Dungeon and Gravestone is a deep roguelike RPG set in an ever-shifting voxel world. Enter the dungeon to seek out treasure and uncover the secrets of the world, but be prepared for a challenge—death is always around the corner. When you perish, leave a gravestone with a message for other adventurers to find. Every run provides new layouts, traps, and enemies. Use the gold you find to upgrade your hero permanently and push deeper into the darkness. With its unique social features and addictive 'just one more run' gameplay, it's a fresh take on the classic dungeon crawler.

Our Expert Score

82/100

Dungeon and Gravestone is a unique, voxel-style roguelike that successfully blends the tension of a 'Mystery Dungeon' title with the accessibility of an action-RPG. The 'Gravestone' mechanic is the standout feature; when you die, you can leave a message for other players, and your previous attempts actually influence the world in small ways. It creates a sense of community in a genre that is usually very solitary.

The combat is simple but requires careful positioning, and the 'hunger' mechanic keeps you moving so you can't just camp in one spot. The voxel art is charming and keeps the dark dungeon atmosphere from feeling too oppressive. It’s a challenging game where death is frequent, but the permanent upgrades and the curiosity of what’s on the next floor keep you coming back. It’s a great pick for fans of 'Enter the Gungeon' or 'Shiren the Wanderer' who want something with a unique social twist.

Tips & Walkthrough

Managing the Blood Level

Your character has a 'Blood Level' that constantly drains. If it hits zero, you die. Collecting blood from defeated enemies or finding pools of blood is more important than finding gold. Always plan your route to the next exit based on where the nearest blood source is located.

The Gravestone Legacy

When you die, your gravestone appears in the same spot for other players online. You can read their tips (or warnings!) to avoid traps or find hidden items that they missed. Interacting with other gravestones is the key to surviving the deeper, more trap-heavy levels.

Q&A

Yes, but you won't be able to see other players' gravestones or leave your own messages without an active connection.

Remastered Hidden Gem - Back from the Dead

Fri Feb 04 2022 silkypants21

I have been waiting for the mobile re-release of this game for years! I still have the old unusable app downloaded to my phone. It's a wonderful combination of an old-school mystery dungeon game, Dark Souls, and something like the real-time grid-based strategy of Nova-111. Question, for the developers: Will you implement portrait-mode into this version? That was my favorite way to play back in the day. I hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks for making such a great game.

Fantastic!

This one is SO addictive it’s a little hard at first to figure out everything it could probably use a quick tutorial but once you get the hang of it you won’t stop playing

No idea how to play - lost patience

Since you start with absolutely nothing, I guess you are just supposed to explore the dungeon until you die, hoping to find something useful or something resembling a weapon? There is no way to get back to town except by dying. Game says you can find yourself and get your gold back, but dungeon changes and ways are blocked. Also, moving (on ipad) is extremely difficult. Some kind of guide/tutorial/instructions/anything would have been nice. Took a chance on this, but lost patience after my 5th death and still going nowhere. Pointless.
