Red Winter Software has released an image from the upcoming sequel to tile-flipping fantasy roguelike
Dungelot.
Dungelot, which debuted on Android and iOS earlier this year, is a casual interpretation of the merciless roguelike formula.
In
Dungelot, you explore randomly generated dungeons by tapping tiles on a 6x5 grid. When flipped, each tile reveals either treasure, a trap, or a monster.
We enjoyed
Dungelot's randomised dungeons and accessible mechanics, believing it to be "the ideal taster course to the genre".
Keep 'em guessingNow, mere weeks after
Dungelot's launch, Red Winter Software has taken to
Facebook to reveal the first screenshot from
Dungelot 2.
As you can see from this side-by-side comparison below, the Red Winter team is aiming for a slightly more realistic look in
Dungelot 2 than the one in its cartoony predecessor.
Dungelot (left), Dungelot 2 (right)Despite the enhanced visuals and wonky spelling of 'wizard', though, the
Dungelot experience in this new image looks very much like the
Dungelot we know and love.
We reckon, however, that - like the tiles themselves - there's more to
Dungelot 2 than meets the eye. We look forward to uncovering more about this upcoming sequel in the near future.

I agree, curtis. And it seems like the developer of Dungelot has a lot of ideas of his own, and is taking a lot of ideas/criticism from the community and putting it all into a sequel. He's said that some changes would be just too difficult/time consuming to make for the original Dungelot, so he's going to transfer most of his efforts now on big changes to the sequel. Can't wait to see what he comes up with. the first one isn't anything THAT deep, but it is somewhat satisfying for a quick time-killer.

It would be nice to see more dungeon skins at least, like an ice cave, sand tunnel, sewer dungeon, molten cave. The list could go on and on and they could offer more dungeons as IAP... As much as I dislike that model.
