Is Into the Dungeon worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Roguelike deck-builder fans who want online co-op
- Small groups seeking four-player real-time card combat
- Players who enjoy experimenting with class combinations and artifacts
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a turn-based card battler rather than simultaneous real-time combat
- Players who want a fixed campaign instead of repeated runs across changing maps
- Solo players uninterested in managing distinct class mechanics and deck synergies
Our take on Into the Dungeon
Players who prefer turn-based planning may hit the first wall when every player acts simultaneously in combat. Those seeking a gentler roguelike may reach another at Hardcore Mode, where enemy stats rise and some rounds add a timer.
What is Into the Dungeon?
Into the Dungeon is a roguelike deck-building game with single-player and online co-op play for up to four players.
Choose one of four classes, each with distinct cards, perks, artifacts, and combat styles. Build a deck during each run, collect artifacts that alter how a class works, and combine abilities across classes. Players act simultaneously during battles while facing creatures in a grim fantasy setting and choosing routes across an evolving map.
The Wizard manages Exhaust cards, the Paladin combines offense and defense, the Viking builds multi-hit attacks and team buffs, and the Bard uses songs and poison over time. Completing classic mode unlocks Hardcore Mode, which adds stronger enemies and timers to some rounds. Multiplayer and solo progress can be saved automatically.
