About The Living Dungeon
Play a tactical dungeon tournament board game adventure, and not have to clean it up afterwards. There really is nothing quite like The Living Dungeon.
Up to 9 players can take part in a battle of wits, luck, and skulduggery. Survive other adventurers, monsters, and the dungeon itself through combat, agility or dungeon manipulation. Only the strongest, fastest and smartest survive.
Each player has only 5 actions per turn. They then have only 2 fretful minutes to decide what to do with those 5 actions. Panic will set in. The possibilities and threats will become overwhelming. Your mind will freeze up! Your time is running out for you to complete your objective, but one wrong move could be fatal! There are just so many ways to die in The Living Dungeon.

Features
- Lots to Do: a thirty hour story mode, 4 multiplayer modes including Assassination, Head Hunter, Random Assassination, and Escape mode. All of that and you only need one controller.
- Unique Gameplay: Mix Tactics, luck and wit to outplan and out manoeuvre your enemies. Kill them, or help them kill themselves.
- Replay Value: The board layouts are generated randomly, so with A.I. biases and dice involved, no two games will ever be the same.
- Drop In/Out Multiplayer: Oh no! Phone call in the middle of an epic game with 8 players! It’s ok. You can switch your character onto A.I. mode temporarily. You don’t have to stop the game.
- Double Style: Play the game in a nasty evil dungeon, or a friendlier board game in a tavern. Two visual stylings to suit your mood.
- Control The Dungeon: Your little sister came in and wants to join in right in the middle of an epic match. Why not let her take over the dungeon. That way you can bribe her to ensure your victory.
- That’s Enough: You don’t need any more bullet points because this is a totally different experience and great fun. It’s also quite pretty.

The Living Dungeon is an unusual and ambitious indie title that deliberately blurs the line between video game and tabletop experience, offering a dungeon crawler that feels less like a traditional RPG and more like a living board game brought to life on screen. Developed and published by RadiationBurn, the game’s central idea is immediately distinctive: the dungeon itself is not a static environment but a mutable entity, constantly shifting through tile rotations, random events, and player-driven manipulation. Rather than presenting a tightly scripted adventure, the game emphasizes improvisation, spatial awareness, and adaptability, challenging players to think several steps ahead while also accepting that luck will always play a significant role. The premise is built around a city overshadowed by a sentient, ever-changing dungeon whose influence threatens the world above. Adventurers descend into this labyrinth to confront its dangers, but the narrative remains deliberately light, functioning more as thematic flavor than as a driving force. Story elements exist to justify the mechanics and atmosphere rather than to deliver character-driven drama or elaborate plot twists. This ch…1 found this helpful
Original puzzle game featuring twenty odd (relatively) linear campaign levels with limited solutions however an offline multiplayer feature that uses good ol' fashioned coded A.I. players if you don't have anyone real to play local. There are a good handful of game types and variable to keep skirmishes fresh. Of course online MP is here as well but good luck finding anyone playing online. My only gripe is the lack of polish: Vocals are cheesy but too quietly spoken to be heard anyway and menus are lackluster giving off that 'Baby's First' vibe. Overall, well worth the humble asking price and one of the better amateur games on Steam.1 found this helpful
You should be a dungeon master. I'm definitely not.
Buggy and crashes. Also, not much to go by. Get other games like Grimrock instead.
I have no idea why I bought this. But I stopped playing and never went back.
Not really worth what it costs. It is extremely clunky. Sometimes you will not know what to do or things will seem to hang.
