Dungeon Splat blends classic arcade energy with crisp modern effects, fluid movement and satisfyingly colorful splats. It feels instantly familiar—but every labyrinth holds a new adventure. A THOUSAND ROOMS AWAIT Battle through nine phases and one thousand neon arcade inspired rooms. Your journey begins in small chambers before expanding into sprawling, multi-screen labyrinths filled with twisting passages and paths that fold back upon themselves.
