DungeonUp

Game really needs a preview option or button of some kind. All my deaths are bc i dont know how much dmg this enemy will deal to me. Also a auto-fast foward button would also be great.

Story mode isn't so bad on the easiest difficulty, thanks to free keys that keep the run alive (waiting a minute for each one sucks, though). Every zone has some mechanic to it that keeps the experience interesting - beating the zones are the few highlight moments you get here. Once you beat the game, it's also possible to grind the final boss for a decent amount of soul stones, which help a ton with any future runs. Everything else, however, feels very rough around the edges - the story is bland, the sound and music volumes are way too loud and it's very easy to glitch out the game. The mouse inputs don't work most of the time, small mistakes can quickly ruin your progress and grinding soul stones is very boring. Maze mode is RNG hell; find sword, shield, upgrades, a key and kill a boss. However, sometimes there's no sword, sometimes there's no key and in the final zone, the boss has a 50% chance of being literally unkillable. You can be 10 minutes into a run before realizing that the run was un-winnable from the start, which feels very stupid. If you're a completionist, you'll need to do some grinding here (a couple story mode runs, some speedrun attempts and 50 maze mod…

DungeonUp, developed by Clewcat Games and published by Plug In Digital, is a compact but surprisingly cerebral dungeon crawler that reframes familiar roguelike conventions through a lens of planning, foresight, and risk management. While it borrows visual and structural cues from classic dungeon adventures, DungeonUp distinguishes itself by slowing the pace and turning nearly every action into a calculated decision. Rather than emphasizing reflexes or chaotic combat, the game asks players to think several steps ahead, making it feel closer to a strategic puzzle experience wrapped in the skin of a roguelike. The core loop places you in control of a lone knight ascending through procedurally generated dungeon floors filled with monsters, locked doors, traps, keys, and upgrade opportunities. Enemies do not roam or chase you in real time; instead, they occupy fixed positions, transforming encounters into deliberate choices rather than spontaneous reactions. Before engaging in combat, players can usually predict the outcome, allowing them to decide whether a fight is worth the cost. This deterministic approach removes guesswork from individual battles and shifts the challenge toward ro…

i really like this, its simple yet fun and music is excellent

I wasn't expecting much but I'm actually enjoying it. What seems like simple gameplay on the surface gives you lots of options to play with. Which doors to unlock, which monsters to battle, risk vs reward. Great strategy-lite rougelike-lite. (I hate labels and categorization)

perfect for coffee breaks, as entertaining as simple, def recommend
