Super Dungeon Bros

Overview -

'Super Dungeon Bros' comes to us from Utah-based React Games (previously known as Studio 4d1), which has made a name for itself developing mostly mobile and social media games. 'Super Dungeon Bros' is billed as a co-op rock-themed dungeon crawler. The game debuts as one of the Xbox Games With Gold for early November but is also available for PC and PS4. At the time of writing there's some free DLC, the 'Broettes' pack.

Video Review

Ranking:

This is a colorful, bright game but not particularly advanced with its visuals. The procedural dungeons all look samey before too long, although there are different areas with their own themes. The framerate isn't bad but as I mentioned before, the controls aren't very responsive and my character has a tendency to not jump where I want it to, throw items in the wrong direction, and so forth.

Audio Review

Ranking:

'Super Dungeon Bros' doesn't have a great variety of music and mostly fails at any attempt to sympathize with the metal genre, even in a satirical capacity. The voice acting is repetitive and I tended to turn down the audio as I played, to listen to my friends' voice comms or something else entirely.

Final Thoughts

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.
