Developed by Realmforge Studios · Published by Kalypso Media









You play as the Dungeon Lord, directing the forces of evil with Thalya as your chief lieutenant. Build an underground stronghold and prepare to face the heroes who come to challenge it.
Dig tunnels, construct rooms and traps, manage creatures and resources, and grow an army. Then take your forces onto the overworld to fight heroes, pursue objectives, and claim resources that support your dungeon.
The campaign spans 20 missions and introduces new mechanics as you progress. The supplied description also lists randomly generated levels and a two-player co-op mode.
Reviewers often enjoy the combination of underground dungeon management and surface battles, which gives them both a base to develop and territory to attack. The narrator’s jokes and exchanges with Thalya are another recurring draw, though some find the humor repetitive or overdone. Players also praise the campaign and approachable strategy, while some say combat and management systems lack depth.
