About the Game
Dungeon Settlers is a dark fantasy strategy game that combines colony simulation and dungeon crawling. As the leader of an expedition sent by the Guild, your mission is to explore, conquer, and destroy the dungeon which is the source of all calamities. To do so, you’ll need to build a settlement in the barren land and prepare your people for the dangers ahead.
This is a ‘Hardcore Strategy’ game. Train your members strategically by considering their equipment, skills, and traits, then form a party of up to four. In real-time with pause tactical combat with no turn or round limits, analyze enemy traits and patterns to outmaneuver them and achieve victory. But remember once dead, there is no coming back...

Build a settlement in the desolate land, isolated by magical erosion. Design rooms freely by placing walls and doors to meet your members’ needs—create bedrooms and dining areas, and set up a forge with anvils and smelters. Cultivate fields to grow crops. Manage your resources efficiently to survive, and produce rations and camping supplies for the next expedition. Unlock new buildings and equipment through research.

Each member has six major abilities and talents, along with dozens of combat and life-related stats. They also possess various traits based on race, background, and personality—such as a curious Lizardman with a drifter’s past. Recruit promising candidates and help them grow through leveling. Equip them with powerful equipments and carefully build a four-member expedition party with synergistic skill trees such as sword/mace/bow/fire magic.

Combat takes place in real time, but you can pause at any moment to think strategically. Plan your tactics using a variety of effects and mechanics—stun, bleed, burn, provoke, vulnerable, charge attacks, summons, and more. Position your party wisely, exploit enemy weaknesses, and utilize your skills at the right time. Even hopeless battles can be overcome with the right strategy.

Each dungeon expedition is randomly composed, with floors and rooms changing each time. Regions apply different random environmental effects. The deeper you go, the rarer and more valuable the resources become—but so do the threats. You’ll encounter the remnants of magical experiments, such as towering golems or acid-spitting monsters. Secure wood logs, herbs, gemstone veins, and mysterious mandrake. Trade with dungeon merchants, and face ancient tree that demand blood to bear forbidden fruit.
