Dungeon Crawler

Dungeon Crawler is a round-based, third-person fantasy game about delving into a dungeon to defeat the ancient evil said to dwell in its deepest depths. You fight hostile creatures, collect equipment and gain experience to level up and choose perks that shape your character. The game includes a tutorial and one dungeon with four stages.

Explore the dungeon

The dungeon’s rooms are generated procedurally. You move by clicking highlighted ground tiles, though creatures may block some tiles, and others require you to activate them by passing through rooms. At the start, you choose a game mode; you can switch to higher modes later as you learn the game.

Each round allows one action: move, guard, attack or cast a spell if you have acquired a magic perk. When your turn ends, creatures take their actions. You attack by clicking a creature’s tile, with combat stats shown on pillars and callouts that can offer hints about hidden mechanics.

Combat and survival

Combat uses character stats and dice. Each die can have up to five success sides and always has at least one fail side. Stats above five grant additional dice, with two dice providing up to ten success sides and three providing up to fifteen. The attacker rolls first; if the attack succeeds, the defender rolls to see whether it can be blocked or evaded.

You start with two hitpoints and lose one whenever you are hit. Reaching zero hitpoints means death unless you have an equipped health potion, which restores your hitpoints to their maximum. After death, you respawn at the dungeon entrance and lose your items and equipment, but keep your experience, level and perks.

Loot and progression

You gain experience by killing creatures and clearing rooms. Reaching experience thresholds lets you level up and choose permanent perks, which remain after death. Perks can be reset by resetting all progress in the main menu; combinations can support approaches such as becoming tougher or following an assassin’s path. Progression reaches level 20, with up to 22 perks.

Loot includes healing potions, spells and equipment. Chests contain random equipment, whose stats are rolled when you pick it up; you keep it if its stats are higher than your current equipment. Equipment rolls have higher stats deeper in the dungeon.

Creatures and equipment

The dungeon contains zombies, skeleton crossbow users, skeleton warriors, skeleton mages and a demon. Your weapons and abilities include a melee sword, a ranged bow, a defensive shield and spells.
