ABSTRACT

Dungeon Sprint is an entire game of Dungeon Crawl condensed into a single level. The level is mostly set; randomness comes into it only slightly, putting the focus on set situations, throwing together random challenges. Dungeon Sprint is played on custom maps supplied with the game. One thing that Dungeon Sprint’s ramped-up challenge does do is increase, even more, the importance of picking a good character. Dungeon Sprint is one of the most interesting roguelike games. It takes Dungeon Crawl’s quick-start philosophy and then removes the somewhat-tedious early-level exploration. It’s not a game for beginners but works well for players who are already familiar with much of the game’s strategy and lore. Shops provide options and advantages outside of the “usual” game of Dungeon Sprint.
