How it feels

A methodical, turn-based dungeon crawl where each procedurally generated descent feels tense and unpredictable, culminating in a climactic reversal as you fight your way back up.

What players say

Players describe DA_RL as a fun traditional roguelike with a Dungeons &amp, Dragons feel. They praise the developer for being active, responsive to feedback, and quick with updates. Some note the game works well with a gamepad and offers good value for its price, though one reviewer found the early floors repetitive.
