## What is Word Dungeons?

Word Dungeons features classic word game fun with an immersive twist. Grab the letters you're given 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 the dungeon. Escape and flaunt your glory to the world on the leaderboard. Try a harder difficulty, find more secret treasure or go for a higher score in a fresh run. Each playthrough is randomized for endless replay-ability! 



Features:
- Randomized words, loot drops, dungeon layouts and events.
- Rouge-lite style gameplay where death is permanent, but saving your progress is an option!
- A unique and dynamic original soundtrack that evolves as you progress.
- 3 Levels of difficulty from simple and relaxing to challenging and unforgiving. Try Hardcore mode for the ultimate challenge!

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 its 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!

### 3/5 — Decent game

*2025-11-11*

Problem is it gives you the answers ten seconds into the game. This ruins the challenge.

### 5/5 — Great word game.

*2024-05-24*

If you like word games and dungeons, you can’t go wrong.

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2024-05-20*

I like this game very much!  If you skip the exit, you can continue playing while keeping all your runes and perks. (Don’t exit on your first play-through.) The only thing I don’t like is the fact that once you escape there is no option to exit the map. You have to close the game in order to start again. But this is an innovative game, and well worth the price. (And it has NO ADS!)

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your positive feedback! The issue you had with the map has been addressed in the most recent patch (version 1.2) along with other new features. 

Thanks again for playing!

### 5/5 — My god

*2024-05-14*

I can’t believe I’ve finally found it…something I’ve been searching for ever since….well, you know. Right when I was about to give up, when I was going to turn away from the pain, this game showed up in my life like a deus ex machina and lifted me from my misery. Thank you, Word Dungeons, some day I hope to return the favor. Great game.

### 5/5 — Very cool game

*2024-05-10*

Very cool game. Enjoyed it to far.

### 2/5 — Too many non-English words

*2024-05-09*

Good game . . . if it were primarily in English. Too much slang, and too many made up words to really classify it as a word game. 

Tha HUD has a bad habit of covering up important screen information as well. Other that, pretty good.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-05-05*

A unique concept, interesting art style, and engaging gameplay loop make this THE game of 2024 for me!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-04-21*

Would have given 5 stars except there are a couple of bugs that need ironing out. First of all the loading time is quite long. Also, I’m playing on an iPad Pro 12.9in and I have to turn my iPad upside down to play, it won’t load in any other way. One more thing, the top left word is obscured by the life bar, I can zoom but then I can’t see the words.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-04-20*

Can’t play. The app hangs after name entry.

**Developer response:** UPDATE: Should be fixed now!

Hey Oscar, sorry about the issue.

It is likely caused by the Leaderboard server either being down, or a connection issue on your end. Either way, we will work on a fix to prevent the game from hanging up when this happens ASAP, expect a fix within a few days to a week.

Thank you for your feedback, and again I apologize for your experience.

### 5/5 — Amazing for EVERY situation and time of day!

*2024-04-18*

Awkward family dinners? Traveling? Getting dragging to shops by your wife? 
This games for you!! 
It is cognitively stimulating and surprisingly challenging. Everyone with ADHD’s worst nightmare but the best loss of time you can buy.
