Inspirations

I've always been a huge fan of action RPG games as well as turn based tactical games - so it was important to me to create a game with a pacing that I enjoyed and that so many games seem to miss. Dungeoneer is intended to play at a slightly slower pace than most action RPG games, aiming to reduce button mashing while being visually appealing and immersive. Combat is heavily inspired by Runescape and World of Warcraft, where ability rotation and stat optimization heavily influences gameplay.
