Our take on The Dungeoning
Rather than following a fixed heroic route, the game makes survival uncertain and places the player in the role of a vulnerable rogue. Changing catacombs, learning through mistakes, and further challenge cycles replace a straightforward journey toward victory.
What is The Dungeoning?
The Dungeoning is a difficult action platformer set in a procedurally generated dungeon.
Players explore catacombs that change over time, navigate traps, and fight monsters. Defeating enemies grants experience for character levelling. Combat includes swords, bows, and magic, while healing after afflictions and managing resources are part of the adventure. Gold collected in the dungeon can be spent with traders to buy better weapons. The game also includes NG+ and further playthroughs for an added challenge. Its structure presents the player as a vulnerable rogue who must learn from mistakes and become stronger through experience while attempting to survive the dungeon.
