Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Yer friendly app pirate is excited to explore another island for more booties. Me heard that our next stop has a dungeon, and that makes it feel more exciting. This old salt feels like a knight saving a princess whenever I think of a dungeon. When I was little lad, me and my friends would play as knights with our swords, fighting imaginary dragons and evil enemies. Har, har, har. Aye, this old salt had always been into adventure since I was young. As ye may already know, that’s also the reason why me love games with dungeons on them like the one we will review. So, lend me yer ears me hearties and let me tell ye more about this app called IQ Dungeon by Hirameku.
It’s not your usual puzzle game
IQ Dungeon has its fresh take on your usual puzzle game. While most puzzle games have random puzzles on each level, the puzzles on this app are related to each other because they follow a story. Although some levels are similar, they are too repetitive as similar games. Plus, besides completing the levels, you also follow a story, which will keep you more hooked in the game.
It has simple but eye-catching graphics and fun music
The graphics is simple but it’s eye-catching because it’s neat. There are also different things to see since the main character will explore different places in the kingdom and dungeon. The animation is also smooth, and the music is soothing. It’s like the ones you would hear on magical and adventure animations or films. It will not distract you from the game even if it’s turned, but rather it makes it more engaging.
It will make you think out of the box
The levels are fast-paced and you have a mission for each, which is written on the top part of the game window. Some levels are easy and obvious, but others are more challenging as they would make you think out of the box. These challenging levels make the game more interesting, instead of boring. There are also hints in case you get stuck in a level.
It’s free but with ads after every level
You can download and play the game for free. It comes with in-app purchase, although you will not feel forced to make a purchase. There are ads that you can watch to earn in-game currency, but there are also forced ads after every level that play before you can move to the next level. However, considering it’s an interesting, unique, and fun free game, you could give it a slack for these ads.
The pros
The app is free to download and play. It has fast-paced, interesting levels with varying difficulties. It has a story and the puzzles are not too repetitive. The graphics and background music are also impressive.
The cons
It has ads after every level, but it’s not really a huge drawback since it’s a free and enjoyable app.
The verdict
If you are into puzzle games, add IQ Dungeon on your list and you will not be disappointed. The puzzles will make you think and the story will make you look forward to what happens next.
