Is Dolmen worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action RPG players who want melee and ranged combat in the same encounters
- Science-fiction and cosmic-horror fans who enjoy hostile alien settings
- Players seeking combat challenges built around enemy weaknesses and boss fights
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a low-pressure adventure may hit a wall when energy management and enemy weaknesses become central to combat.
- Players seeking a relaxed or lightly structured experience may bounce off the hostile world and boss encounters that test combat skills.
- Players looking for medieval, animal-focused settings may not find the alien science-fiction setting suitable.
- Players seeking a crafting or tower-defense focus may find the combat-and-exploration structure mismatched.
Our take on Dolmen
The bounce point arrives when combat requires tracking energy for ranged weapons and Energy Mode while adapting to enemy weaknesses. Players who prefer straightforward attacks may hit that system before the larger boss encounters become the main test.
What is Dolmen?
Dolmen is an action RPG set on Revion Prime, a hostile alien planet shaped by science-fiction and cosmic-horror themes.
The mission is to recover samples of Dolmen, a crystal that enables interaction between realities. Combat includes melee and ranged weapons, with character growth tied to battles. Energy supports ranged attacks and activates Energy Mode, which adds elemental effects to melee weapons for exploiting enemy weaknesses. Exploration takes place across a devastated world containing hidden secrets and dangerous creatures. The game also includes large, gruesome bosses that test combat skills.

Dolmen compared to similar games
Dolmen centers on combat across a hostile alien planet, with melee-ranged switching, energy use, elemental effects, exploration, and bosses.
