Soda Dungeon

Say hello to my latest addiction... 
by Armor Games
Basically, you're a nameless coward who can't fight. But there's a dungeon waiting to be explored. But you're nobody. Nobody wanders into a local soda tavern until Somebody hyper was sighted. He was so hyper that he was willing to do dangerous things for you just for soda. So Nobody is a businessman. So Nobody realised a business model.

..and whether or not Somebody thrives. It depends on Nobody. You.

The tavern and the dungeon.
I love how simple it is and its challenge. You hire people to fight for you. You either command their actions or of course, there is always Auto-Combat.
It's somewhat a combination turn based Final Fantasy gameplay and going through stages like in Tap Heroes.
Or maybe there are already games like these but I haven't been playing enough.

As you progress, you'll find spending the gold you find wisely is essential to how fast you progress to the game. Also, if you're serious about completing the game, I do not recommend Auto-Combat. Auto-Combat also takes of the fun of planning your attacks.

Your progress also depends on how you invest in the Tavern.
I particularly like how the developers added an efficient Liquidate feature to the merchant, which allows you to quickly sell away any loot that you carrying more than five of. I love considerate developers.

One of the elements I like in the game is its surprise factor.
What's good is there are times that you can manually choose if you want to be surprised.
Just continue on your path.. and risk being ambushed occasionally.
Some monsters' designs are repetitive, but it's good enough for me.

These.. guarantee plenty of replay value.

Uh, this may be a spoiler. But it's too nice to not be posted.
I stumbled upon this boss through a warp (surprise!). I was concerned if I could beat him. But I did! ..proves that as long as you build your party well and strategize your attacks, it is still possible to win. Plus, victory is sweeter that way.

Soda Dungeon will be on Android starting November 7th this year! Enjoy! :D

Finally, because I'm nice, here are some tips:

1. Invest on your first stool and table as soon as possible. Then, the next best Soda you can afford.
2. Invest on beds (you can refresh your Tavern for as many times as your gold allows you to), and then casks. Remember to ensure that you will have enough gold to hire a party of five AFTER upgrading the casks you have.
3 Always ensure that you have enough gold to hire the strongest character possible.
4. Wean yourself off Soda Junkies as soon as you have better characters....
5. Always ensure that you have a party of five - fill your party up with junkies in the beginning.
6. As you progress, you will have characters with different skills. While I mention that you should hire the strongest characters possible, it is also important to have an arsenal of characters with different skills.
7. Arm your Conjurers with staffs, wands, and items that improve their magic stats.
8. I recommend not getting or using the wizard's services - you get more gold and loot (which also means more gold) if you start from Level 1. Yeah, I'm patient and hardworking like that. Patience is a virtue. Also, by cruising through the dungeon from the beginning, you'd also have fun with fantastic surprises at the fork.
9. Always use the Liquidate function. It's there for a reason.
10. Once you've set up your party nicely and have enough gold for a banker, invest your gold on him so that you're still earning gold even when you're having a life.
11. Always invest on reputation from time to time, especially your Sodas. Also, even if you have a particular Soda, the character your want won't come until you have achieved the sufficient amount of reputation.
12. Invest on the Kitchen when you've explored till about Level 70.
13. When you stumble upon relics... choose wisely. Also, spend all your gold before moving on to the next dimension.

Their main website link is here. More spoilers heh~

I didn't cover everything, but I covered everything I want to cover :P
I prefer that people discover things themselves.
Have fun!
