Our take on Dungeons of Alethrion
Its defining structure is the dungeon run: randomly arranged floors, monster-clearing objectives, treasure areas, and boss rooms form a sequence that changes between adventures.
What is Dungeons of Alethrion?
Dungeons of Alethrion is a dungeon-crawling roguelike based on the Tales of Alethrion animated series.
Players choose from four heroes with different abilities and explore floors with randomly generated layouts and varied environments. Defeating enemies reduces a monster meter that opens the dungeon exit, while treasures and bosses add different challenges. The game includes regular floors, boss floors, treasure areas, and bonus rooms reached through special exits or a warp flute. Certain animals can be tamed with specific food and brought along as companions. Solo play and local couch co-op are available, alongside monsters from the series, original enemies, distinct tilesets, pixel animations, and remixed songs from the show.
