Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 183 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (722 of 888 positive).
Players find it a faithful, addictive digital adaptation of a board game with simple yet deep dice mechanics. [1][2][3][4] Some reviewers note the game becomes too easy after maxing stats and is heavily DLC-laden. [5][6][7] A few players criticize the all-female character roster and lack of remote co-op functionality. [8][9]

It's fine, buy it when it's heavily discounted. The reason I give it a negative review is because the game is too heavily DLC-laden by just a smidge. So if you only own the main game, about 70% of your start screen has "Buy the DLC!" plastered all over it. It's something that doesn't particularly invite you to keep playing the core game.

This is a fun enough short game with a few drawbacks. When it's on sale, it's absolutely worth the few bucks, and the DLC's are cheap enough that you can get one here and there. The biggest problem with this game is that you can max out every stat on a character then it's done. There is nothing more you can do, and at least with the DLC I own, you can't reset them to begin again. I am not stuck with every one of the …

Well, I was kinda on the fence about this one, but it actually turned out to exceed my expectations. When I watched the videos and looked at screenshots, the game just looked very 'basic,' and I wasn't sure if it would be fun. So, I wishlisted it and put it off. Seeing it on sale, I thought what the heck and picked it up. Now I have bought the DLC and am slowly working on leveling up my characters to dive ever …

You know the old saying, "Simple to learn, difficult to master"? This game literally embodies that saying. The basic idea is simple enough; you get a pool of dice to face random encounters (either traps or monsters) on your way to beating a boss. Each encounter provides a reward which makes you stronger, so that you can face the boss at the end as the mighty hero you are meant to be. Simple enough, right? Let's call …

One Deck Dungeon is a digital adaptation of a tabletop dungeon crawler developed and published by Handelabra Games Inc. that succeeds by stripping fantasy adventure down to its most essential components and refining them into a tight, repeatable experience. Instead of sprawling maps or narrative-heavy quests, the game focuses on dice, cards, and decisions, presenting dungeon exploration as a compact but demanding …

neutral · AI labelView post →Not great, not terrible. Thumbs down because you buy half a game. The whole game is locked behind 6 DLCs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a dumbed-down version of the card game Munchkin. You kick open a door and get dealt a monster card (like Munchkin). You roll a handful of dice and have to match the dice (like Yahtzee). Nothing unique here. In the beginning you have monsters that are mathematically unbeatable, but each time you lose you permanently unlock advantages that make the game much easier to win... so the game starts super hard then quickly gets super easy. This looked like a developer's typical "my first indie…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this for remote play together. Turns out it's the same as just streaming the game to the other person over discord - what's the point? Refunding this and sticking with the physical boardgame.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game based 60% on luck alone. Even with my mage with almost ever campaign ability I can only get by the dragon about 1/3 of the time on NOVICE, The major flaw in the game is the inability to increase dice. Often you will be leaving 5s,4s and 3s of an off colour being just wasted. I actually do much better with the actual card game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a game of One Deck Dungeon by @asmadigames.bsky.social! Simple mechanics that had some surprising depth as you got deeper into the dungeon. Allocating your dice gets stressful after a bit. Keen to try the campaign out and see how it goes. Played solo.
positive · AI labelView post →As a game developer and passionate gamer, I am deeply disappointed and saddened by the decision to feature only female characters in this game. In 2024, when the effort to include male characters could be as simple as adding an additional image per character, this choice feels particularly exclusionary. While I support female representation in games, this decision seems to miss the mark by excluding male characters entirely. It's disheartening because it appears to support feminism, yet no…

Seth is surprisingly good at Clue. Hena absolutely cleans Monopoly. #writesky #writingcommunity #awesomecharacters
neutral · AI labelView post →There is very little dice mitigation in the game. There are some skills that can help with converting dice (to 4s) or improving dice, but they don't appear in every run, and there are no rerolls. Goodluck when you need 5s and 6s to break the boss' shield and you got only 1-4.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit of One Deck Dungeon last night. We're playing a "campaign" and so are getting a few starting powers now, and it's a nice little puzzle to work with the rewards we get and work out how to get useful combos going between us #boardgames

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As long as the developers go against their own customers by calling them sexist because they complain about the sexism ingame (only one gender selectable, gender lock, enemies are the opposite sex), they honestly don't deserve any money. Sexism should never be rewarded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game to decide if I want to buy the physical copy, because I was sceptical at first. I was truly wrong - that's an addictive smart puzzle-battler with progressive dice system. The digital version is real good, and I learned the core of rules in no time because of the interactive tutorial - learning just from manual would have taken so much longer (I read it too but it lacks some clarity). Now I think I will stick with the digital version which it strips away all the hassle and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Faithful adaptation of the boardgame. I've only done a few runs and it is quite difficult and fun. It is so much nicer not having to track my cards/dice while playing. My cats can't mess up this playfield.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game night tonight! Trying out a 2 player game, One Deck Dungeon. It's a rogue-like game without a computer, kinda ironic but why not! We thought it was really cool that all the heros appeared to be female. Nice change of pace in the gaming space. #ttrpg #boardgames
positive · AI labelView post →So ADDICTIVE! I am loving it. The progression system is awesome. I did solo the first few hours and now I am playing 2 characters. I have played the tabletop game, but I am really digging this PC version. I haven't tried any of the DLC yet but I am sure I will... I am having that much fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is NOT a multi player game. It doenst let two people play it. At same computer or online. Total false advertising. And also super stupid. These kind of games are based on board games that are intended to be played with other people. Why make them single player.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reposting for the later crowd. One Deck Dungeon has been a favorite solo board game of mine for ages, the new flame-flavored expansion has great (and adorable?!?) art, and the vault box is going to be one of the raddest things in my game collection. #boardgame #soloboardgame

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Talisman: Digital Classic Edition, One Deck Dungeon faces a similar issue with the dice working against the player. There's no confirmation bias here. Look at the global dice roll statistics: 1s - 28,795,151 2s - 29,551,183 3s - 29,283,695 4s - 28,636,867 5s - 28,268,256 6s - 27,442,225 If all numbers on the dice have a similar chance to be rolled, then how come 6s are missing 826,031 rolls compared to the lowest of the others (5s)? And 5s being the second lowest? Well, what a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game seems nice, but I'm also annoyed by tag "splitscreen/co-op" when it isn't really. One person controlling everything with someones verbal commands doesn't make them feel very included or swapping mouse like at every dice roll. It works with games like homm or just something turn based where turns takes time but with this game giving the mouse every 5 second to other player doesn't really cut it to be included in category splitscreen. So yeah can't recommend because I though I could actually…

neutral · AI labelView post →Game is basically roll dice, match the numbers, repeat ad nauseam. There is no skill, no strategy and basically nothing to ensure victory other than pure luck of the dice rolls. The last straw for me, I rolled 15 dice, almost all 5's and 6's, basically the single best roll you could make. However I didn't have a three of one color of dice so there was literally nothing to do but lose. That is just not fun to me. If endless dice rolling for the sake of dice rolling sounds fun to you and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Played on Steam Deck. The best part of this game is rolling a bunch of dice. Perfect for steam deck, the controls are comfortable and can display appropriate info panels easily. Great dungeon crawler with lots of characters and bosses to mix up the details of a run while keeping the formula the same. Definitely addictive and has the opportunity to sink a ton of hours with the roguelite unlocks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really nice version of the game but there is one issue that seems to exist on both this version and mobile and that relates to the action of trading any 2 dice for a Black dice (usable anywhere). While initially doing so results in a random Black D6, after a few turns the random-algorithm dies a death and every single subsequent trade results in a 1 on the D6. I reported this several years ago on the mobile and,unfortunately, it's never been fixed making this game unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The basic gameplay loop of ODD is that you carefully balance you resources (time, health, potions, even dice) in an effort to obtain as much loot (XP for level ups, potions, gear for more dice and health, and skills) as possible and in the best loadout possible to beat the dungeon boss. A simple premise but it really is quite engaging. There are three core aspects I love about the game. The first is how rewarding it feels to succeed when you make good choices. Multiple times I've thought to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There was also One Deck Dungeon where all the playable characters happened to be women. The game had no plot, just theming, and the gender of the characters had no relevance beyond aesthetic, but people still got mad anyway. It's like, JFC can you get a life. As even by gamer standards you're sad.
neutral · AI labelView post →All female heroes! <3 Slight learning curve, but the tutorial fairy is very helpful 😆
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the concept, however I cannot even beat the first dungeon. When I use the skill points at the end on each character, no bonuses are ever added on the next play through. Am I supposed to max out every single bonus skill (like extra health)? I don't get it and it's annoying.

positive · AI labelView post →SHORT REVIEW One Deck Dungeon is a computerisation of a tabletop game. It is apparently very faithful to the tabletop version although I don't own a physical copy so can't really comment. It's pretty simple to play. I'm not usually a fan of dice based games (far too random) but once you get going the dice manipulation mechanics allow you to make the most of it if the RNG just hates you and that is where the skill lies. PLOT: It a rogue like. There isn't really a plot other than defeat…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it, but I also love board games. You probably won't like it if you don't like optimizing dice rolls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The beauty of the original card game was its strategic depth despite its physical simplicity. There are no such constraints for the digital version, so it didn't really leverage the format very well. I played it for 3 hours before uninstalling it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If there’s a specific media they’re excited by, try one of the licensed games. Dragon Age and Fallout both have TTRPGs. Though if you want to be sneaky, try a board game with TTRPG elements like Frosthaven or One Deck Dungeon, then progress from there.
neutral · AI labelView post →If the issue is multiple decks, there's a great little game literally named "One Deck Dungeon" that uses one deck of cards and some dice for everything. Supports 1 or 2 players cooperative play. It all fits in a little pocket-sized box.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not all RNG. It's not super deep strategy either, but there are choices, a decision space, and a pretty good low-stress light game that is quick to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[One Deck Dungeon](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/179275/one-deck-dungeon) is an inexpensive small box co-op game with a fantasy dungeon crawl theme and an approachable rule set. It only plays 1 or 2 but you could always have 2 people share a character and make the decisions together. Or just share both characters between all players. There is also an app version (mobile, steam) that is a good way to learn the game.
