Dungeon Lords
Build a dungeon, hire monsters, and repel those pesky adventurers
Who it's for
Players who appreciate Vlaada Chvátil's darkly comic designs. The reversed perspective makes familiar mechanics feel fresh and funny.
Not for you if…
Skip if you want a forgiving game — the adventurers are relentless and mistakes compound. The humor carries a genuinely heavy strategy game.
Vibe's take
Humorous, strategic, chaotic, punishing
About this game
Reverse dungeon-crawler where you build and manage a dungeon to fend off invading adventurers. Hire monsters, dig tunnels, set traps, and manage your evil reputation — all while juggling limited actions through a clever worker-placement system. Darkly humorous throughout.
