Our take on Pixel Stories of Dungeon
Its combat-centered dungeon structure comes at the expense of a broader adventure format: character stories and citadel activities support the progression, while the main play is built around dangerous battles and equipment choices.
What is Pixel Stories of Dungeon?
Pixel Stories of Dungeon is a dungeon-crawling RPG with roguelike elements and a challenging focus on combat.
A tournament in the citadel sets the story in motion as characters ask for help with their own goals. Completing these tasks provides access to equipment, weapons, skills, pets, and character histories. Dungeon expeditions pit the hero against monsters and other dangerous figures, including the Grim Reaper. Combat is supported by a large selection of weapons and equipment, along with skills that can be learned and created. A pet can accompany the hero, receive care, and grow through support from the hero’s mother. The game combines citadel-based character interactions with battles in hazardous dungeon environments.
