DungeonRift is an unexpected blast, something you actually have fun with. It’s a 2D, hand-drawn, silly and amusing dungeon crawler in which you take on the role of the noble Sir Bucket.

There is no story behind the knight’s predicament, or explanation as to why a medieval helmet-like bucket can swing a sword. What’s clear is that he has to fight his way out of this mess and that won’t be easy.

DungeonRift throws you into a randomized dungeon and leaves you to fight a number of interesting foes. They’re your usual bunch of antagonists and along they way, they have some surprises instored for you, not the pleasant kind, of course.

As you fight, you gain experience and with it, levels. You gradually become a tougher bucket but so do the monsters and as they reach higher levels, they can dent you really bad with just one hit. Each monster has a certain kind of personality and as they level up, they gain abilities that make them tougher to kill or allows them to smash you with ease.

Either way, the cast in this game is great. What's more, DungeonRift comes with a Polandball or Country Balls game mode. If you have a pinch of xenophobe in you, you might find this amusing or downright offensive so... try it out, I guess. Seeing Poland fight a fat US using a plunger is amusing. However, keep an open mind as DungeonRift is not built to offend anyone or any country.

You can’t really say that DungeonRift is an intense game but combat is kind of tough. There are several types of weapons to use and each one has a different attack mechanic. You can collect items that enhance your hero and other stuff you generally find in a dungeon crawler or RPG.

DungeonRift is a simple game but it’s that kind of simple which attracts. It’s borderline addictive, more so if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers.

On a closing note, DungeonRift is whimsical and it clearly doesn’t take itself very seriously. It is a well-polished game with a unique look that is just what you need to play when you want to kick back and relax.

What's new in DungeonRift 27.06.2016 Update:

  • We’ve made difficulty settings! We haven’t touched HP or damage of anything in attempt to preserve the “feel” and balance of the game. Therefore all three difficulties got a lot in common, but “Easier” difficulty will be more forgiving in terms of heal amount from all sources, cooldowns between monsters’ attacks and traps’ activations. Actually we don’t have a lot of skill-variety players inside our team, so these settings will be adjusted in future - we’re looking for your feedback!
  • Another change is monsters behaviour, especially of Ralph, Terry and Kimberly. They are considered “beasts” now and will act accordingly. With less head-on attacks, basically.
  • User Interface was upgraded a little, now if you have a crown it’ll be placed above your HP cuz it’s basically an extra health. Also there is a little star near your secondary weapon, if it’s upgraded, as well as a little speedometer appears after an agility upgrade.
  • We’ve tweaked our local-coop a little: now camera zoom is a little less confusing and more smooth. Also only one player will receive healing for reaching a portal in par-time, which we hope will be used both tactically and competitively, depending of players’ mood. =)
