Dinsun Review
Dinsun. It's rare I find a game that actually understands how to do mobile controls properly. Two buttons. That's it. And yet, this is more engaging than 90% of the junk with virtual sticks. The movement is tight, the pixel art is evocative without being lazy, and the roguelite elements actually force you to make interesting choices. It's difficult—real difficulty, not 'I didn't pay enough' difficulty. You'll die a lot, but you'll know exactly why. It’s got that 'one more run' quality that I usually only find in PC titles. My only real complaint is that I want more biomes. A hidden gem in an ocean of mediocrity.
