Read this review if you want to find out why 7th Deep isn't 'just another rpgmaker game'.

7th Deep has a simple premise. Get to the bottom of the dungeon in order to recieve a relic that's supposed to be insane powers. It's nothing new, but it works for this type of game.

You get to choose between seven characters to begin with. 2 are evil, 3 are neutral, and 2 are good. Once you choose a character, you get a 2nd character (who isn't a part of the beginning crew) shortly after and then finally as you go along you'll recruit a 3rd member from the other beginning characters you didn't choose at the start.

Each character is competely different from each other. Who you choose MATTERS. One character can kill NPCs for extra loot. One can drink the blood of NPCs to heal. One can craft healing items from herbs. One will cause you to find extra tresure chests. And there's more, but I'll let you find it out yourself.

Over the 50 floors, you'll find a great diversity in what is going on. There are puzzles, traps, teleporters, and more to deal with. Weak enemies will randomly run around, allowing you get the jump on them for an extra free turn. More challanging enemies will chase you down, and can get an extra turn on you if you don't face them in time.

The difficulty isn't too hard, at least on the normal difficulty. I haven't tried "survival mode" yet. However, if you do find yourself being overpowered, the game does have the ability to teleport back to previous floors for grinding. You even get to re-open previous chests to get more loot. In this respect, you can choose whether to go straight forward for difficulty, or grind to make things simplier.

There are 2 endings for each character, and 7 characters to begin your adventure with. Replay value is through the roof. And with each run taking around 9 or 10 hours, you will absolutely get your moneys worth at just $2.99.

It's not a bad Dungeon Crawler, if you're looking for an RPGMaker dungeon crawler. I have to recommend Dragons' Twilight (made by the same developer) over this game. Decent playable character variety. Reminded me of 7th Saga a couple of times in terms of playable characters and choosing your partner, which I assume is intentional since the game is called 7th Deep.

The story isn't anything too remarkable, which is understandable since this is just a dungeon crawler. Normal Mode felt too easy once I had decent Aspers equipped, while Hardcore Mode's rules look intimidatingly hard.

Basically, it's a game you beat with each character once and come back to a later to see more endings or play on Hardcore Mode.

To fans of proper dungeon survival games, start with Hardcore Mode.

A simple game with some surprising depth. I t has replayability due to the number of characters you can choose ( 7) and can be combined into any team of 3 or less. There are several save slots and if you find yourself fighting monsters beyond your ability you can teleport back to a location and redo the levels for more experience. If you like this type of game I highly recommend 7th Deep, and you can't go wrong at this price.

i think it's a great game

This is the first game i have written about and i have to say, its a great little game. Reminds me of the games i played growning up. This game gives exactly what it promises, a 90's style rpg however the game can be a little light on storyline.

All said and done this game is well worth the price and a great little gem that desevers a place in your library!

9/10 stars (or whatever you use)

This is a decent little dungeon crawler, and there's some versatility in the way you choose to play through based on who you choose as your "hero" and the party you arrange, at least as far as your interactions with NPCs go and how your team fights. If you're coming to this game looking for a deep story, you aren't going to find it. There is a hint of a plotline there, but it only pops up occasionally and isn't really a significant part of the gameplay. If you like turn-based battles and solving puzzles to get to treasure, this game will scratch that itch for you. There are some things that I would have liked to see set up a little differently, but considering how little this game costs, I feel like I can't really complain about wishing for extra features. Overall, I would say that I'm satisfied with this game, although not overwhelmed by it.

I have played this game completely through 2 times and working on another play through.

If you like dungeon crawl games I highly recommend this game. It is fun and addictive, with a few good puzzles thrown in the mix.

I have only played for a short while, but wanted to pop in and say that I am loving this game. It's a little different than other RPGs (no blue sky in sight, nor an Inn), and I like the difference. Makes a nice change.

Anyway, I highly recommend this game for those players who want to have fun with an easier to play game.

Additional:

After having played for quite a few hours and experimented with which characters work best, I know now which my 2 favourite characters are. The first one is mad, bad, and dangerous to know, and I love him. :)

This is a very fun and entertaining game. What I really like is that in the battles, my characters never miss and the enemies never evade. I have always found that extremely tiresome.

Can't say more, except that it's unique in many ways.

Hi All,

I've been watching a Let's Play of the game by Edward Shirazhands: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5Am8fjrk4zHU970Erixx1tGx2s2Xn7h5.

Because of that I bought and it's been great fun. Highly recommend it for anyone into the old RPG games. There is enough within the combat to make it interesting and it was a fun game all round especially for it's price.

Cheers!

Just... no, dont buy it, its like my first game, written by apes in RPG maker.

You know when you have to make a tutorial and follow a guide, then this is not even as good as that, its like they finished part of a tutorial on how to make a game and then released FOR MONEY!

1 hour of my life, i could have been spent platting pubes into a nice scarf!
