Anybody more used to swinging a sword than penning a novella can ditch wordle with an intriguing new dungeon crawler called Dungleon.
With the incredible success of a simple social word game, it seems the Wordle-like has been born. Brazilian indie developers Felipe Dal Molin and Bruno Ruchiga announced a brand new Wordle inspired dungeon crawler a few days ago and we’ve been enthralled by the idea ever since. Head scratcher Dungelon ditches the dictionary and word based debauchery that has been all of Twitter of late and swaps in a tale of might and magic. Instead of letters, players picking up this daily adventure will find an array of heroes, monsters, and loot in front of them.
We made a wordle-like!https://t.co/TP42dtrZ6f is a "guess the dungeon" game, with a new dungeon every day. Easy to guess, hard to master.

Spread across a 5 by 6 square grid, cute retro characters represent typical components of any serious dungeon crawler, and this time around players will need to guess the dungeon layout by selecting the correct pieces in the right order. Featuring art by pixel artist Clement Dussol, this rogueish title has a total of 20 items to choose from, some magical bonus spells to help along the way, and a huge possible combination of dungeons to guess. This all might seem utterly random but developer Felipe Dal Molin has noted that there are some secret rules hidden in the depths of these dungeons that will reveal themselves as players become familiar with the potential dungeon layouts.
If you’re more of a gallant knight than a bookworm it might be time to try your hand at this dungeoneering. You can play Dungleon for free, with no ads, and without any subscription over on the official website now. Check out our first run above. How did you do?
