Sakura Dungeon manages to competently execute most of the aspects of a dungeon crawler: combat, level design, character and monster variety, characterization, optional challenge content.
Winged Cloud has defied all expectations and released a superior indie gameplay eroge with professional production values. I expected Sakura Dungeon to be a horrible mess with non-functional gameplay, fanfic-level writing, and pretty but sparse art which would be the sole selling point. All of the ingredients for disaster were assembled: an indie developer with a long pedigree of shovelware experimenting with their first gameplay title (no, Sakura Clicker doesn't count) and being tossed between publishers Sekai Project and MangaGamer like a bad Christmas fruitcake. I had very low expectations for Sakura Dungeon. I covered Sakura Swim Club merely to promote Winged Cloud's experiment with free Steam uncensor patches. The first 60 seconds of Sakura Swim Club only confirmed to me what others had said about the dreadfully bland writing: the same thought "I'm tired and don't want to get up" was simply repeated over and over. Their games are like candy bars: they're cheap, highly visible to consumers, and they have no lasting value. Winged Cloud has a reputation for visual novels with pretty art that conceals poor amateur writing and an utter lack of ambition. Tags: female protagonist, girls-love, consensual sex only

One of the most important mechanics of Sakura Dungeon is the ‘capture’ mechanic, wherein the player will be able to capture monster girls they encounter and add them to their party. She soon discovers that it was a heroic knight who woke her from her slumber, and after a brief fight and “negotiation,” the knight decides to join her on an adventure to reclaim the dungeon! Together, they will unearth great treasures, reveal secrets and hidden rooms, and recruit monster girls to fight by their side.all while avoiding traps, fighting off dangerous enemies and bosses across multiple floors, and uncovering the devious plans of the new dungeon lord. In this story players will assume the role of an ancient fox spirit who awakens after several hundred years of deep sleep to find that possession of her lovingly made dungeon has been taken from her! As if that wasn’t enough cause for alarm, she has also been robbed of her power, leaving her weak and vulnerable. Capture monster girls, collect loot, explore the dungeon's depths and reclaim what is yours in this dungeon crawler game. Your dungeon has been stolen from you while you have been sealed.
