Our take on Monsters' Den: Book of Dread

Players seeking direct, real-time control will hit the first wall when encounters switch into turn-based battles. Those expecting fixed dungeon routes may bounce later, since randomly generated levels shape the dungeon runs.

What is Monsters' Den: Book of Dread?

Lead a party of four heroes through randomly generated dungeon levels and turn-based battles.

The game includes two campaigns and a survival mode, along with five enemy factions and seven hero classes: Warrior, Mage, Cleric, Ranger, Rogue, Conjuror, and Barbarian. Dungeon runs offer hundreds of loot items to find. Custom hero portraits can use images selected from a computer. The Softcore mode reduces the consequences of defeat. This standalone Steam edition remasters the original web game with higher-fidelity assets, multiple-resolution support, and fullscreen display.
