Box Dungeons

Box Dungeons is a turn-based puzzle game inspired by classic tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and by dungeon crawlers. You guide a character through rooms by sliding across them to attack enemies, collect treasure and complete each stage’s main objective. Enemies follow set patterns, so you must read their moves and plan a route through changing rooms.

Solve the rooms

Dungeon floors contain hazards and interactive elements that you can avoid or use against enemies, such as pushing one into a spike pit or crushing it with a rolling boulder. Floors also have optional side-quest objectives that add another layer of planning. These can include collecting loot, finishing within a set number of turns or defeating an enemy with an Overkill by dealing more damage than its maximum HP.

Gold coins and treasure chests are among the collectibles used to complete side quests for extra skill points. Each floor has objectives beyond simply clearing it.

Develop your character

Playable characters gain experience as they complete rooms and unlock abilities in their own skill trees. These active and passive skills change how you can solve puzzles, and some puzzles require particular abilities. Each dungeon is designed around its corresponding character’s skills, with its own environment, enemies and mechanics inspired by fantasy tabletop and classic RPG themes, including the Goblin Cave.

Face enemies and bosses

Enemies use skills of their own. The Goblin Warrior can use “Fury of the Small” to damage targets stronger than itself, while the battle-hardened Hobgoblin can “Parry” attacks from the front to reduce the damage it takes.

The last floor of every dungeon is a Boss battle, such as the raging Goblin Warband. Each Boss has unique abilities and mechanics designed around the skills available to the corresponding character.
