Dungeon Clawler is a roguelike claw machine game, which is just as frustrating and moreish as it sounds

Let me tell you something, dear reader—I am not a person blessed with good luck. When I play roguelikes, TTRPGs, or TCGs, I will always get thrown into the grinder by the fates themselves. Bad card draw, low RNG rolls, and propensity to always roll natural 20s on things that don't matter, before stumbling into a dinky 4 when the world's at stake.

So when I took Dungeon Clawler—a "claw machine rougelike"—for a spin after its appearance in Steam's Next Fest last week, I was expecting to be frustrated and, let me tell you: Yes, I was.
