Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players like its addictive turn-based dungeon runs and build variety, but note unclear tutorials, weak translation and RNG-driven deaths.

Many players describe Buriedbornes as an addictive dungeon crawler with a steep but rewarding learning curve. They enjoy trying different classes, races and builds, unlocking permanent upgrades between runs, and the simple, mouse-only turn-based combat with dark fantasy art. Some players, especially those returning from the mobile version, say the PC port is a welcome addition, though the interface is not adapted to the larger screen. Some players complain about a lack of guidance, poor and partly missing translations, and runs that end through luck rather than skill. A few reviewers object to the pay-for-currency design, saying free progress is limited. Recent reviews are more critical of the translation and onboarding than the older helpful ones, which focus on the build depth.

Praised

  • Addictive run loop

    Players say short, repeatable dungeon runs keep them coming back for hours.

    Many players
  • Deep build variety

    Players enjoy mixing classes, races and items into unusual combinations and experimenting with strategies.

    Many players
  • Simple mouse-only turn-based combat

    Reviewers appreciate the easy controls and turn-based fights that are simple to pick up and play in short sessions.

    Some players
  • Free to play with good value

    Players say the free game is generous enough to recommend for trying without spending money.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Unclear tutorial and guidance

    Players say the game does not explain its mechanics, items or combat order, so they have to look up answers online.

    Many players
  • Poor translation

    Reviewers say the English text is confusing or partly missing, which makes mechanics hard to understand.

    Some players
  • Luck-driven deaths

    Players feel random outcomes can end a run regardless of skill, and some say other players' actions end runs too.

    Some players
  • Pay-to-progress currency

    Reviewers say the free part is limited and that continuing after death needs a special currency that is bought with money.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy roguelike dungeon crawlers, experimenting with builds, and learning systems through trial and error.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who want clear guidance, a polished translation or a game without luck-based run endings and currency walls.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 20 hours tend to praise build depth and replay value, while newer players more often mention confusion about mechanics and the translation.
