How it feels

A strategic turn-based dungeon crawl through a fantasy board game world, where each move feels deliberate and quest-driven.

What players say

Players call this a simple, short dungeon crawler that evokes the board game Hero Quest. It clearly shows its mobile port origins in clunky controls, like being unable to use items after moving or trade between party members. Many agree the sequel is much better, and the campaign only takes about four hours.
