It's not, actually. It's just as shallow and repetitive. Still, a dungeon run is slightly more interesting than straight killing, if for no other reason than to see in-game NPCs ham it up boasting about their evil plans before they try and destroy you.

On a related note, SE should get Norio Wakamoto to voice every villain. It'd be epic.
