The most popular dungeon crawl games
Dungeon crawlers are a subgenre of RPGs in which the player explores one or more dungeons, battles successive monsters, collects loot, and progresses to higher levels. Typically, dungeon crawlers feature simple storylines and linear progression, though some offer branching paths or open-ended exploration. Many roguelikes share characteristics with dungeon crawlers, incorporating procedural generation, permadeath, and randomized loot to enhance replayability.
Notable dungeon crawlers include Diablo, Legend of Grimrock, Dungeon Master, and Eye of the Beholder.
