out yesterday. Now those have been sorted as of the most recent patch, it's time to look ahead and for us to produce more content for the game. Over the coming weeks there will be many content updates adding things both that are already planned, and those that the community suggest. Despite the poor reviews we've been getting, it doesn't change the fact that the game will be supported and fixed well into the future to mould it into what it should have been at launch. (You can support us by leaving a good review :3) Thanks to all of you who have made a purchase, or who have joined the discord community and have given suggestions! It can only get better from this point!

It's finally here! After many delays and renditions of the game, it has been released! Try it out for free! You're not losing out on anything if it's not for you. As you may know the game has been delayed and re-worked multiple times but that has only meant that the game has gradually got better over time. We apologise and would like to thank those that have been with us on this long journey to release! We will be posting a road map (soon) of all the future updates that are planned to come out as the game and community grow. These will be things such as: Procedurally generated dungeons, so there's a truly infinite world you can explore. A clan system, so you can compete in leagues to earn rewards and items. Unique items to equip that give certain bonuses and upgrade the look of your dungeoneer. Any suggestions you might have can and will be implemented if they fit the game! (Check the discord for where you can post these). We are looking forward to hearing your input on the game and want to try and grow it to be a community led idle game that is something that people will want to continue to play for the foreseeable future. Join the Discord for all the discussions and for any support that you may need on the game. We're always active and will take into account any suggestions you might have.

Sorry for the seeming lack of updates with both the beta and game recently, but behind closed doors the game has been progressing nicely! We're proud to present one of the newer features recently added to the game: Character Customisation! This is a new feature and you'll be able to create the adventurer to represent you, as you'll battle your way through waves of enemies and treacherous dungeons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q8MGux092o The re-work of the game is coming on nicely and with that said, we're 100% heading for release on schedule this time. The game both looks and plays completely differently to how it did before, and it will now put it apart from our previous game and other games in the idle market too. If you can't wait to play the game, the beta is always open for more people to come and take a key. Simply look in the #beta-keys section of the discord and you will find a key which you can use to gain access to the beta.
