My take: I played the demo earlier this year and it was a blast. I'm really enjoying the "roguelite with a gameplay twist" fad at the moment with Ballionaire, Balatro, Solitairica, and now Dungeon Clawler.

The name of the game is absolutely not SEO-friendly, although it's a good name it's incredibly hard to find with search engines for some people. (Especially because Google likes to show you what Google thinks you are looking for, as opposed to what you are saying you're looking for)

At €/$ 8.99 (10% launch discount) this game is almost a steal. It's also on mobile for €/$ 4.99

I thought the demo was okay. Was really slow paced to me and honestly didn't feel like a challenge/that my choices affected the game a whole lot. Specifically where I grabbed with the claw, moreso than my upgrades.
It was just a huge meh from me. Might play on mobile to give a second chance
- That is fair. Perhaps controversial but I had something similar with Balatro. But maybe I've just played too much poker in the past, who knows.
  
  I had the complete opposite experience. Played the Balatro demo during one of the Steam fests and was instantly hooked. Played it for like double-digit hours in one weekend and pretty much knew I’d be getting the full game when it came out.
  I had fun with the Dungeon Clawer demo too, but I agree with the person above that it felt a bit slow. I wonder if there’s been some updates to it since I last played it a couple months back.
  
  To be completely fair when I read that it was cheaper on mobile and on mobile. I almost immediately went and downloaded it because I have Google Play money from Google rewards.
  I'lll double down on both my feelings. There's no way I'd play this on PC because it is two slow paced, but it's like a perfect mobile game.
  And also that I feel a little constrained about how much my choices are actually making a difference. Like if I could change the amount of tension in the claw or there was some way I can make a bigger set of changes in the beginning of the game. I would like it a whole lot more
  That being said, definitely 100% worth every dollar on mobile. And I really like the claymation-esque intro video they added, or at least I had never noticed it before

It looks interesting and affordable enough to be a good time waster game. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll give it a shake!
