Haven't played too many first-person dungeon crawls but I did have Orcs and Elves for a while. I liked it but I got stuck somewhere, a volcano or something and spent all this time and couldn't get out and died and lost my progress. I got so frustrated with it that I traded it in when I bought Metroid Prime 3. I very rarely rage quit a game, so to do that and then sell it was very unusual. I wish I still had it, to be honest, even if just to have it. It's based on the engine of the Doom RPG, by the way, which was a mobile-only game. I think it might have pre-dated iOS. I remember hearing that Orcs and Elves was a much deeper game.
I had Sonic Chronicles too for a while. It's fun but the combat got very repetitive by the end of the game. I just constantly used special attacks. I eventually traded that in (maybe at the same time as O&E?) because I couldn't see myself ever playing it again and it was worth quite a bit (don't remember how much but it was more than you paid for it). Also, a friend of mine had lost the box and I'm kind of a stickler about that, though I do have some boxless DS games to be honest.
