Steam New Releases] "Super Dungeon Maker" game review, an action-adventure in which you can create a 2D Zelda-like dungeon!

Dear Akiba Research Institute readers, how are you doing? I'm Nero Hyakkabe, a writer who buys too many games, and I'd like to introduce two new Steam games released in May that I highly recommend. This time, action and puzzle solving are as you wish! This time, we will introduce "Super Dungeon Maker," an action adventure that allows you to create a 2D Zelda-like dungeon.

You can create a 2D Zelda-like dungeon as you wish! Super Dungeon Maker" is an action-adventure game that lets you create a 2D Zelda-like dungeon!


Have you ever thought, "I want to make games, not just play them! Have you ever thought to yourself, "I want to make a game, not just play it! However, it is difficult for ordinary people to create a game from scratch. That is why we introduce "Super Dungeon Maker," a title that allows you to create games with ease.

Super Dungeon Maker" is a dungeon editor game that allows users to create action-adventure games. The first thing that catches the eye is its retro-chic graphics. The visuals evoke the atmosphere of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), which will surely make you nostalgic.

When you start the game, you do not suddenly create a dungeon at ....... Instead, you first control the main character, a chicken, as the player to conquer a short dungeon.
The dungeon is from a 2D overlooking perspective, and in addition to actions such as attacking with weapons and lifting and throwing pots, there are also puzzle-solving elements such as finding keys, opening treasure chests, and opening doors. The game's retro-game-like visuals may remind many players of playing "The Legend of Zelda.

After completing the dungeon crawl, players will go out to a village. In this village, there are a variety of facilities, including facilities where players can create stages, play stages created by other users, learn how to create dungeons, and play dungeons as an example. This village system, which allows players to control their characters and choose what they do, rather than simply making it a menu screen, is a point where the playful spirit of this title can be felt.

The " sandbox " facility is one that should definitely be played before entering into full-scale stage creation. Here, you can learn the know-how of stage creation while operating a chicken through a short dungeon. However, the dungeon cannot be cleared as it is because the path is broken in the middle. This is where the "Create Mode" comes in. The objective of this facility is to complete the dungeon by listening to hints from NPC chicks in the dungeon and switching to "Create Mode" as needed to create a path, place items, and complete the dungeon while aiming for the goal.

It is quite interesting to be able to learn how to use the creation tools while playing the dungeon and actually touching them with your own hands, and even players who are not good at stage creation, thinking that it looks difficult, can enjoy and learn at the same time.

The stage creation in this title allows for the creation of a wide variety of dungeons. You can create dungeons with a high sense of action by placing doors that cannot be opened unless all enemies are defeated, traps such as spinning firebars and spike floors that can be moved in and out, and "feather" items that can be used to jump over holes, as well as keys to open doors and blocks that can be moved by pushing them. Players can create a variety of stages, depending on their imagination, such as making dungeons more puzzle-like by placing keys to open doors and blocks that can be moved by pushing. The creation tools are intuitive and easy to use, and the overall stage creation process seems to be low.

The main attraction of this title is that you can not only create stages, but also "play" them to the fullest. Many dungeons created by users around the world have been uploaded online, and you can play whatever you like from among them. It is nice to have a section where you can search for popular dungeons and new dungeons. In addition, dungeons are assigned IDs, so you can share your recommended dungeons on social networking sites, or advertise the IDs of your own dungeons.

I personally like the fact that the game is controller-compatible; some Steam games can be controlled with a controller, and this "Super Dungeon Maker" is controller-compatible as well. Not only can the action mode of playing dungeons be controlled with a controller, but the create mode can also be controlled with a controller. At first glance, it may seem that creating dungeons would be easier with a PC mouse, but the game is designed for smooth and intuitive operation with a controller, which is a good thing for players who prefer to use a controller.

With the freedom to create your own action-puzzle "Zelda"-style dungeons and publish them online, or play through the many dungeons created by other players, "Super Dungeon Maker" is sure to melt your time away. If you are interested in this game, please play it and create your own impregnable dungeon of pride.
