[What is Dandy Dungeon?]
- A rogue-like with simple mechanics and hard-core depth!
- Oodles of content: more than 90 dungeon types, over 560 weapons & armour and 260+ monsters
- Experience a unique harmony of chip-tunes and humming?! Over 140 tracks!
- Heaven’s Door: a 99 floor, post-game challenge dungeon!
- Collaborations galore! Meet RPG composer Nobuo Uematsu and Touhou Project’s Zun too!
[GAME SYSTEM]
Dungeon crawling is simply a matter of tracing a single path through each floor, but it’s not as simple as all that! We crammed every inch of the game’s 5x5 grid-based roguelike dungeons with variety!
But, truth be told, Dandy Dungeon’s simplistic exterior belies a game with many hidden depths. Winning or losing is all down to the player. You’ll need to know all about the magic-reflecting Magic Barrier, the inescapable wrath of Thunderall, the all-powerful draw of the Magnet, the penetrating attack of the spear, the all-powerful blow of the axe and the like in order to conquer the game’s dungeons.
[HUMMING MUSIC]
Middle-aged man music...? Middle-aged jingles?!
Yamada’s world is full of weird and wonderful sounds, from the start of a dungeon, the discovery of a danger zone, levelling up and Yamada’s mysterious shouts of ‘Arabesque!’.
Wundabaraba baba scat tunes for the boss monsters, the Indian programming genius’ tune, and let’s not forget that song from the Mysterious Hard Labor Zone… Who on earth greenlit all these oddball tunes?
The comic-prince of chiptunes, Keichi Sugiyama joins forces with Enka BOSSA’s founder and singer, Caorinho Fujiwara to create an audio experience you won’t find elsewhere! And mystery singer Nagasa Bonus, whose smooth voice flows over the chiptunes of the English version’s theme song: ”Retrograde life”.
