About the game
Combining its own unique take on the real-time roguelike genre, with a nostalgic 16-bit look and feel, Diehard Dungeon is a game that feels both familiar and quite different at the same time. Followed by a trusty, treasure collecting companion chest, you must make your way through the dungeons many randomly-generated rooms and levels.

It is cheaper than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 75 percent. On the same math Overture ($4.99, scores 40) and Dark Devotion ($19.99, scores 35) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
Launch issue fixed January 2025. However, the issue had been known since Spring 2023 and the game remained on the market in an unplayable state for over a year. That's unacceptable, so my review remains the same. Steam should have honoured my request for a refund when the game was clearly unplayable. So, let that be a lesson. If you play past 2 hours in any game, you're stuck with it, even if it becomes unplayable...
