Free roguelike game for Windows
Die in the Dungeon was created by Alarts for the 2021 Brackeys Game Jam under the theme of ‘Stronger Together’. It’s a free deck-building, turn-based rogue-lite game in which you’re a frog navigating the twenty floors of a dungeon. Die in the Dungeon is a little different, however, because instead of strategising using cards, you use dice.
As you progress, dice are added, so creating the ideal strategy becomes increasingly complicated. Get the right combination and you’ll breeze past your enemies. Try to find the best combination or you’re dead. If you like dungeon-crawling games, you’ll also enjoy Labyrinth of Legendary Loot and Classic Rogue.
Alarts is a young artist who started out creating graphics for Game Jam. To date, they’ve developed a total of six games for Game Ja.

Crawling the dungeons
Die in the Dungeon was created in a week as part of the Game Jam, but now, without competition pressures, the developer is regularly updating improvements and new features to the game. It definitely appears to be going in the right direction, as it’s becoming a more complete game. Playability is improving all the time, which is partially based on feedback from members of the developer’s Discord channel.
It’s a game we enjoy within the genre, so we recommend it for dungeon crawlers everywhere.
