Dungeon Within

Our take

Playing as the Dark Lord defending your own dungeon against invading heroes is a nice twist on a stale formula, and the developer’s other games suggest they know how to make retro mechanics feel deliberate rather than lazy. The install numbers are modest, so treat the high rating as promising rather than proven at scale.
