Our take on Dungeon Stars
Its defining structure is the combination of hack-and-slash combat with an endless-runner format, sending the party through hundreds of changing dungeon levels while building a roster of heroes and pets.
What is Dungeon Stars?
Dungeon Stars combines hack-and-slash combat, role-playing elements, and endless-runner structure across hundreds of dungeon levels.
Players fight warriors, beasts, brutes, wizards, monsters, and bosses while collecting gold, potions, magical loot, and components for hero promotion. More than 15 heroes can be unlocked, each with distinct abilities, and rescued pets provide their own skills. Star portals introduce changing challenges, while secret dungeons contain additional heroes, pets, and rare treasures. Progress also involves freeing stars and restoring constellations.
