Personal review

I really disliked the fact that after each maze you start from character level 1. Besides a mini intro text for each of the 22 dungeons there is no story, the gameplay only consists of monster-grinding and - most important of all - not to get lost. Fights have no tactical elements. Your only choice is to press the button to attack. The later mazes are huge and can take hours to complete, which is unlikely that you do because of the rather boring concept. Most interesting feature is the simultaneous two-player mode, where both players have half of the screen and roam the same maze at the same time. In one-player mode the right side of the screen is used for additional character status information.

Official description

Double Dungeons is a dungeon role-playing game that features smooth-scrolling 3-D game play. Two players can play at the same time, which makes this game truly stand out from the rest. There are 22 unique scenarios, spread out among six levels. The higher the level is, the harder the scenario. Because each scenario is independent, players can choose to start the game from any scenario other than the final one. Players defeat monsters in each dungeon to gain experience while searching for the "key" that opens the door to the room with the boss. They buy equipment at the shop, team up with characters and defeat the boss to clear a scenario. Players must conquer all 21 scenarios from levels 1 through 5 to obtain passwords. If they obtain all of them, they make their way to the final scenario!
