A cheerful tower-defense-like game where you set up traps and monsters to protect your dungeon from invading heroes, feeling like a playful reversal of classic fantasy tropes.

What players say
Players say it keeps the fun of the board game but some find the controls odd and the UI cluttered, especially for resource tracking. A minority warns against the digital version in its current state.
