Delver, The Best Dungeon Crawler for Android?

There are a lot of games that claim to be the best dungeon crawler on mobile devices, but are they all really that good? Surely there is one that stands above the rest, and I believe that Delver is that game.

Delver is a 3D pixel filled dungeon crawler with touch screen controls. There are seven randomly generated dungeons to explore and beat. As you carefully make your way through the pixel world you will find enemies a plenty and new weapons and armor to equip. There are also potions that heal you but some of them are mystery potions that could heal you or chip away at your health slowly.

Although there are are only seven levels in the game, the size of them and the fact they are randomly generated make up for it. Each time through will be different and fun. There is nothing to memorize to help you in another play through. It will be just as difficult each time through. Speaking of the difficulty, there is permadeath.

Permadeath is awesome for many reasons. Firstly, you are much more careful. Any corner could mean death, adding a considerable amount of tension to the game. All it takes is one good hit from the right bad guy to seriously screw your chance of finishing. I think this is great, but it makes this the type of game you can't play easily on a bus or in public. All it takes is looking away from one second to get you killed and having to start back at the first level.

The best part about the controls on this game are that you actually have the option to change the sensitivity of the looking from the options section in the main menu. I love this being an option!

There are dungeon crawlers on Android that have more gameplay elements. There are some that have more levels, more items, and actual character options and RPG elements, so why is this one so good without all that? Because it's fun and simple. There is not much to it, but the atmosphere in this game is awesome and all the elements that are there fit with each other perfectly. If you are a dungeon crawler and enjoyed Ultima Underworld and the other wonderful games of the good old 90' s you should do yourself a favor and pick this one up!
