Set in the Dark Ages, Devious Dungeon is a medieval focused action platformer with RPG styled upgrades.
In this action platformer, players take control of a knight tasked with clearing the catacombs beneath the kingdom of dangerous monsters and beasts. The knight can jump, dash, and attack enemies with a simple melee strike.
The levels feature a variety of platforms, pits, and hazards that require precise timing and positioning to navigate. Players must carefully maneuver the knight through these obstacles to progress.
As players slay enemies, they collect gold and experience points. Gold can purchase new weapons, armor, and accessories that boost the knight's stats. Experience points unlock upgrades to the knight's strength, stamina, and dexterity. These progression systems encourage exploration and combat.
Each series of three levels is randomly assembled, ensuring a fresh experience on each playthrough. While level layouts and enemy placements follow familiar patterns, the randomization prevents players from simply memorizing optimal routes. This encourages experimentation as players discover new shortcuts and secrets.
At the end of each world, players must confront a unique boss enemy. These encounters require learning and mastering the boss's attack patterns to emerge victorious. The difficulty can be increased by choosing the 'hard' mode option.
Reviewers have praised the game's simple yet satisfying gameplay loop, which allows for short, enjoyable play sessions. The progression mechanics and random level design contribute to an overall 'chill' and 'relaxing' experience, providing a fun alternative to more demanding platformers or roguelikes.
