ODALIN: DUNGEONS OF DOOM Review -- A Dungeon Crawler that Actually Focuses on Crawling Dungeons

Описание: ODALIN: DUNGEONS OF DOOM is a freshly delivered dungeon crawler from Dragori Games, the makers of TANARES ADVENTURES.

ODALIN is a tightly focused dungeon crawler that ignores the city phases and civ-building mechanics found in many other recent dungeon crawlers (including Dragori's own TANARES), and zooms in on just the hardcore dungeon crawling and adventure.

Join with demons and create wicked builds, upgrade stats and abilities with satisfying frequency, and push your luck to avoid turning into a demon and accidentally killing all of your friends. Fun times!
