ENTER THE DUNGEON. BUILD YOUR HERO. REACH ROOM 100. RUNGEON is a roguelite RPG dungeon crawler with automatic turn-based combat. Fight your way through 100 rooms, defeat increasingly powerful enemies, choose upgrades after every victory, and build a hero strong enough to face the final boss. EVERY ROOM IS A FIGHT Each run takes you deeper into the dungeon, one room at a time. Every room contains a new enemy, and every 10 rooms brings a powerful boss. The deeper you go, the harder the fights become. Adapt your build, make the right choices, and see how far your hero can survive. BUILD YOUR CHARACTER After every victory, choose one of three random stat upgrades. Your choices shape your build for the rest of the run. Improve: • Attack • Max HP • Critical Chance • Block Chance • Dodge Chance • Lifesteal • Regeneration Build for raw damage, critical hits, evasion, defense, sustain, or a combination of different stats. No two runs have to play the same way. CHOOSE YOUR HERO Start your journey as the Warrior and unlock additional heroes as you progress. • Warrior — A balanced fighter built for reliable combat. • Thief — A fast and deadly hero focused on critical hits and evasion. • Mage — A powerful offensive hero built around devastating attacks. • Paladin — A resilient hero designed to survive the toughest battles. Each hero starts with different stats, giving you new ways to approach every run. 100 ROOMS. 10 BOSSES. 1 FINAL BATTLE. Push through increasingly dangerous enemies and reach the deepest part of the dungeon. • 100 rooms to conquer • A boss every 10 rooms • Random upgrades after every victory • Multiple character builds • Four heroes to unlock • Increasing difficulty throughout the dungeon • A final boss waiting in Room 100 ONE RUN. 100 ROOMS. HOW FAR CAN YOU GO? RUNGEON combines automatic turn-based combat with the replayability of a roguelite and the progression of a classic RPG dungeon crawler. Enter the dungeon. Fight. Choose your upgrades. Build your hero. Reach the final boss. Then start another run and try a different build. FIGHT. CHOOSE. IMPROVE. REPEAT.
