This is especially so when you get a replacement for whichever character just died after one more level attempt. With its hilarious voice over from your bardic narrator explaining the terrible things that happen in game in whimsical yet ominous verse, the death of a character is not the be all and end all. Where this would normally be a complaint and a sleight against the game, Guild of Dungeoneering is designed to make this eventuality fun. So you may find yourself throwing your lackeys through the meat-grinder in the hopes of discovering how best to tackle the level.

This creates an excellent way to control your character’s growth for the run.Īside from the characters always beginning at level one in each new dungeon, the player soon discovers whilst playing the game that Guild of Dungeoneering is not afraid to murder your adventurers.
