Roguelike top-down action/adventure game
Dandy Ace is a roguelike RPG that places a great deal of focus on acquiring magical skills and navigating through a vast open-world palace. The main goal is to defeat numerous enemies before escaping to the outside world with the help of a magic mirror.
Players will need to collect a series of skill cards that unlock specific powers. In terms of upgrades, it is similar to other platforms, such as Magic Duels. However, users are also provided with a top-down perspective when exploring different levels and fighting mythical creatures.
Fun and bizarre enemies to encounter
The humorous nature of Dandy Ace is further reinforced with the help of cleverly named opponents, such as “Axolangelo” and “Scissorella.” This allows Dandy Ace to be perfectly suitable for players of all ages.
Over-the-top battles
There is also a significant amount of emphasis placed on fighting enemies. Players will use their skill cards to unlock powerful melee and combination attacks, impacting multiple opponents simultaneously and leading to even more interesting outcomes. Developers claim that more than 1,000 combos are possible.
Resource farming
Players will need to search for various resources throughout the game. Items known as “trinkets” are particularly useful, as these can be used to obtain power-ups and gain permanent skills. The sheer variety of magical cards also provides a host of customized character builds.
More than melee alone
At first glance, Dandy Ace may appear similar to other roguelike games, such as Hades, but less emphasis is placed on hack-and-slash tactics. Users will instead need to use a fair amount of strategy in order to empower themselves with the right skills at the appropriate times. Nonetheless, there is plenty of fast-paced action to enjoy.
