First up is Gear Diary with no score:
Soldak produces games that appeal to fans of classic games with hardware requirements low enough that just about anyone can play them. They bring back the purity and simplicity of the older randomly generated dungeon crawl games, but with an intelligent challenge created through a dynamic and living world.
Then we have GamersMint with a score of 3.5/5:
That being said, the game overall is a fun package. It has certain innovative factors that makes it click. From dynamic gameplay and randomization to a unique event system and inclusion of a time factor while solving quests, the game certainly defers from the trademark mindless hack n slash established in this genre. All the mentioned factors also add lots of replay value to the game. However bland graphics, dated textures and some irritating bugs certainly makes the game loose a certain bit of appeal but it makes up for it with its strong core gameplay elements and a good co op. Din's Curse is a surprise package from an indie development team and is certainly recommended for anyone having even a passing interest in this genre.
And, finally, Games Are Evil comes in with a score of "A":
All in all, unless you absolutely hate this type of game you are going to L-O-V-E Din's Curse. It keeps the elements that you have come to expect but throws in enough surprises to keep you coming back for more. I'm glad I didn't have to take the review code and proud I gave my money to this company so they can continue to put out awesome work. Congratulations Soldak, you have a hit on your hands.
