I was super hyped to begin with because this is basically "Zelda Maker," but this game is super clunky, full of bugs, doesn't have a solid tutorial, and personally don't think it should have had any sort of official release. It's also very limited in the number of things you can do with a dungeon. While the developer states they plan on adding more items, making more improvements, etc., I have seen developers …

This game has a solid foundation that supports cross-platform level sharing. However, it currently suffers from some bugs and an overall lack of tools. It is not 100% clear what all you can do with some of the tools available. This does not feel like a 1.0 launch, and I worry it may suffer the same fate as Rogue Heroes if not properly cared for. This game's release should have been delayed to further polish what …

As a rabid enjoyer of Nintendo's Mario Maker 2 (I made an entire 8 world set of levels) this game has quickly become an equal obsession. Super Dungeon Maker is an underdog with a chicken as its protagonist. Entering the ring for the very first time, and seemingly out of nowhere Super Dungeon Maker easily knocks out every contender in the level builder genre especially among other dungeon builders. Super Dungeon …

Super Dungeon Maker is a really good level editor. If you are interested in creating your own levels and learning game design, then this is a great way to do it. My only complaint is that the assets are extremely limited. Other than that, it's great!

Fun little game for level editor lovers such as myself. Think Super Mario Maker except for the dungeon crawler genre. Although, if you're more of a player than a maker, I don't believe it's worth it- but, if you're into building, give it a go!

72% of the 174 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Super Dungeon Maker. The complaint that keeps coming up: bugs and glitches are too frequent. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had potential. Unfortunately, it was abandoned without any notice and is severely lacking in content. Play Quest Master instead, it has regular updates and the demo alone has more content than this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You will like our indie game if you enjoyed: - Mario Maker I + II - The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past - The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap - Super Dungeon Maker
neutral · AI labelView post →I originally posted this as a positive review, but after learning that this game was abandoned and Quest Master exists, I've decided to change it. I don't think the two game studios are connected. I can't confirm one way or the other, but Quest master seems to be coming from a place of passion, while this game feels more like it was simply meant to cash in on the void of "Zelda Maker" While there are plenty of tilesets, and some really creative ones too, this game suffers in almost every…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I agree with the fellow reviewers that Quest Master is a different game which is doing the same but better. The developers just stopped posting updates or teasers since April and only have teased their bundles. This happened to my second favorite maker game Levelhead, which they obviously know of because there's a bundle of the two, but that can be justified as it's a bigger studio working on a different game for the time being, and they've said they'll come back to it afterwards. Also, it's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept, but the gameplay is so sluggish. Abandoned game. You want a TRUE Zelda Maker, with active community and dedicated devs? Play Quest Master.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game has potential to be a big game that everyone would be talking about but only if FIRECHICK polishes the game and continues to roll out frequent content updates. As of right now I wouldn't recommend the game as it feels very lacking but I believe the dev team has something on their hands here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely disappointed that the devs gave up on this game. This game had so much potential to be something truly amazing, but with the constant bugs and lack of substantial content, I can't recommend it in it's now "finished" state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When loading up the game it says: "ATTENTION. Super Dungeon Maker is still in development. This version is meant to provide a preview of its current state and possibly for you to provide feedback." - Devs Basically its a EARLY ACCESS game. But its not listed as one on steam which is not fair towards the customers buying something that's listed as a initial release. That obviously doesn't look good since you get this information after you already paid. So if you expected a nice and polished…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get it, they stopped updating because they didn't get the revenue goal of their game. Because they're greedy. Note: I PAID 10 BUCKS FOR THIS GAME
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe it's just me, but it seems very basic. What exists already is pretty solid but it just needs more stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wayyyyy too buggy and not enough content for 1.1 release. Should not have been taken out of early access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game uploaded, never touched again except for level reccomendations. building system is ok, doesn't allow for much creativity. It doesn't help that there are only half a dozen enemies & hazards. Lack of content makes making or playing any levels a total predictable slog.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to love this game, but the longer I own it the worse it seems to get. After so long there are still many bugs and updates are inconsistent. Worse yet the there is another game in early access that seems to aim for the same thing this game does, and honestly looks better. I feel scammed. I don't want to hate on any idie game, and the devs seem really cool, but this just isn't what I was hoping it was. Arts good tho
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Important note first: Development on the game has officially been stopped since April. The worst part is that there is no official announcement here on steam on that (unless I missed it). Now the actual review: The game is ok if you like the style but in terms of gameplay and available mechanics, there are way better options out there. If you expect some fleshed out Zelda style Dungeon Maker, you won't find it here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really painful to say this but it's just too buggy and rough for a paid release at present, even in EA. I so wanted to love it as old school zelda dungeons are the best, but I think you'd struggle to finish the first one if you'd never played a zelda before. There is just no signage or help at all for even basic controls. Then the gameplay, it's so close but just feels rough, even running at 60fps. Finally it appears to be fine on steam deck, but I had issues with it even booting on the 2nd…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not polished or tested well at all. First weird jank I noticed almost immediately was that attacking was extremely inconsistent. Turns out that's because the sword always attacks towards your mouse. Fair enough. Except the shield only defends towards where your movement keys were facing, and ignores the mouse entirely. Neato. Two totally separate aiming methods for literally no reason at all. Great start. Pushable blocks can be set to only be pushed from one direction, except with no visual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The undo button doesn't work... Accidentally left clicking anywhere runs the risk of ruining your door design. Extremely limited in resources you can place, also only 9 different event action triggers can be placed at a time. For a map maker game they really didn't put much thought into how the tool should feel. It looks good on the surface. but trust me this is a terrible excuse for a dungeon editor.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game that will not see another feature update. The project was in early access too, so regrettably the game is and never will be feature-complete.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished making my first major dungeon. This game, both in game and in editor is too glitchy for a 1.0 release, but most of it can be worked around. I'm guessing it was getting patched as I was working on it as some of the glitchiness (like with permanent staircase removals) stopped happening. There are also limited dev options but that is true of most game-maker games...that's why you are playing the Zelda dungeon maker instead of building dungeons from the ground up in Game Maker (which is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game is really good, because I have made a full dungeon in it that I am proud of, and the dungeons in this game are pretty good too.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game and has plenty of potential, but some of the bugs in the dungeon creator are just too much to handle. I played this game for about half a week before I just had to tell myself to stop and wait for them to patch out these bugs. I was excited to find a old school Zelda/Mario Maker game but was a little let down in the end. The combat is pretty smooth and I have made several levels that I am proud of, but there really isn't any incentive to play other creators stuff. There is no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended as of now. The game corrupted a build I was working on, rendering an entire room unable to be traversed as previously laid out tiles were rendered as non-existant when zoomed out. Also happened on walls. Was hyped to try this out, but with those sort of game breaking bugs, I'd pretty quickly lose my fun. Therefore, I suggest you wait a little for a few patches or just entirely pass on it, as sad as it sounds.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this stuff and I wanted to get either this or Super Dungeon Maker. But kinda hard to pick a side since they both look like they have overlapping small communities. And games like this, communities are the only reason to play.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun, though it lacks bosses and placeable npcs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me tell you my story. I spent like 1-2 hours learning how to use the build mode because this game's 'tutorial' (which is the tiny bird sandbox on the game's hub area that you could easily miss) is dog water. The tutorial just consisted of bird NPCs shoving a vague wall of text at your face expecting you to figure it out. Still I pushed on and had to trial and error + experiment just so I could get a grasp on how to start building a dungeon. So I spent like 5+ hours crafting the most…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you were looking for a maker of the other popular franchise of a long standing video game company you can't go wrong with this. crafting rooms is super easy. diverse objects and themes. linking between things to create puzzles. items to expand your move set and use for puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish this game got more updates and bug fixes, but it was really good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very on the nose copy-cat of links awakening if we're being honest, It definitely needs more content for folk who want to play more, but I am honestly just happy someone made a decent dungeon making game. It offers a lot more creative freedoms in dungeon creation than the Links Awakening switch remake and you can choose different themes that have different decor and each has a unique floor hazard. My only complaints is it needs more content and should strive to be more original in the future. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Zelda inspired dungeon builder is full of fun ways to spice up your dungeon Including making things disappear, filling rooms with enemies, making complex boss fights, and more!! It has a few bugs. Any creative person like me is bound to have lots of fun with this one!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this game is good overall, it still has some very big issues. It can not handle changing the border of large rooms well, causing noticeable lag when even adjusting a single wall. It also has a big issue with corrupted tiles. If you're lucky you can somehow manage to fix it, but if not your entire dungeon can become permanently broken and you have to start making it all over again. Just a small thing, but the game fails to autotile correctly when you use the fill tool to expand a large…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super sluggish, too small of a grid size (it kinda hurts to look at), inconsistent grid sizes ("holes" are more like thin cracks), and just all-around full of weird decisions. I believe in a project like this. I just don't believe this one was done well (yet). It lacks attention to detail and an understanding of satisfying user experience. Hopefully they will make the game feel better to look at and to play, later. I fully think if Nintendo were to make a Zelda Maker, they wouldn't make a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, have seen some pretty sweet dungeon ideas so far. If Nintendo isn't gonna do it, someone else will right?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If they keep adding mobs / bosses tiles etc to this game... if they stop... its still good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you developers for the amazing game and key! Booting the game, it looks very simplistic and pretty. You're immediately thrown inside a dungeon that also serves as a tutorial. The first dungeon tutorial is straightforward and easy to understand with simple UI. The art style immediately clicks. The spriteworks and animation is done very nicely. The HUB area looks really nice, and the few developer-made dungeon serves as a good playground for those who feels like playing something…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's got plenty of promise. As it mature, hoping to see more themes or the possibility of custom tilesets through Steam Workshop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's official, the devs won't update the game anymore. But the game deserves to be bought with a promotion, because there's enough content to have fun on creating dungeons, and dozens of dungeons created by other players to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great dungeon creator app with many possibilities to create and make. I just wish they make more characters for this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It just doesn't have enough depth to justify its existence. Pretty much living proof why Super Zelda Maker doesn't exist: because it's a flawed concept conceptually.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My gosh this game is fun. I love it. Me very happy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A literal scam. DO NOT BUY. The devs seem very shady and I bet they will abandon this game soon anyways. They even said themselves that they only took it out of early access because they wanted to release it on the nintendo switch. I saw a few youtube videos on the game and I thought it looked alright. WRONG. They were all sponsored videos by greedy devs that think it's ok to release a broken game. It doesn't function, there's only a few option on what you can make the game crashes randomly, in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a game that is good maybe even great if they keep up with updates and new content
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for a bit. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be: Super Mario Maker, but for Zelda. Enjoyed cute pixel town! That's some high quality stuff. Demn seksee birds... Editor scared me at first, but it's a lot like SMM editor. Encountered few bugs (which kinda sucks for 20 minutes of playtime) but they weren't critical. I can see potential in this game, hope it will get attention and playerbase it deserves
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly a W game. A bit overpriced but fair because games like these are very hard to program. I've experienced no bugs except for a small map bug in the dungeon maker. Massive props to the developers of this game, you have my utmost respect!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is definitely still a little light on content but it has the potential to be a great game. The building UI is simple but still allows for some decently complex levels. I think with more content/bug fix updates this could be a really fantastic game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very good I've made and played a few dungeons and it just keeps getting better. One thing I would like to see is a way to set triggers when you step somewhere or kill an enemy or get an item that would be very useful. Love this game good luck with development and getting 300 reviews<3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Link to the Past but it's 20 years later so none of the content is interesting or impressive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really cool, we have the concept of Super Mario Maker (creating maps like you want to and publish them) but in the world of a Zelda-like (Same utilities "bomb" "shield" "dash" etc.) And the team seems pretty active on the game and its future which is promising for further content You realize how bad of an architect you are when you're playing some insane community dungeons !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If nintendo made a zelda dungeon level but better, and it's going to even better over time. So get it, it's only 15 bucks. Unless you don't have 15 bucks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to switch back to my 3D Platformer level, but I've been looking at this game for a while. I might try this one out. It's Super Dungeon Maker. It won the Best Family Game Award at Gamescom 2021. It's on PC and Switch. #SuperDungeonMaker youtu.be/hPcgL9_KISA?...
neutral · AI labelView post →THis game could be so good, but theres some noticable polish missing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →has the quality of a game in early access (in other words, it's buggy and janky, and lacking in the content department), and development has seemingly been abandoned. the level editor is buggy to the point of being borderline unusable at times. this game is absolutely not worth 20 dollars. if you want it anyway, wait until it goes on sale i beg of you
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs haven't updated the game in like 2 years. This was fun while it lasted and was actually getting updates, but it feels empty and boring now. Wish I could refund it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're going to make a level maker, you have to make sure the basic gameplay feels good. Maybe it was just my personal experience, but I didn't like the way the game felt.
