About Dungeon Lad
Explore a randomly generated dungeon as you juggle your health, gold, and remaining time. Complete floors and defeat enemies in order to unlock more powerful upgrades for subsequent runs to delve deeper and deeper. Unlock more upgrades, enemies and more as you explore infinite dungeons.Gameplay
Dungeon Lad is pretty simple. You want to find the stair case on each level to proceed to the next level. Each run is timed, so you want to be quick. Each enemy has it's own power level, denoted by a number next to it. Colliding with that enemy lowers your health by that number, but also grants you that much gold. You use gold in between levels to buy upgrades for you character to make going deeper in the dungeon easier. While you make your way through the dungeon, collect orbs to unlock more items in between runs. Some of these unlocks alter the character directly by increasing starting health or time. Others unlock stronger items for the in-dungeon shop. There are over 70 unique upgrades to unlock, and each one will make it easier to post a good score on the leader board.
Features
- Low Time Commitment: Runs can be completed in just a few minutes while still progressing your character.
- Simple Gameplay: Just 4 buttons and a mouse are needed to explore the depths.
- Tons of Content to Unlock: Unlock more upgrades, more enemies, and other game altering items.
- Online Leaderboard: Compete to see who is the ultimate dungeon lad.

Not much depth to the game, crashed on me more than once in the short time I played it, and loses all progress on a crash. Needs a lot of polish.
Frantic, yet strategic. The goal here is not to kill everything or collect all the loot, it's to get down one more floor before time runs out. Early floors are dicey and your chances aren't great, but if you can get a foothold with the right skills and items, you can build up enough momentum to play almost indefinitely and mow everything down. Unfortunately, it doesn't save your score or meta currency unless you actually die, so the "indefinite" part can be a bit of an issue, and I've also had the occasional crash. Still, it's a fun time.
Really fun arcade roguelike
conceptually the game is extremely fun and addictive, but ive lost 5 deep runs in the last few hours to crashes and considering that its an 8-bit game i dont think that's really acceptable.
This is a perfect arcade dungeon crawler if you're looking for something easy to pickup and play, a clean interface, and great use of minimal colors. I got it on sale for $4 US, and I'll get at least 5+ hours out of this over a short time, so it's worth it on that price point alone. Give it a go, if you know what you're getting into before buying you shouldn't have any worries!
This game is a good game and I like it.
