I like that the game play is fun, you can level up different characters and set them up with weapon setups.There is no need to wait between game play because you don't need to use energy or stamina or anything in order to play unlike most games on Facebook.
The monster slash and bash game style is fun and cutesy with everyone having big heads, eyes and short anime bodies. I enjoy the element of strategy that is essential in surviving dungeons later in the game, whether it be using the environmental hazards as protection from monsters or advancing on enemy swarms with berserkers/samurais in the front and rangers/magicians laying support fire from the back.
The only game killing aspect of Dungeon Rampage is the lag problem. It was a slight issue a few months back when I first played DR, it wasn't so bad because everyone just refreshed the game between battles and everything was fine. Now the second time I'm playing, the lag is worse because it starts moments into the game and ruins the whole game play. If this isn't resolved it could spell the downfall of Dungeon Rampage.
Strategies
Teams
In order to make it to the end of the dungeons you'll absolutely need to team up with some fellow adventurers.Diversify your teams classes, this means dividing your team into rows.
People in the front with big health, so Warriors and Samurais, they have the most health and defense so they can hold their ground, especially during an ambush.
Back row needs to be the artillery players, so Rangers and Magicians, these guys are capable of doing lots of damage but have no health to speak of so need to keep distance from monsters. Artillery units are able to attack enemies from a distance so this is very useful when picking off loose monsters that the front line cant afford to chase after. And artillery units are able to engage the enemy before most enemies can engage, therefore artillery units will be able to thin out the enemy forces before the battle begins.
Support units are worth considering, rangers are able to use healing scrolls to heal themselves and nearby team mates, but mana is limited and rangers are more valuable as attackers. So the chef is worthy of consideration since they can make food to heal and can provide some attacking support.
Friends With Benefits
Add Dungeon Rampage friends that you can send gifts back and forth, ideally health bombs because it is a major inconvenience to battle through a dungeon just to be taken by surprise by an ambush, so having a supply of health bombs on hand come in very handy.Also experience boosters are helpful to raise levels faster.
Tips & Tricks
If you don't have health bombs and everyone has died in battle, having a friend in the dungeon with you gives the opportunity for you or your friend to leave and rejoin the dungeon, the returning player will spawn on top of the fallen comrade and will be able to revive him/her instantly and have a second chance to win the battle.Note: The player that leaves will forfeit his/her experience/coin bonus obtained prior to leaving the dungeon, but everyone who stays will retain their full bonus'.
