About the Game

Introduction

I thought I had fulfilled my duty - the dungeon cleared, the head of the Fallen One delivered to the king's court. Clearly I must have overlooked some evil minions. Moreover, while escaping, they took the Slavic Gods statues with them, master controlling them, thus becoming powerful foes. Now I have been blamed for the evil spreading throughout the country and am forced to sort it out. It's gonna be tough ...

Gameplay

Once upon a Dungeon II is a traditional roguelike game with a scent of Slavic mythology.
Dive into adventure mode by talking to NPCs, obtaining quests, progressing through the open world and dungeons. Help king forces to defeat protectors of the old faith or rather take the opposite side.
Dungeon crawling fans can just focus on exploration and fighting, the game is not forcing quests.
