Huge, huge fun and addicting as you could possibly imagine...
Rogue Dungeon is a digitally adapted solo dungeon crawler developed and published by Cerberus Gate Games, drawing heavy inspiration from classic tabletop adventure systems. Rather than presenting a fast-paced action roguelike, it leans into turn-based decision-making, dice-driven outcomes, and methodical progression. The result is a game that feels like a compact digital board game, where every encounter is governed by calculated risks, resource management, and the ever-present uncertainty of a dice roll. At the beginning of each run, players choose a rogue adventurer and prepare to descend into a multi-level dungeon filled with monsters, traps, merchants, and escalating threats. The core gameplay loop revolves around exploring rooms, drawing encounters, resolving combat, and managing limited resources such as health, food, and consumables. Combat is resolved through dice rolls modified by character attributes, meaning that preparation and stat development matter just as much as luck. A strong roll can swiftly dispatch an enemy, while a poor one can leave both sides wounded. This unpredictability keeps tension high, particularly in later dungeon floors where enemies become more formidable. Exploration unfolds through a structured map system rather than free-form movement. Players choose which rooms to enter, balancing potential rewards against possible dangers. Some rooms contain traders who offer valuable equipment in exchange for gold or stat checks. Others conceal traps that can be disarmed or endured depending on the player’s build and gear. This room-selection mechanic reinforces the game’s strategic foundation, as each decision can alter the trajectory of a run. Entering a risky encounter may yield rare loot, but it may also exhaust precious resources needed for the dungeon’s deeper levels. Progression comes through experience points earned from defeating enemies and surviving encounters. Leveling up allows players to increase core attributes, improving combat effectiveness and survivability. Because leveling can be done at chosen moments rather than automatically, players must decide whether to invest immediately or push further into the dungeon before committing points. This adds a layer of long-term planning, especially when facing the dungeon’s final boss on the deepest floor. The roguelike structure ensures that death resets the journey, encouraging players to refine strategies over successive runs. One of Rogue Dungeon’s strengths lies in its thematic cohesion. It captures the essence of classic fantasy dungeon delving, complete with treasure hoards, lurking beasts, and tense corridor-by-corridor progression. The minimalist presentation focuses on clarity rather than spectacle, emphasizing stats, dice results, and card-style encounters. While the visuals are not elaborate, they serve the mechanical depth of the game, allowing players to concentrate on tactical choices rather than animation. However, the game’s reliance on randomness can be divisive. Dice rolls and shuffled encounters create variability that enhances replayability, but they can also produce frustrating outcomes when luck turns against the player. Success often requires understanding the balance between preparation and risk, yet even well-planned runs can unravel due to unfortunate rolls. For players who appreciate tabletop-inspired uncertainty, this adds excitement. For those who prefer more deterministic systems, it may feel unforgiving. Replay value is one of the title’s key strengths. Each run offers a different combination of encounters, loot, and strategic decisions. Because there is no fixed path through the dungeon, players are encouraged to experiment with varied stat builds and risk-taking approaches. Over time, familiarity with encounter patterns and resource management deepens mastery, making later successes feel earned rather than accidental. Ultimately, Rogue Dungeon stands as a focused, strategy-driven roguelike that prioritizes thoughtful planning and tabletop-inspired mechanics over fast-paced action. It appeals strongly to players who enjoy turn-based systems, dice-driven combat, and the slow burn of dungeon exploration. While its heavy reliance on chance may not suit every audience, it delivers a cohesive and replayable experience for those who appreciate classic dungeon-crawling tension translated into a digital format.

This game is cute. The dice roller is ♥♥♥♥. Streaks of 10s or 1s which ever is death. And it happens regularly enough to be annoying.
Great adaptation of one of my favorite dungeon delvers. Fun and addictive character progression with use of randomized loot and skill growth. Anyone that has played the card/board game or is a fan of Iron Helm Card game will really enjoy this game.
Une petite merveille pour les rôliste et Board gamers : https://youtu.be/-rSh3yAlEO4
Fun quick abstract dungeon crawl! I like the process of learning the dungeon cards over time and familiarising with why you'd want to hold on to specific items that superficially seem useless. The way the character develops is surprisingly varied as well over the game (despite being relatively a small differences such as when you're character levels up 1 of 4 stats or holding a resource you can discard to avoid a pitfall). Game's tuned to be super difficult (i think an experienced player's average win rate is supposed to be around 40% of the time), which should give you an idea on whether you'd enjoy this game. I don't mind losing as the game is forgiving enough with it's play time and i Feel like it does add alot of tension to the decisions at key points. Otherwise this PC edition comes with a campaign mode which allows you to completely optimise your character to win (dungeons with the same seed with a mechanic that lets you fully deck you're character out with unlockable shop cards), which smartly caters to players that want more agency (though this mode of play will be less replayable due the dungeons having the same seeds...that's when I'd assume you'd transfer to the original mode of game that perfectly recreates the board game experience.) Great job devs!
This is definitely a game that is going to depend on your tastes, with the vast majority of it being like pineapple on pizza... it's either a selling point for you or a reason you'll hate it. * Rogue - For those unfamiliar, this means the game is pretty unforgiving and dying often is an expected part of the fun. Likewise, early success is all luck while the more experience you gain the less luck impacts the outcome. At this time it is more of a rogue-like than a rogue-lite (like means no progression between runs, lite means you get bonuses that carry over). At this time you can unlock additional characters as you play. It sounds like the campaign mode will likely flip it from rogue-like to rogue-lite. * High on RNG - For the most part your decisions are in which order to tackle things and when to expend resources. Much of the rest of the game is dice rolls and you only influence those by your attributes (raised very slowly with xp) or by an extremely limited supply of luck tokens. * Strictly faithful to the boardgame - This game does not deviate from it's original board game at this time (aside from unlocking characters), take from that what you will The list of negatives is pretty short and all easy fixes: * Rulebook button is greyed out? (Big tip: you can download the rulebook from the thegamecrafter site where you can buy the physical copy) (Note for devs: Even if it's expected to be updated and you just slap a note of "this may change before release" or some such, it would be helpful to either toss the rulebook on the steam page or include it in the game download) * Tool tips are displayed under the mouse, they should probably be moved to display offset * Tool tips should include more than just the name of the attribute you're looking at, they could also include notes about it such as the formula for your damage (for those wondering, it's number of weapons matching your "key attribute" with a maximum of your lowest attribute)
UI is so bad, that is barely playable. maybe on mobiles that's would acceptable, but on PC it is too painful.
Thanks for updating this to the second edition.
Game is very fun for something so simple and it does have replay value. It has just the right amount of skill and RNG that I am enjoying the game so far. I would 100% recommend this game.
