Our take on Dungeons of Mysteria
The bounce point arrives at character death: a failed run permanently removes its adventurer and sends the player back to the beginning. The possible recovery of a buried item does not preserve the character, which may stop players attached to long-term adventurer progression.
What is Dungeons of Mysteria?
Explore procedurally generated dungeons in a first-person roguelite set in Mysteria.
Each run can bring different weapons, armor, accessories, scrolls, and dungeon layouts, along with potions, food, gems, gold, and other items. Character customization creates a distinct adventurer for each playthrough. Characters who gather at least 1,000 gold can retire, open shops in a forest clearing, and contribute to the growth of a small village. Retired adventurers become NPCs whose dialogue draws from their earlier exploits. Death is permanent, although an item buried with a dead character may sometimes be reclaimed from the cemetery. The dungeons contain over 50 types of monsters with varied skills, strengths, and weaknesses.
