Our take on Dungeonmans
Rather than treating the hero as the sole source of progression, the game makes the academy part of the adventure. Each expedition contributes to a shared institution, so later characters inherit knowledge and advantages from earlier runs.
What is Dungeonmans?
Dungeonmans is a turn-based roguelike RPG set across dungeons and a broad wilderness containing swamps, crypts, bandit camps, towers, and other threats.
Heroes fight monsters using close combat, ranged attacks, steel, and magic, with more than 75 abilities and six class archetypes that can be mixed rather than enforcing fixed class restrictions. The game includes 12 dungeon and battlefield styles and more than 50 enemies. Fallen heroes affect future expeditions through the Dungeonmans Academy, a home base that grows as graduates return with loot and knowledge. The structure combines permanent consequences with new character runs, while skills and masteries provide different combat options.
