About the Game

Word Dungeons features classic word game style gameplay with an immersive twist. Grab your letters and try to find as many words as you can. Discover the power of the runes - an ancient power that can aid you in your journey through the Dungeon. Acquire loot and use it to grow your power and discover the secrets hidden within. Escape with all of the loot you acquired or meet your untimely fate in the Dungeon walls. With your newly expanded lexicon, dive into another Dungeon and try your luck once more!

Harness the Power Of the Runes:

Your journey through the Dungeon will undoubtedly be an arduous one, luckily, you have the Runes. Each Rune has it's own unique power that grows stronger as you collect more. Use them in a pinch to get those last few words, or hang on to them as long as you can to maximize their strength.

Discover Secrets Within:

Spread throughout the Dungeon are mysterious events where you can utilize the loot you've acquired throughout the Dungeon. Trade with the mysterious cyclops merchant, use your keys to open chests, and more!

Features:

  • Every new playthrough features a new randomly generated dungeon!
  • Rouge-lite style gameplay where death is permanent, but saving your progress is an option!
  • A fully dynamic original soundtrack that changes as you descend through the dungeon!
  • An endless experience: get as far as you can! Play with your friends (remote-play supported) and break the game!
  • 22 Achievements including a few special challenge achievements to test your skills beyond the standard progression!
  • Infinitely replayable -- escape as quickly as you can, or get the highest score you possibly can, there's always room to improve!
