Dungeon Clawler in IOS

Claw Machine Roguelike

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

89/100

Dungeon Clawler is one of the most inventive roguelikes I've played in years. It takes the familiar 'deck-builder' formula and literally puts it inside a claw machine. Instead of drawing cards, you use a physical claw to grab items you've added to your bin. The physics-based nature of the game adds a layer of hilarious and tense unpredictability; that powerful sword you really need might be buried under a pile of useless rocks, or you might accidentally grab a bomb that hurts you instead of the enemy.

The art style is charmingly quirky, and the synergies between items are incredibly deep. You can build a 'claw-focused' run that makes your grab stronger, or an 'item-focused' run that fills the bin with so many goodies you can't miss. It’s a perfect example of a game that takes a simple, relatable concept and expands it into a high-stakes, strategic adventure. A must-play for roguelike fans.

Nope! The physics are 100% fair. If you miss, it's all about your aim and the way the items have settled in the bin.
