Gumballs & Dungeons is a free-to-play roguelike dungeon crawler developed by Qcplay. This mobile port blends dungeon exploration with Gumball collection, offering a free-to-play experience for PC players. The game emphasizes team building, procedural dungeons, and simplified controls, making it ideal for players who wish to play this on a bigger screen.

Gumballs & Dungeons makes its roguelike experience simple without taking too much from the original port. Explore dungeons, collect Gumballs, and create the best team with your friends or other gamers. Another great feature of the game is the ability to create procedurally generated dungeons, so no map is the same.

Explore, collect, and build

Gumballs & Dungeons has a simple premise: collect hundreds of Gumballs with unique abilities. How will you do that? By raiding one of over twenty themed dungeons. If you want to grind even more, there’s also an Endless Mode for more serious players. Every dungeon is procedurally generated so every run is unique. You can raid on your own or with the help of your team.

Story-wise, there’s no narrative to tell besides that you can lead your Gumballs to beat the Evil Dominator of the Erathia Continent. The art style is reminiscent of the Pokemon games with its own distinct dungeon fantasy design. The soundtrack is another thing that compliments the game in a big way: grassy tunes and energetic songs are there to fill the atmosphere.

While the PC port is great, many players are complaining about the vertical mobile port format, which needs to be landscape. It also features some cartoon violence and cigarette use, which can polarize some audiences. Players might find the lack of story depth limiting as well. Nonetheless, the game's low-spec requirements and overall engaging and entertaining gameplay offer a compelling experience.

Near perfect, if it wasn’t for the vertical format

Gumballs & Dungeons offers a delightful roguelike experience, blending dungeon exploration with Gumball collection and team building. The game's mechanics, including procedural dungeons and Gumball abilities, aim to provide an engaging and varied experience. However, the mobile port format and lack of story depth may not suit all players. Thankfully, its low-spec requirements and engaging gameplay offer enough entertainment value.
