Dungeon Rats

Dungeon Rats is a tactical combat RPG set in a prison ruled by gangs. You begin as a new prisoner at the bottom of the prison hierarchy and fight to survive, develop your combat skills, and acquire better weapons and equipment. You can recruit allies or go it alone, killing anyone who stands in your way.

Tactical combat

Combat includes standard attacks, aimed attacks that target specific body parts, and special attacks tied to individual weapons, such as Whirlwind and Impale. Positioning matters: you can manually place your characters before a fight and gain strategic bonuses from flanking. The game includes 50 challenging fights.

Weapons and crafting

You can forge weapons, brew potions and poisons, and experiment with Liquid Fire and Black Powder. The eight weapon types each have their own advantages and disadvantages:

• Daggers
• Swords
• Axes
• Hammers
• Spears
• Bows
• Crossbows
• Throwing Weapons

Party and progression

You can customize the main character and recruit from 10 possible companions, some of whom are not human. Your party can include up to four characters. Charisma affects the number and quality of party members, while skill points are divided among the party: larger parties mean fewer points per person and slower level-ups.

Endings and difficulty

The game has four different endings and three difficulty levels: Nice Guy, Tough Bastard and Murderous Psychopath. It also includes new weapons, armor and creatures.
