Our take on Dungeon Marathon
The dungeon setting and boss-stage wording may suggest a combat game, but fighting is explicitly excluded. The four characters are named, yet the available feature details do not distinguish their abilities or play styles.
What is Dungeon Marathon?
Dungeon Marathon is an arcade game about running through dangerous dungeons without fighting.
Four characters—the Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard, and Dwarf—enter the depths believing they are using a gym, only to face danger and temptation after being tricked by an old hag. Players run through 42 levels, collect apples to stay alive, and use power-ups during the journey. The game includes boss stages and a scrolling stage. Its presentation combines dungeon danger with the developer’s stated humorous, arcade-oriented style. Dungeon Marathon comes from Retro Army, a one-person team also associated with Super Trench Attack, Verdict Guilty, and Death’s Hangover.
