  Warning: Asset Flip! Dungeons of the dead is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", azimuth team, took the 2D Roguelike Tutorial Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Unity Technologies, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. It gets worse... "2D Roguelike Tutorial" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from azimuth team, with "Starveling Way", asset flipped by Simple Logic Games/beans rolls. Take a look for yourself... it's exactly the same game! The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "2D Roguelike Tutorial" is just an official tutorial pack to teach people how to use procgen in Unity, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from azimuth team.
