The flood of roguelike games in the previous decade has made its stay on Steam. Dungeon Souls makes a quick pick-up n' play where you, as one of the 10 classes, have to search for marks that'll activate the portal to the next floor in the dungeon. You'll encounter bosses, uncover secrets and build your character based on your stats, skills and passive items you find. The passive item feature is the greatest contributor to the fun of the game, which affects your abilities in combat and environment.

Having played it right after amounts trials-and-errors, I've had my warrior character run through the monsters like a tank donned with razor-blades. The class and crafting systems are good incentives for replay value. Even the bosses, hidden levels and miscellaneous characters give some depth to the back story of the world and the plot, unveiling further the conspiracy that you're seemingly caught into, as of why you ended up here in the first place.

Even then, it can only keep me coming back for so much, due to the content limits (which is still satisfactory) and for my other game commitments.
