A short and simple roguelike with nice pixel art. It's super cheap and fun for a good bit so no complaints here.

I picked this game up during the Steam Summer Sale for only .50$, and so far it's been an great casual game, somewhat similar to The Binding of Isaac. Although lacking in depth and length, this is a fun game to waste a bit of time on and would highly recommend picking it up.

If I could give this a neutral rating, I would. Let's do the pro / con thing since it's more easily skimmed. And we'll start with the Cons to put this review into neutral territory. The Bad. -The game is mostly short with not a lot of content. -There's little in the way of combat variety, and some mechanics that were intended to be used don't really work that well. -Customization lacks depth and is mostly unnoticeable. -Most every enemy (including bosses) can be kited. - The first ending is underwhelming. Overall more could've involved me in the story or theme going on. -Enemy variety is not very good. -Even with randomization the environments are pretty drab. The ??? -The roguelike mechanics of the game are rather unusual. -Some things are never explained, leading to confusion. -Artwork is so-so. -I don't remember the music at all. -You never feel overly powerful or overly pathetic. The Good! -It's kinda fun for a while. -The death / tokens system is pretty fluid and makes the game fun. -The randomization / death system does help break up the monotonous combat / stages. -if you're having a poorly executed run, there are opportunities to turn it around. Mostly around regaining health. -The dynamic camera works pretty well. Summary If you can grab it for dirt cheap, it can provide you a few hours of good fun. Then you can toss it over your shoulder and never look at it again. But hey, it was cheap.

Game is like Binding of Isaac meets Zelda(like a lot o previous reviewers has already pointed out). Can't say I had any big hopes but it's cheap and I thought what the hell. Now, I've played 10h plus and I'm still going. Everytime I enter the dungeon is different, all rooms are randomly generated and you'll never know what's behind that next door! Personally I think the level up system is really cool; the better you get, the tougher the monsters get. That's what it's all about, eh? No being level. 100 and slaughtering small level. 1's. Also, there are a lot of cool and useful perks/boosts that you can find while exploring the dungeon, wich adds to this great experience! It's on sale for another week! Buy it!

[Edit] An option was added by the devs to remove the flashing! Now i've gotta come up with other things to talk about in the Review :D I'm a really big fan of action roguelikes, so I'm quite happy to see more coming out and I instantly wanted to give this a shot. My first reaction to seeing the trailer was to think that the game may be too derivative of The Binding of Isaac, but luckily I tried out the game and saw how wrong I was. This game has a striking resembalance to The Binding of Isaac, as they're both of the same genre and are both seemingly inspired by older entires in the Zelda franchise. The similarites don't go too far though, as it appears that Isaac was based off of the original Zelda, with every room having exactly the same dimensions, whereas Diehard has more similarities to Zelda: A Link to the Past. The result is a much more organic experience, and your adventure focuses more on each unique room, rather than dungeon floors made up of maze of bland square areas. The combat mechanics are also more developed, with the delver having a Zeldaesque sword for his primary attack, and a very interesting gun for his secondary attack. This gun shoots bombs, which can cause damage to enemies on both impact and explosion, but cannot hurt the player directly. The explosions of bombs push back both enemies and the player, and with the bombs propensity to ricochet around a room, it can make using it effectively quite tricky. This results in deeper, trickier combat mechanics than one would expect, and adds a certain richness. A final added bonus Diehard Dungeon has over BoI is that it doesn't rely on blood, poop, tears and gore to have an atmospheric experience. Overall it was a good experience, and with the low price tag the devs seem to be selling themselves short, though it does certainly help spread the love faster :) [Original Complaint] While the gameplay was fairly enjoyable, the game overuses a visual effect which makes the entire screen flash white very quickly without warning. I play far too many videogames, and I'm virtually never affected by any kind of flashing lights(besides the seizure inducing flashes in Guacamelee!) but these flashes are definitely responsible for giving me a headache, and turning an entertaining experience into a negative one. If this is patched out, I'd gladly give this game a thumbs up and would definitely give it another go, but at this point it's getting shelved after only a few runs. [/Original Complaint]
