Roughly two and a half years ago, Onion Games and publisher DMM released an absolute gem of a game in Dandy Dungeon: The Legend of Brave Yamada. It combined roguelike elements with puzzle solving and ridiculous characters to make for an experience dramatically different than most other games clogging up the various app stores. I gave it a 9.5 and if you’d like to try it out for yourself right now, you can’t. Late last year, DMM shut the service down, though anyone who already had it could download an update that allowed them to play it on their device with microtransactions, a few dungeons, and a few other features removed.
Like many mobile games, this could have meant Dandy Dungeon would be lost to the ages, surviving only on those devices that could run it after the final update. Thankfully, like so many other titles, it’s finding new life on Switch with a port that retains the charm and zaniness of the original version without those pesky free-to-play elements.
