Andy Sum writes in with word that his company Jigxor is working on a turn-based, multiplayer co-op dungeon crawler by the name of Dungeon Dashers (not to be confused with its free, single-player predecessor Dungeon Dash). The feature list includes: Up to four-players playing together as a team over the internet Hand-made dungeons (not procedurally […]

Word has it that there’s a first-person RPG on the horizon with a “literally infinite” game world. It goes by the name Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox (which sounds to me like Stan Marsh’s older sister trying to say “equinox”). Interestingly, it seems Malevolence features turn-based, grid-based movement a la the early Might and Magic […]

This game is actually a remake of the first Avernum, originally released as Exile: Escape From the Pit. The remake runs on the most up-to-date version of the Avernum […]

Jay Barnson decided a few weeks back that it was time for another indie news round-up. Unfortunately, I was just ever-so-slightly too out-of-town at the time to post about it. However, now that I’m back and working through my backlog of IndieRPGs stuff, it’s time for me to make up for lost time. The world […]

Finally! The real-time first-person dungeon crawler Legend of Grimrock is out. You may recall that Legend of Grimrock is a graphically impressive successor to the classic Dungeon Master, featuring party creation, a food / hunger system, and real-time grid-based movement and combat as you explore the dungeon-y depths of Mount Grimrock.

Fair warning: it’s really […]

Jeff Sullins of Empire Forge Software writes in to tell me about the upcoming RPG Forge of Legends. He describes it as a turn-based first-person dungeon crawler similar in kind to Wizardry 7: the player will form a party of six characters, crafted by the player by combining races, classes, and other options. The player […]

I’m a bit late with this, since developer Mario Gaida didn’t email me upon his game’s release. Regardless, a little investigation on my part confirms that the Bard’s Tale-inspired first-person dungeon crawler Silver Sword is now out and is updated to version 2.09. It’s iOS-only, however–PC gamers are out of luck on this one. If […]

It didn’t take long, folks. Shortly after my post about Mysterious Castle, Matthew Downie writes in to me with news that he, too, is working on a new tactical roguelike. This one is called Dungeon Bash Tactics: Dungeon Bash Tactics is a free single-player turn-based mouse-controlled, random dungeon, loot & leveling game with a minimalist […]

We have a roguelike double-header today. Developers Cascade Studios and WombatRPGs have released a new, free roguelike by the name of Steel Knights.
