Our Expert Score

82/100

Dungeon and Gravestone is a unique, voxel-style roguelike that successfully blends the tension of a 'Mystery Dungeon' title with the accessibility of an action-RPG. The 'Gravestone' mechanic is the standout feature; when you die, you can leave a message for other players, and your previous attempts actually influence the world in small ways. It creates a sense of community in a genre that is usually very solitary.

The combat is simple but requires careful positioning, and the 'hunger' mechanic keeps you moving so you can't just camp in one spot. The voxel art is charming and keeps the dark dungeon atmosphere from feeling too oppressive. It’s a challenging game where death is frequent, but the permanent upgrades and the curiosity of what’s on the next floor keep you coming back. It’s a great pick for fans of 'Enter the Gungeon' or 'Shiren the Wanderer' who want something with a unique social twist.

Dungeon and Gravestone is a deep roguelike RPG set in an ever-shifting voxel world. Enter the dungeon to seek out treasure and uncover the secrets of the world, but be prepared for a challenge—death is always around the corner. When you perish, leave a gravestone with a message for other adventurers to find. Every run provides new layouts, traps, and enemies. Use the gold you find to upgrade your hero permanently and push deeper into the darkness. With its unique social features and addictive 'just one more run' gameplay, it's a fresh take on the classic dungeon crawler.

Features

Procedurally generated dungeon layouts

Unique social 'Gravestone' message system

Charming voxel-art style and atmosphere

Challenging roguelike mechanics and bosses

Permanent character upgrades and progression

Tips

Managing the Blood Level

Your character has a 'Blood Level' that constantly drains. If it hits zero, you die. Collecting blood from defeated enemies or finding pools of blood is more important than finding gold. Always plan your route to the next exit based on where the nearest blood source is located.

The Gravestone Legacy

When you die, your gravestone appears in the same spot for other players online. You can read their tips (or warnings!) to avoid traps or find hidden items that they missed. Interacting with other gravestones is the key to surviving the deeper, more trap-heavy levels.
