                   Review by Graham Raven

Let's start on a good note. The title of this game is pretty good!
Add to that the fact that the background story isn't the worst
I've ever heard either and there you have all the good points of
this game.

Dungeons of Death is a small game which is pretty repetitive and
you quickly feel very aware of this fact. In no time at all you
quickly find yourself going round in circles, having picked up all
the available treasure whilst dodging monsters and wondering what
else is there to do? You can attack the monsters if you like but
it seems largely a waste of time as the attack mode is more or
less useless. No matter how many cross bow bolts you fire at an
enemy you appear to have very little chance of hitting it even at
point blank range. Spells may work better - I admit that I didn't
try them as it wasn't necessary, just keep moving and little harm
will come to you. Go around in circles long enough and you'll find
a key which will open the door to the next level, where exactly
the same process will be repeated all over again.

Find your way to the deepest dungeon level, find the king's crown
and teleport to the throne room! This game does not challenge the
imagination!
