We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Solo players who want repeated dungeon runs with changing layouts
- Couch co-op pairs who want local hack-and-slash combat
- Action RPG fans who enjoy collecting upgrades and experimenting with combat effects
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed, story-led adventure may find the procedurally generated run structure repetitive
- Players who prefer measured combat may dislike the intense battles against large enemy groups
- Those without local co-op access cannot use the game's couch multiplayer option
Our take on Smash Dungeon
The focus on generated dungeons and fast combat sacrifices a fixed adventure structure. Players get changing layouts, upgrades, and repeated runs, but the experience is centered on dungeon clearing rather than a stable, authored journey.
What is Smash Dungeon?
Smash Dungeon is an action-focused roguelike set beneath the stronghold of Milrendir, where players search procedurally generated dungeons for riches and confront an evil presence.
Runs include traps, hidden areas, shops, special rooms, enemy hordes, and bosses. Combat supports melee attacks alongside bombs, phoenix flames, chain lightning, towers, and other weapon effects. Armor, weapons, relics, and runes provide upgrades, while consumable power-ups can damage enemies, reveal secrets, or restore health. Enemy types include skeletons, metal hulks, explosive crawlers, and pigs. The game can be played alone or with another player through couch co-op.
