What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Dungeoncraft has been rebuilt from the ground up. What's on Steam now is a new engine, a new command system and a new campaign. It isn't finished, and I'd rather people play it and tell me what's broken than sit on it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I don’t have a reliable release estimate yet. I’m still developing the campaign, Sandbox game and tutorial, and completing them is the main goal for leaving Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The campaign is one tutorial and one preview mission. A complete tutorial and campaign are planned but not built. A finished gameplay concept, order system working out, co-op campaign, a wider range of enemies, and more to build with are all still to come.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes tutorial lessons, a dungeon delve, and additional scenarios. Campaign play is single-player; you can host scenarios for Steam friends.

Procedural New Game is still in development and is not available in the release build. Expect updates to break compatibility with older saves.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may change when it leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Please post bugs and suggestions in the Steam discussions. If an order does something you didn’t expect, tell me what you asked the character to do and what happened instead.”

About This Game

Dungeoncraft is a real-time fantasy strategy game about leading a small company, with the world set out on a tabletop and your companions’ equipment laid beside it as cards.

Keep your company within reach

Your character commands nearby companions, who can pass orders farther along. Reaching someone cut off from the others takes a courier. The runner has to leave their work, reach the recipient, and return, so spreading out means allowing time for instructions to arrive.

Choose how your companions act

Alongside their equipment, companions can carry creeds: rules for how they behave without a direct order. A creed can change whom they attack or when they retreat, and different copies can carry different rules. Your own orders take priority.

Take the company underground

Descend through the undercroft, cistern, and crypt, carrying wounds and supplies between floors. Other scenarios put the company to work on machinery, construction, and the hazards of the terrain.
