118 Dungeon Crawler games reviewed and scored, best first.
118 reviews
Mojang's accessible, co-op-first loot crawler wearing Minecraft's blocky skin over a Diablo-style structure — broadly loved for local and online co-op, and carrying one specific, heavily documented complaint its own Steam reviews won't let go of.
7 / 10
A neon-pixel run-and-gun roguelite that wears its Binding of Isaac influence openly and well enough to earn Strong critical reviews and a Very Positive Steam score, though a real share of players say the grindy unlock structure and a shrinking item pool wear thin faster than the genre's best.
7 / 10
A shapeshifting action RPG from the makers of Guacamelee whose nineteen unlockable forms draw genuine, specific praise for build variety, undercut by a keyboard-and-mouse experience its own players were still calling broken more than four years after launch, and a co-op mode widely described as an afterthought.
7 / 10
A traditional roguelike that dresses ADOM- and Tales of Maj'Eyal-style permadeath dungeon-crawling in a friendlier interface and a satisfying meta-progression loop, held back by thin originality, patchy quality-of-life and a scattering of run-ending bugs.
7 / 10
A solo-developed bullet-hell roguelite where every spell comes from a six-sided die — reviewed on its complete 20-review sample, which lands squarely in Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne territory while surfacing one real, repeated onboarding complaint worth knowing about first.
7 / 10
Thylacine Studios' third monster-collecting dungeon crawler is Very Positive on Steam and genuinely enormous in scope -- 1,172 Steam achievements' worth of breeding, itemisation and grind -- but its own review history is candid about a crude sense of humour some found genuinely uncomfortable, and most of its longtime fans now point newcomers to its own 2021 successor instead.
7 / 10
A pixel-art dungeon crawler where a slot machine decides what's waiting on every floor — enemies, loot and spells all drawn as reel symbols you then have to walk up to and fight, not wager on. Distinctive, generous with content, and rougher around the edges than its 1.0 label suggests.
7 / 10
A free turn-based idle dungeon crawler that bolts Clicker Heroes-style ascension onto a tavern full of soda-fuelled adventurers, charming enough that thousands of players still recommend it a decade after it started life as a mobile game.
7 / 10
A free auto-battling dungeon crawler that lets you script your party's behaviour instead of just watching it fight, undercut on desktop by menus that never stopped feeling like a phone app and a save file that a bad crash can wipe outright.
7 / 10
A first-person melee roguelike built on a custom, hand-written CPU software renderer by a solo developer with a small but devoted following — several of whom address him by name in their reviews and are already asking what he builds next.
7 / 10
A stylish, well-regarded action RPG whose attractive presentation and witty writing draw consistent early praise, undercut by a recurring complaint that difficulty and balance sour partway through the campaign, compounded by real, recurring bugs and crashes reported across a full decade.
7 / 10
A free browser idle-RPG about running a wizard's lair that quietly became one of the genre's most influential designs, then got left behind by its own creator and kept alive since by a scattered handful of fans.
7 / 10
An action RPG that layers levelling on top of levelling — your character, your skills, your weapons and your items all grow independently — and earns real comparisons to Diablo and Last Epoch for its first ten hours, before a near-universally hated grind wall right before the final boss undoes a lot of that goodwill.
7 / 10
Contingent99's Kickstarter-funded elemental combo roguelite is Very Positive on Steam eight years on, but the single most consistent complaint in its review history -- getting stunlocked by chains of hits with no invincibility frames on the dash -- is exactly the same complaint it launched with in 2018.
7 / 10
A genre classic that reviewers still describe as one of the best CRPGs ever made as recently as this year, held back for a meaningful subset of buyers by a persistent, unresolved technical problem — the Steam release simply failing to launch on modern Windows — that this review found reported as recently as February 2026, seven years after the complaint first appeared.
7 / 10
A dungeon crawler that resurrects the original Wizardry's cruelty almost intact, then wraps it in a gacha character-summoning economy that never quite earns the same trust.
7 / 10
A solo German developer's Diablo-flavoured dwarf brawler — six to nine hours of hammer combos and procedurally reshuffled dungeons for about the price of a coffee, with no co-op and a combat system that occasionally fights the player as hard as the monsters do.
6.8 / 10
A solo-developed guild management idle RPG with eleven classes, eleven tiered professions and hour-long raids, sold once for NZ$7.39 with no ads and nothing else to buy — an ambitious system let down at launch by dungeons and raids that don't repeat on their own, which is a strange gap in a game built around leaving it alone.
6.5 / 10
A ten-year-old pixel dungeon-crawler that never quite decided whether it wants you clicking through fights or leaving them to auto-battle, held together by a four-currency stamina economy that structures every session it doesn't quietly monetise.
6.5 / 10
A dark fantasy roguelite dungeon crawler with a distinctive old-school RuneScape look and a genuine risk-everything extraction structure — reviewed on its complete 15-review sample, which reads as a small solo-developer project fighting real launch-week bugs rather than a broken game.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, addictive clickmash dungeon crawler with a genuine timing-based blocking mechanic, well liked for its first hours, undercut by a real difficulty wall between its first two dungeons and a month of active support that stopped abruptly in early 2024.
6.5 / 10
A grid-free tactical auto-battler where a debut studio builds its progression entirely around unlocking a permanent roster of up to 40 voxel heroes across 90-plus numbered challenges — a real meta-progression system wearing a much busier genre label than its mechanics actually earn, checked against a launch weekend with zero player-count evidence either way.
6.5 / 10
The 1999 Bullfrog classic that put you on the evil side of a fantasy dungeon, reissued on Steam in 2024 as a straight port of the GOG build. The dungeon-management design still holds up completely. Whether the executable does depends entirely on your PC.
6.5 / 10
A co-op fantasy action-RPG that opened Early Access to a rare thing in this library — a completely unanimous English review sample. Every review so far is short, enthusiastic, and upfront that it's judging a promise more than a finished game.
