Sure we have a long way to go. *WE WERE A LONG WAY DOWN*. Buck up. Seriously what the fuck. Go read about propaganda & how it works for good.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Brief: Pros + Unique path-building element + Requires you to use your brain + Decently smart AI Cons - Priced harshly for an Early Access title - Not much content currently - Very buggy Skip to the bottom for my final thoughts Breakdown: Gameplay If you think you've seen something like A Long Way Down before, you wouldn't be wrong. While not exactly an original idea nowadays (games like Hand of Fate, Darkest Dungeon and Slay the Spire), A Long Way Down manages to combine many staple RPG…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction A Long Way Down is a new deck builder from new developers, Seenapsis Studio. The story is quite interesting, with you taking the role of Sam, a recently dead American waking in the dungeons of Limbo. Speaking with Sam via spirit phone is the priestess, Ma'bri, who is performing Sam's funeral rites as we play. She guides Sam in the use of some spirit cards stolen from the Dungeon Master, who apparently rules over Limbo. Or something. It's your job to guide Sam through the game's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, and fascinating concept. But.... I beat the game in 9 hours, and I wasn't at all trying to go fast. There's just not much content. What there is is great and beautiful, but... I saw this complain in an early access in January. Sadly, Ijust assumed that my its launch over 8 months later it would have more content. I would have settled for 20 hours. Nope.

Is this game a masterpiece? No, it is still in Early Access, but it is fun to play already. Not sure why, but I enjoyed the game maybe more than I should. The card variety is a bit limited, but this made the gameplay relaxing and not too complicated. It is a card battler, all fights are resolved through turn-based card battles. Prepare you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The genre of this game is right up my alley, so I was realy hoping to prove the negative reviews wrong. Sadly, its true. Its already half a year out of EA, and there are still pretty big bugs in there, for example items that go missing from your backpack in the first level. Thats just not accetable anymore after such a while. Gameplay wise, it is an okay game. It felt pretty slow, repetative and boring, but definately not bad. Just mediocre. Like the other reviews said: there are better games…

A Long Way Down is a roguelite, turn-based, dungeon path-building game with card-driven battles. Please note that this review is written in the very beginning of the Early Access period, and so so encountering bugs and unintended errors are expected. Hopefully things will only improve from here. The basic tutorial in the beginning teaches…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's still a buggy mess. I bought it thinking they surely fixed everything now if it comes out of EA but no. For starters the UI bugs out if you try to swap equipment. Text overlays each other in cutscenes sometimes. And best of all: loading a new level can get you stuck without a new map appearing and the menu freezing up, basically forcing you to alt-f4. Even if everything worked perfectly the game still looks ugly. The card UI and layout somehow looks really bad, and mousover doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played for 21 hours and probably will play even more. I finished the game in 7 hours and I was so disappointed that it is all for now... So I was messing around with different playstyles for next 14 hours of game play. I like the art I like the combat system I like the upgrade system I like the dungeon master trolling you. I hope this project will be finished and I will have more fun... I will probably finish the game without upgrades and maybe then I can leave it alone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely buggy. Crashes a lot. Can't get the cursor to work sometimes. I've played for 8 hours and had to quit in and out again three times now (I think). It looks like only 10% of players can even get past level 3. I've been stuck here for about four hours, trying over and over. How long is this game?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game still has game breaking bugs, like not being able to place tiles correctly or unable to move to some spaces

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game but I'm now finding it unplayable as it keeps locking up in combat. Shame I'm passed the point of no return for a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that sadly falls short of the standards set by its peers. Play any other deckbuilding rougelike out there, and you'll probably have a better time. The biggest issues: - A lot of mechanics and math, but minimal resulting strategy. The facts that you keep cards in hand and that your deck doesn't cycle, combined with a restrictive draw means you'll often just play all the cards available. - You'd think that meant the strategic focus was on the deckbuilding, but besides stat buffs and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game starts really well but turns into a slog that forces you to replay previous missions over and over again for upgrade currency, random equipment and consumables while constantly screwing you by random tile placements from dungeon master and incredible power level spike in the last chapter. I honestly didn't have fun after beating the second boss because of that, and two soft locks, which happened because I dared to click on tiles too fast, did not help that at all. I honestly have no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it sits A Long Way Down feels a long way from complete, the balance overall doesn't feel like it's quite there, and there are a number of bugs I've encountered in a relatively short span of time. The most prevalent being between level s of the Story Mode, I have had cutscenes that have cut off, Load screens that made me question whether my computer was at fault, and level transitions that have appeared offcenter, and unclickable. I have purchased this title and hope that it receives the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good concept hiding under mediocre implementation. Needed more thought put into ensuring particular systems are fun while maintain player agency so that games don’t feel like they are won or lost based on a RNG roll instead of skill (looking at you dungeon keeper playing a randomly selected tile from the player at end of turn). Also there appears to be lots of minor bugs which is not something you want to see outside of early access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The afterlife will be filled with map tile placement puzzles and deck building card battles. At least the googlies will droop sweet loot to equip, and there are friends to be made - death seems ok https://youtu.be/nwddivZL8kw
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm enjoying it so far. While I can assume a lot of content has yet to be added, I'm enjoying how it shares unique mechanics from other great deck builders (Slay the Spire, Deck of Ashes, and Deep Space Derelicts) mixed in with the clever concept of allowing the player to modify the labyrinthine strategic map as the EVIL AI works to thwart your building of pathways to the map's objectives.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playtime: 42 minutes Intro In ALWD you place terrain pieces to move between floating "islands". Along the way you collect things and battle enemies. Battles involve playing three of a few cards from your hand. Cards either deal damage, heal, inflict/remove curses or boost/reduce attack/defense. The Good ALWD is a weird one because it has solid production value for an indie game, but terrible gameplay. The art looks good, the effect are nice and various other parts (cards, interface, etc.)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“A Long Way Down”. is a deck-building roguelike RPG card game in the same vein as “Slay the Spire”. Unlike “Slay the Spire” you begin the game with a pre-built deck that you build before your run changing if you happened to come across an armoury. rather than advancing through branching paths instead you build a map in front of you a mechanic not too dissimilar to Guild of Dungeoneering a decent game that we reviewed a few years ago. as you progress through the map you encounter enemies and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Follow our curator for similar games https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/ Dungeon crawling and building mashed with Slay the Spire like elements + unique mechanics - short = Nice EA game that breaks out of the current mold of card battlers. Fun and shows a lot of potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 cant finish the game cause of bugs, shame + solid game speed + music + decent card system + was enjoying the story + you can get more players in your party - but one player can take all the turns, weird..... - if that guy could not mess with my tiles right after i drop them.... BUGS - walked through walls on a tile, should not be able to do that weird bug where the game said failure right when i started a floor and dropped my 1st piece, it didn't do anything and i was able to finish the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game, it has a lot going for it, but it feels early access when even when it's fully out. Maybe it's because I'm playing it on mac, but the UI bugs out in various places and makes it hard to enjoy the game as much as I think I would if it were to work properly. One such example of UI bugging out is when equipping abilities (cards) - it says to click and drag to equip them, but when I drag the card doesn't move, and it makes the whole process a chore when it seems like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it sits right now, A Long Way Down is an incomplete game that is hampered by bugs - but this is an Early Access title so I can forgive this. That said, I can't say I was particularly all that interested in this game; nor was I particularly interested in the element of 'farming' that this game seems to encourage. The gimmick of this card rogue-like is that you are given an incomplete dungeon layout - a lot of tiles will be floating in, well, Limbo, and you will 'build' your path through the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Right now it's a pass for me. This game was on my wish list for a long time. I was very excited when I got an email it was available. I didn't play too far in before losing interest. The "puzzle-like" navigation is a turn off for me. I'm going to keep an eye on this as it continues to develop.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying so far! Great art direction and sound track. Mechanics are a mix of Darkest Dungeon combat with deck building. And navigating the map is very puzzle like. Enjoying a lot worth checking out :D My Gameplay: https://youtu.be/XaSYkYBxoHY
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, but it is very lackluster, grindy, and repetitive. thank the lord its achievements were easy to accomplish so I may never touch this game again. BTW the resurrection Idol needed to complete the potion achievement is in a chest on chapter 2 level 1.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no better word to describe A Long Way Down other than lack luster. Gameplay is incredibly boring and repetitive, and its a shame too as the concept seemed like it would work on paper. The game tries to be way too complex and simple both at the same time. With combat being a loop of buff, debuff and attack until your enemies die with very little variety. Enemy designs are also very scarce. The overall puzzle aspect of the game seemed fresh at first but after awhile felt very gimicky.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing interesting about this game. a lot of better games out there
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The characters are kinda interesting, but the game is not very interesting or innovative. Ultimately the cards are just not to imaginative and the tile building mechanic kills any momentum the story would build. Anti-cathartic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reckon the game was a tad short (not counting The Pit mode which I didn't bother with much) but it was interesting enough to play through. The graphics were cute and the upgrade mechanics were interesting enough to make me wanna farm and upgrade my characters enough to make beating the final boss easy. I think I can recommend the game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay for price is fine, although I'm not sure it really offers anything particularly groundbreaking in the genre of roguelite cardgames.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Long Way Down, a game déjà vu with Hand of Fate, Darkest Dungeon, and Slay the Spire, merges RPG bits into a decent rogue-lite smoothie. Deck-building is the main deal—grab cards, build a killer hand. My deck stayed put; why fix what ain't broke? Upgrade the sword, go legendary, slay monsters. The twist? Dungeon Master messes with your cards, making it chess with a devious mummy. Companions? More like background noise. Rogue-lite? Death's an upgrade ticket, feels earned but cheap. Story's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a very mediocre deck builder.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't know why reviews are allowed, game was made without considering the use of a keyboard.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/ A long way down it's a mix of card game with roguelike with rpg with kind of puzzle floor and a lot of genre more. Normally when some game put all that together make a bad mix, but i'm glad to tell this time isn't the case, the game is polished and solid and the characters of the game are well made. The idea of add floors in the map looks pretty well and it's fun, but the battle part feels like a bit slow and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full disclosure - I received a code for this game. If you're curious about the gameplay and feel of the title, feel free to check out my video below, but all in all, I had a good time with A Long Way Down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2eQ3m32rQI&feature=youtu.be It's got some really interesting gameplay mechanics and I'm eager to see how it evolves (don't get me wrong, there's quite a few bits I think need a bit of fine-tuning) but there's the skeleton there for a great game. That being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO you dig stylistic visuals, Card based combat, and Slay the Spire aesthetics all around? That's what you get here in ALWD - only it has it's own charms and merits, of course. Building on the foundation of STS gaming, you are playing in a random dungeon with enemies that you fight in typical RPG style, turn based - but all your moves are cards. They aren't re-inventing the wheel for the battles, so I'm gonna skip the explanation - it works fine. The parts where it starts to vary from STS is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I totally recommend if you like to play 1-slay the spire 2-darkest dungeon and tactical RPG style card/skill spell games. Here is why: The game has some different mechanics you can enjoy; -puzzle style organic and living map + random events controlled with turn base before combat phase. -item and card drops related to gameplay and usability of different thousand combo and gaming style combinations. -in some situations, more than 1 hero control and combat complexity will increase in even a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Constantly crashes or bugs out. Unacceptable even for Early Access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4 hours in. It's addictive. I like the progression. There are puzzles, which you can ignore if you want, but there are quest rewards for beating them. I like replaying the boards. I like improving my character. I like this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its ok but how u use resurrect a hero card? when he dies in fight hes gone its very short game looks like they abandon it cool concept though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh look. Yet another roguelite deckbuilding card game. I swear 1 in 10 games released now is one of these; everyone wants to make the next Slay the Spire. That's exactly what this feels like, a cheap Slay the Spire clone. It's top down and has some tile placement, but that part is boring and the battle tactics are mostly "SPAM Healing while attacking sometimes". Go buy / play Slay the Spire instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isn't my cup of tea. The MC is a male, the card system in the workshop and building battle deck is utterly boring and unattractive. Cartoonish graphics and bland dialogues. Still it has its charms. Cartoonish graphics when you get used to it add fun to the game. The Card battle system is easy and intuitive. And the cast of side characters makes the game overall bearable. Not a bad game for one time playthrough or time killing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its getting there
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game in it's genre. (Roquelite deckbuilding). Too short in its current form. You have just begun to build up your deck, upgrading cards and items and game... ENDS! I'll sure hope to get more content soon. Pros: +Great tactic level play +Great combat +Great idea about forging, creating and upgrading stuff +Deckbuilding; upgrading and collecting cards is always fun Cons: - Game ends as soon as you are beginning to enjoy and staring forging, creating and upgrading stuff
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After a few hours of play asked refund, boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Linear rogue-like? Say no more, this game is not worth it at all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing Game. I love the idea of creating your own path in the dungeon. The combat is fun and interesting and sharing actions between characters really makes you think about what to use and when. Here is some gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb1-47NGaQM
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A mission based, deck builder, with random maps that must be modified by placing tiles to get through. That is it’s main hook, with you needing to build paths, destroy walls and rotate tiles to move between sections of the map. On the campaign maps, you will find campfires (healing), chests, creatures and other things which you can try and interact with or just avoid. Your tiles are limited so you usually can’t go everywhere. Complicating matters is a dungeon master that will steal your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just not it, game is clunky even in the tutorial and doesn't show any evident depth to its mechanics - plus you can fail out of the tutorial because the AI plays your map tiles for you? Awful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, straightforward but very fun. The basics don't take long to explain. You navigate your way through a series of dungeons while facing monsters with a deck of 15 cards. These can be damage dealers, lie a thrust attack,buffs that increase your defense or grant healing over time, a combination of those two. like cards that deal damage and transfer that damage onto you as health points. To navigate through this dungeon you use "slabs" which are building blocks basically, with different edges.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/pjOwa8zzZ7Q Including an antagonist as an active participant in the map actions falls flat as the moves made appear random and have limited impact on player choice.
