Description
Explore an unknown dungeon with up to 5 Heroes. The dungeon is created randomly as you explore. Experience over 100 different events that are randomly generated. Each game is a completely different experience. Never play the same game twice in your lifetime.
Single game or campaign play are available either cooperatively or competitively the game system adjusts to either. Dungeon enemies track you, lay in wait for you or follow you. The game system controls the events. As you explore the dungeon each hero has different ways in which they draw unwanted attention. It is up to you the player to manage and control your exposure in the Dungeon. Combat is decided by dice rolls, but the damage is not random.
Events and equipment are card based with over 400 cards. The game has scenarios that are designed for unlimited replayability and story-based campaign scenarios with secrets and surprises.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Ability Acquisition — Abilities are gained through leveling up, but they become bog standard.
- Card drawing — Drawing cards from decks like mist, debris, chest, and body, which often leads to combat.
- Character progression — Players can level up and equip items, but the progression feels trivial and unexciting.
- Combat — Combat involves rolling a D20 to hit enemies, often swarms of minions.
- Dungeon Crawl — The game is a dungeon crawl, with a campaign mode featuring chapters and dungeons.
- exploration — Players explore by moving across tiles and revealing them.
- item acquisition — Players can get better items as they level up, but the items themselves are described as lame.
- Leveling up — Players gain experience to level up, which grants more abilities and allows for better items.
- Threat track — A threat meter that ramps up as players explore or move, which is described as significantly better in the campaign mode than in one-shots.

Quotes (from this video)
- everything just about this just isn't exciting to me
- it almost feels like it's I don't know like scripted in some way or repetitive in what you do
- all of that just feels so mundane about like your your items are still lame your abilities are cool when you're first using them but then they just become so bog standard
- we fight the same minions over and over and it's always just swarms of Minions that requires you to just stand on a tile and look at a row of you know grid of 3x3 uh and just roll a D20 and see if they hit
- I really don't find any of that stuff exciting
- your gold feels useless
- I just really think that the core element of of this game is not enhanced by a campaign mode
- none of the items you ever get feel awesome
- it almost feels like it's just tacked together
- you never feel like you're getting cool loot or ramping up and feeling epic
- whenever I'm comparing it to other dungeon crawls when you level up it's like a big deal
- it felt so trivial
- I don't find the Lord the dungeon Lords exciting or like a big bad
- unfortunately I think the campaign mode doesn't enhance this from where I would ever want to try this again
- I'm having a hard time finding anything about this that I actually enjoy
- it's just tedious to play
- the story is not great
- the minions are sycophantic
- the items I mean you just and the reason why they flood you with minions is so you can just get through this massive deck of of loot
- because half the time you won't even be a good enough level to to get it
- it just gives you a few P more power okay like that's not exciting
- this feels like this would have been awesome 15 years ago in like 2009 2010
- now there it just doesn't stack up to almost any campaign that's like this
- hell even if it's not a campaign game it doesn't feel like it Stacks up to any other Dungeon Crawl
- I have no intention of actually doing any more chapters because I just don't like the core system
- it's still all the same stuff everything that's here on the table is what's going to be there and you can't really modify that in any interesting way because you've seen it
- I don't like five it's average I guess it works
- I hate the rule book the player r is ass
- I'm like between a four and a five slightly below average to average at best
- I don't want to play this again if someone asked me I i' be it'd be a hard pass because I don't really have many redeeming qualities
- it's just that I find it completely boring every step of the way

Pros
- The campaign might be the intended way to play and could fix the issues found in the one-shots.
- The hit chance mechanic is unique and simpler to understand than traditional roll-high systems.
- The idea of pre-set dungeons for campaign scenarios is seen as a positive.
Cons
- The one-shot experience is described as boring, generic, and disappointing.
- The rules are confusing and poorly organized, making the game difficult to learn and play correctly.
- Character progression is too slow, making it impossible to feel powerful or utilize better gear in one-shots.
- The threat meter mechanic often leads to unwinnable situations in one-shots.
- The loot system is unrewarding, with chests yielding mostly gold that has limited use.
- The game feels like a grind, with little payoff for the effort invested.
- The art on equipment is compared to clip art.
- The campaign book's structure is criticized for having limited scenario pages and the rest being campaign content.
Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Mass of Darkness
- Arcadia Quest
- Isofarian Guard
- Marvel Zombies
- Dungeon Run
- Mass Moria
- Oaths
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Character progression — Characters gain experience (XP) to level up and acquire new abilities. However, the rate of XP gain is criticized as too slow, making it difficult to reach higher levels within the scope of one-shot scenarios.
- Combat — Players engage in combat with enemies. The hit chance mechanic, where a lower roll is better, is mentioned as a unique aspect, but the overall combat experience in one-shots is deemed unrewarding due to the difficulty of the enemies and the Dungeon Lord.
- crafting — There is a crafting system that allows characters to craft unique gear, but the time and resources required make it difficult to utilize effectively, especially in one-shot games.
- Loot/Chests — Players can find loot by opening chests. However, the loot is predominantly gold, which has limited utility for purchasing gear, especially at low levels.
- Scenario Objectives — Objectives in one-shots, such as finding a specific tile or defeating a sentinel, are often seen as mundane and lacking excitement. The goal of simply escaping is also criticized.
- Threat meter — A central mechanic that increases with player actions, potentially triggering the appearance of the Dungeon Lord. The reviewers found this mechanic frustrating and poorly implemented in one-shots, as it often led to premature losses.
