Ah, Dungeonmans, what a silly, quite humble, yet such vast of a game with tons to offer.

First time i found out about it was when a certain youtuber began making letsplay videos on it, and it quickly caught my eye. The extreme replayability, various build options and the over-the-top humor that really fits the dungeon game setting are all qualities that just work so well together. As a gen Z user, i am not particularly used to the old dungeoncrawler controls, and such it took some time, but much like with many other games, this soon becomes natural. The graphics are immediately something you notice, very retro, yet so oddly relaxing to admire, and definitely iconic for this game. All the NPC and enemy sprites are well-crafted, as are the environments. Did i mention the map is different each time you play?

You may be asking how unforgiving this game is when it comes to dying, as it is a roguelite after all.

Not much! Not too much to make each death something you just wave a hand over, but each subsequent characters you make in the same save will gradually get stronger thanks to the combined efforts of the previous, now deceased characters. There is a option to make the game harder, of course.


I havent even finished the game yet, there's so many things to try out and learn, the game map is fairly large and you can even manually generate yourself more things to do thanks to various friendly NPCs.

I havent really talked about how the game plays specifically, but thats to not spoil anything. The combat is turn-based though, and has no time limit, meaning you can take your sweet time thinking your decisions through. A very relaxing experience that does not cause any more stress than it needs to.

There is a small discord server for dungeonmans, including the devs' other projects, and while the community is small, there are a few active people who are always friendly and willing to help a fellow dungeonman.

If you like roguelites, love something to sink many hours into with extreme replayability, buy this game. It's only a few bucks, and you will support the passionate devs who worked hard on making a hidden gem such as this.


The game is still getting updates, bringing plenty of content. It is not dated at all.

Highly recommend.
