Is It Any Good?
DUNGEON RAID appears to be a fairly simple game on the surface, but it is very addictive -- you may find yourself playing "just one more game." The game consists of a grid of icons: treasures, health potions, shields, weapons, and monsters. You draw a path connecting matching icons to collect them, and then new icons fill the screen from the top. To kill monsters, you match them to each other and the weapons.
As you collect items, you can level up your own skills, armor, and weapons -- but the monsters get tougher as well. Eventually you can unlock new classes with different skills. The game is simple but well-designed, and is a real delight to play.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
