A bit buggy and it crashes, but was an essential part of my gaming upbringing and a fire roguelike.

About This Game
What they have, unfortunately, is you...
Step into the Dungeons of Dredmor! Embrace your destiny! Face evil of the likes the world has never known - the terrifying Swarmies, the undulating Thrusties, and the adoreable nest-building Diggles. Worship Inconsequentia, the Goddess of Pointless Sidequests, or try your luck as a devotee of the nameless Lutefisk God. Cast powerful magic learned from the dark business warlocks of the school of Necronomiconomics, or summon the Viking Runes of your ancestors to blast your foes with thunder and lightning! Discover the power that can be had by wielding a bizarre armament of devastating weaponry such as the Interdimensional Axe, the Plastic Ring, and the Invisible Shield (if you can remember where you left it). Wield shoes decorated by the Dwarven Glittersmiths, all of whom have now committed suicide because of their shame, and embrace the joys of destroying giant moustache-wielding brick demons with a mace decorated with tawdry, delicious bacon.
While you’re at it, be prepared to die. A lot. In hideous, screaming pain that makes you throw your keyboard out the window.
The Dungeons of Dredmor await. Are you ready for them?

User Reviews
Dungeons of Dredmor is a roguelike dungeon crawler that blends dark humor, complex mechanics, and classic pixel art to create an experience that appeals to both veteran players of the genre and newcomers alike. Developed by Gaslamp Games, the title embraces traditional roguelike elements such as procedural generation, permadeath, and turn-based combat, while infusing them with a distinctly quirky personality. This combination of challenging gameplay and offbeat humor results in a game that is as engaging as it is unpredictable, demanding careful strategy, adaptability, and a good sense of humor to survive its deep and deadly dungeons. The game plunges you into the labyrinthine depths of the Dungeons of Dredmor, where you play a hapless adventurer tasked with descending through floors teeming with monsters, traps, and treasures. The procedural generation ensures that each playthrough offers a unique layout and assortment of challenges, significantly enhancing replayability. The game’...
It has been years since I purchased, and years since I played...yet...I cannot bring myself to reinstall and play again. The game bored me upon initial attempt, and I do not wish to retry.
6/10 A good introduction to the roguelike genre, the build a class system is fun and unique. Biggest downside is a lack of proper UI scaling, so playing on a 4K monitor was an eyesore.
Best dungeon game I've ever played.

It's very fun and there is a lot of stuff to see and enjoy.
