Super Dungeon Bros Critic Reviews

Super Dungeon Bros adds some fun and flair to a classic genre by never taking itself too seriously. Pick a rock god and run through level upon level of dungeons in order to wipe out enemies and find all the best loot.

Super Dungeon Bros is so focused on the co-op multiplayer that leaves behind all the fun that the single player could have offered.

Super Dungeon Bros has many good points on his side, such the enjoyable cooperative multiplayer and the smart aesthetic, but has also numerous flaws that prevents it to be an overly good dungeon crawler.

A mildly fun multiplayer experience at best, and a flawed, derivative dungeon crawler at worst. Good for some fun with friends in short bursts, but has a knack for growing old rather quickly, especially when venturing out solo.

It isn’t an awful game, but it sorely is in need of retooling, especially when it comes to co-op play.

I'll admit I was looking forward to Super Dungeon Bros before playing. I love the genre, and a caricatured metal mash-up could have been interesting, but the game disappoints on all fronts. I like how much emphasis React put on co-op but it needed more under the hood - more choices for character building, more control, more abilities, just more.

Super Dungeon Bros isn't an awful game but it does itself no favours at the same time. If you manage to convince three friends to pick it up it can be fun, otherwise you may find yourself disappointed.

Super Dungeon Bros. is one of those games that is best described as inoffensive. It doesn't do anything wrong, but at the same time it doesn't do anything right, either. It is a perfectly fine multiplayer experience for roughly an hour or so, before things start to get boring and blend together. Single-player is not nearly as enjoyable, and the online player-base is essentially completely dead, but if you can wrangle up a friend (or three), there are certainly worse ways to spend an afternoon.

In theory this is pleasantly presented no-frills coop-action with cartoon visuals. But the technical foundation is not sound enough. Loading times, camera positions, framerate and collision detection are substandard.

Super Dungeon Bros is not the first Games with Gold title this year that seems to have been rushed to release, unfortunately. It's broken in many ways and boring in several others. To the former, those issues can be resolved and the studio at the helm seems intent on doing so, but even if those blemishes are addressed, what shall remain will still be a mostly forgettable freebie that can serve some purpose as a couch co-op game. With better options for sale even in its own genre, it's more likely that SDB will sit in your digital library without a chance of ever actually taking up hard drive space.

There are good ideas in Super Dungeon Bros, such as the inclusion of challenges, the Call of Duty-esque upgrades, and the team-work centred dungeon-crawling. Where it falls down is at the basics: good, satisfying combat and challenging gameplay.
