Dungeon crawls are the potatoes of fantasy games. They’re a
staple. They’re comforting. They’re versatile. And just when you think you’ve
tried every variety out there, a new type of potato dish or dungeon crawl
emerges.
What’s a dungeon crawl? You’ll find them in video games,
board games, and pen-and-paper role playing games. The first example of a dungeon crawl might be
the Greek story of the labyrinth, the deadly maze designed by Daedalus and
inhabited by a grumpy Minotaur. Essentially, a dungeon crawl involves a group
of adventures exploring an underground, maze-like structure full of traps and
treasure. Oh, and goblins. Usually there are goblins.

For this weekend you can try out a new potato dish for free
on Steam: Guild of Dungeoneering. Apart from the unique art style, Guild of
Dungeoneering adds some fun new gameplay changes to the traditional dungeon
crawl, while incorporating aspects of tabletop RPGs, card games, and—of
course—video games. Instead of controlling the hero, you build a dungeon around
him or her, ensuring the right balance of challenge and reward. In between
dungeon crawls, you help build up your guild of heroes with upgrades and new
adventurers.
I’ll definitely be giving this game some time this weekend.
If it sounds interesting to you, check out their Steam page for more details.
