About This Game

Dungeons & Death is a top-down action rogue lite about fighting your way solo or with friends through a dangerous campaign, one expedition at a time.

Choose the between Warrior, Wizard, Rogue or Monk. Chain light and running attacks, charge heavy blows, block, parry, grapple and launch enemies into the environment. Build your class with randomized level ups and hidden skills besides your own skill tree. Combine skills alone or with other players to uncover powerful combos.

- Play solo or online. Play alone or with up to four heroes through Steam lobbies and friend invites.

- Four classes with different combat identities. Defend, cast, ambush or fight hand-to-hand with class skills and upgrade paths.

- Action through combat. Block, parry, charge, grapple and launch enemies, then learn the status reactions and combos that tie the party together.

- Overcharging-System: Overcharge skills and pay the overcharging price with your health for ultimate attacks and infinite scaling.

- Quick, standard or long expeditions. Choose the size of the run before setting out; no fixed minute count is promised.

- Routes that can surprise you. Face changing objectives, events, elite affixes and hidden paths.

- An optional human Director. A player can take the seat of the director who uses a command palette and skill tree and limited resources to pressure the party, possess enemies and become spawn your own Dark Hero the Black Knight. 

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Development used generative tools to assist with pre-generated pixel-art characters, environments, UI, effects and reference images (PixelLab and OpenAI image generation); pre-generated sound effects and voices (ElevenLabs); pre-generated music (Stable Audio); and portions of game code, tests and documentation (OpenAI Codex, Claude Code). Outputs were selected, edited, integrated and tested by the developer. The shipped game does not generate AI content at runtime and does not send player prompts to an AI service.
