About

Dungeon Souls is a 2D hack n' slash roguelike dungeon crawler. The objective is for the player to stay alive throughout the course of the game. Each level is randomly generated so each playthrough has a unique environment and challenges. The player's goal is to search and activate all the marks placed in each level to unlock the dungeon and hopefully escape. However, players will encounter different obstacles in the labyrinthine dungeons. Players can collect various items and upgrades to counter the dungeon's dark forces.

Run in swinging, snipe from a distance, or toss a stream of fireballs, but always keep fighting because there’s rarely a spare moment to think. The monsters and bosses of Dungeon Souls are dead-set against seeing you escape, but practice, determination and getting to grips with the different characters will eventually pay off with a win. And then it’s back down to the dungeons again, because one victory is rarely ever enough.

Its wealth of content stems from the fact that Dungeon Souls is a just a giant soup of all other roguelites – something that often works against it. I have the feeling that Lamina Studios were going for a ‘Best of Roguelikes’ with Dungeon Souls, but it ends up as more of a showcase of the best and worst the genre has to offer.

Dungeon Souls is one heck of a game. You play as a hero whose soul is snatched and trapped in a spiritual hell. Unfortunately, with its amount of replayability, the game has managed to snag my soul as well. And I don't think I'll be getting out of this one any time soon, nor would I want to.

Dungeon Souls provides ample fun for those who enjoy roguelikes. It borrows a lot from other games (Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, Nuclear Throne, to name a few), and while it doesn’t do much to differentiate itself, it’s still a fun dungeon-crawling hack ‘n slash adventure for quite a few hours.
