Review summary

Dread Rune is praised for its fun roguelike hack and slash gameplay, destructible environments, and variety of items, with an active developer improving the game. However, players frequently report clunky controls, hitbox issues, and frustrating weapon durability. The intrusive and loud ads significantly detract from the experience. The game's graphics and large GUI may feel dated to some. Overall, it offers enjoyable gameplay with room for polish and improvements in controls, UI, and ad management.

Cons

Clunky and sometimes unresponsive controls leading to frustrating combat experiences.
Hitbox and aiming issues causing unfair hits and combat difficulties.

Ad system is intrusive, with loud volume control issues and repetitive, lengthy ads.
Graphical aspects such as low polygon style and large crowded GUI considered dated or awkward by some users.

2026-03-23	Se*****	absolutely worst rpg I've ever played. the movement is so wacky and frustrating, walls and floors collapse like they're biscuits I end up always falling through some hidden hole somewhere.

2025-07-30	De*****	I think Dread Rune is one of those games that should NEVER stop being worked on and improved! There is greatness in this game! The destructible dungeon environments and colorfully animated creatures really stand out to me! I think the graphics are fine [different] and the controls have been improved! Excellent game! I paid money to get rid of the ads!

2025-03-09	Da*****	It took me a bit to find a mobile dungeon crawler i liked. The demo for this game really sold me. I really like the norse theme. This is one of the only mobile games I've ever paid for. My only recommendation would be to add a bit more variety to the enemy types and weapons available.

2025-02-20	Ja*****	Super fun janky dungeon crawler with heavy replayability. Charming low Polly look with clunky controls to suite. Tons of unlockables and challenges, well worth the low cost to get the full game. One of the only mobile games I've ever purchased and do not regret it one bit. Once you play, you can get hooked. No forced ads is a huge pro, only view ads for a bonus to your run.
