They’re resource management games when you get down to it. I think I was ok with that when they first came out, not sure I can say that I am now.

In that regard almost all dungeon crawls are resource management games. Managing your hit points, the items you start with, the items you find along the way. If some or all of you run out of that most precious resource (HP), it's game over.

That’s true, and if I’m being honest with myself, it’s not one of my favorite genres for that reason.
I think the bigger issue with the DDAS games is that they’re the kind of co-ops where it’s all punishment and little reward. They ask the player, “How long can your resources hold out while we repeatedly kick you in the dick?”

Massive Darkness (in one-shot mode) and Silver Tower/Hammerhal obsoleted the DDAS games for me.

These are fun, short games. The newer titles add more needed bits to the game however the miniarure quality is racing for the bottom of a toilet. They're still serviceable but noticeably smaller. I've had a lot of fun with these over the years mashing them together and we still keep selling them at the store I work at.
