|---|---|---|---|---|---|
North | Normal | Dumps like this one are some of the few remnants of the once great northern empire. Today, they are avoided, as the defective creations seem to have outlived their creators. | Steel Golem, Arcane Golem, Undying Sculptor, 3x random monster | ||
North | Hard | This secret workshop has been hiding under the sands untouched since the fall of the Northern Empire. What purpose it serves is a mystery, but it certainly gives off an important vibe, given how hard it was to find. | Lavavein, Goodusa | Steel Golem, Flint Golem, Arcane Golem, Stone Jelly, Goo Blob, 1x random monster | |
North | Vicious | You've traced the influx of ancient golems to a flooded building, but strangely enough there isn't a water source for miles. All you can do is wonder: was the flooding to keep you out, or keep something in? | Prototype 1*, Prototype 3*, ??? | Golem, Goo Blob, Steel Golem, Stone Jelly, Arcane Golem, Flint Golem, Undying Sculptor, Sapphire Golem | |
Oasis Town
| North | Hard | This small, peaceful desert town has sent out numerous requests for an adventurer to deal with a 'minor goat-related issue.' As the nearest kingdom, you feel duty-bound to help them and receive a hefty cash reward. | Chieftain Dal'Zak | Possessed Goat, Goat, 4x random monster |
Lekon's Table | North | Vicious | The recently growing Cult of Lekon are gathering at this ancient temple for some large ritual sacrifice. Preeminent divine scholars are in disagreement over what it will do, but they seem to generally agree this is a bad thing. | The Sacrifice*, ??? | Warlock, Goat, Djinn, Cultist, Thrall, Profaned Flesh, Lekon's Chosen |
East | Normal | Contrary to popular belief, this rarely traversed alpine path is named after its discoverer: Victor Deadman. Unfortunately, the roaming undead packs and fallen adventurers do little to clear up this misconception. | Zombie, Frozen Corpse, Vampire, 2x random monster, Fallen Adventurers (fighter, thief, priest, wizard) | ||
East | Hard | This perpetually sub-zero peak hosts a wide selection of frozen adventurers. Occasionally, unscrupulous fellows will start up a sculpture boutique, but would be auctioneers tend to accidentally join their merchandise. | Goblin, Frozen Troll, Frozen Corpse, Sapphire Golem, Freezing Wraith, 1x random monster | ||
Troll Laboratory | East | Vicious | This giant cave network houses a growing society of trolls.This is strange and scary, as trolls are usually incapable of rational thought and organization. | Dr. Victroll Trollenstein | Frozen Troll, Forest Troll, Rock Troll, Desert Troll, Reanimated Troll, Troll Scientist |
Frigid Battlefield | East | Hard | Most of the Far East is a frigid, grassy plain, haunted by spectral Naga. This land, however, seems more tainted than the rest. Whatever curse afflicts it has made the growth rampant, and the Naga guard its secret fiercely. | Memory of the South, Memory of the East | Naga Frostblade, Naga Swampsoul, Freezing Wraith, Soul Sucker, Sun Priestess, Forgotten Kinsman |
Phantom Citadel | East | Vicious | This massive Naga fortress stands in stark contrast to its surroundings. While snow stretches on forever in all directions, the citadel and its lands appear completely untouched by the weather. | Elisssa Ahau | Naga Swampsoul, Naga Frostblade, Naga Fireweaver, Naga Shadowsire, Sun Priestess |
Endless Blizzard | East | Vicious | The lands beyond the Eastern Naga are shielded by an impenetrable snowstorm. It's unclear why anyone would want to enter such a place, as the source of the cold must lie within. | ??? | Numerous! |
South | Normal | Goblins get a deservedly bad reputation for being the only kingdom race commonly found in dungeons. This justified discrimination leads to heroes constantly plundering goblin settlements, but being pillaged year in and year out makes for awfully well-guarded treasure. | Goblin Trapper, Goblin Miner, Goblin, 3x random monster | ||
South | Hard | Sunken beneath Hexx Ruins, this eerily quiet sanctuary shows no signs of recent disturbance. Ancient riches lie within, yet the stale, silent air bears on intruders with a strange malice. | Rusted Guardian, Pythoness, Ratling, Goblin Trapper, Wraith, 1x random monster | ||
South | Hard | While the Naga usually prefer carving through bogs to claim new lands, these unusual fens have evaded colonization. The lack of Naga has allowed all sorts of irregular beasts to flourish, but the viscous shadows which haunt the area, consuming all they touch, present a danger no army could overcome.. | Swamp Worm, Rusted Guardian, Beholder, Forgotten Soul, Goblin Trapper, Pestilent Bloat | ||
South | Vicious | This unnavigable hellhole houses swarms of rats, but the original structures seems built for something much larger. Whatever once inhabited here, its residual corruption has seeped into the soil and granted the new inhabitants unusual strength. | ??? | Pythoness, Ratling Priest, Ratling Warrior, Swamp Worm, Beholder, ??? | |
South | Vicious | Although this underground path was safe when Kingdom's founders first crossed it, the once empty trail has filled with monsters. Many have attempted a repeat crossing, but all have returned unsuccessfully in an anomalous sort of despair. | ??? | Rusted Guardian, Goblin Trapper, Pestilent Bloat, Swamp Worm, Beholder, Siabrae |

Desktop Dungeons is a single-playerrole-playing video game developed and published by QCF Design. Released in November 2013, the game underwent a lengthy public beta phase, during which it was available to customers who pre-ordered the game. In the game, players navigate a dungeon filled with monsters before battling a final dungeon boss. The game has qualities of a puzzle as players must find the best methods to use items, spells, and upgrades to reach the final boss without losing too much of their character's health.[1]Desktop Dungeons has been compared to a roguelike but with condensed gameplay. Desktop Dungeons received an award for Excellence in Design at the 2011 Independent Games Festival. The game is available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, iOS and Android.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
The game plays as a condensed roguelike with sessions taking only about 10 minutes to play.[3] Players choose a race and class for a character before sending them into a randomly generated dungeon. After completing dungeons, players are rewarded with the ability to unlock new character classes, starting weapons, and bonus dungeons.[1][4] Players can worship different deities at altars, who then bestow upon the worshipers a set of rules which benefit the player if they are followed or harm them if they are not.[5]
Video game modders can create tilesets for the game which changes the appearance of the dungeon. Derek Yu, the creator of the video game Spelunky, created one such tileset which the developers of Desktop Dungeons decided to use as the default appearance for the game.[5]
Desktop Dungeons Extreme Edition
Development[edit]
Desktop Dungeons is developed by a three-man team in South Africa. Rodain Joubert says that he began development of the game in January 2010 after having played many roguelike games and then reading a manifesto written by Edmund McMillen, the creator of Super Meat Boy and initial character artist and animator on Braid.[3][6] The alpha version of the game was written using Game Maker, and one of the major changes to the game during the alpha development was the ability to worship gods at altars which affected the course of a dungeon run.[7]
The beta featured a significant graphical upgrade from the free alpha version[8] and included a new tutorial system, changes to character progression, player inventory, and an adventuring locker to store items between dungeon runs.[7]
Preliminary release and reception[edit]
The preliminary reception among critics based on the released beta version has been generally positive.[1][8] The game was available for pre-order during this period, allowing users to access a beta version. A Special Edition of the game was also available for pre-order which includes extra quests and character classes. An Exclusive Edition pre-order of the game was also sold for which customers would have their names mentioned in the game as well as in the credits.[9] With the changes made for the beta version, Rock, Paper, Shotgun's writer Alec Meer praised, 'Desktop Dungeons is now easily the game it always deserved to be.'[5] The game received an award for Excellence in Design at the 2011 Independent Games Festival.[9] The game was listed at #3 in Gamasutra's Top 10 Indie Games of 2010.[4]

Cloning controversy[edit]
Eric Farraro, developing under the pseudonym Lazy Peon, created an iPhone game titled League Of Epic Heroes after playing the beta version of Desktop Dungeons. Farraro announced League of Epic Heroes in an internet post in October 2010 and stated, 'To give credit where credit is due, League is based on the core gameplay of Desktop Dungeons.' League of Epic Heroes uses the same mechanics, character classes, spells, and progression system as Desktop Dungeons, but none of the graphics, sound effects, source code, or other game resources. Farraro contacted QCF Design on November 12, 2010, with information about the game he was creating and claiming that the game was not a clone. Despite QCF Design's request that Farraro not release the game, League of Epic Heroes was released in the AppleApp Store on November 23, 2010.[3] Following a copyright infringement notice from QCF's lawyers, Farraro removed League of Epic Heroes from the App Store.[10][11]
