Outsmart Your Opponents on the Way to Legendary Loot in Fantasy Extraction RPG Dungeonborne

After multiple successful playtests and becoming the Most Played Game at February’s Steam Next Fest, extraction RPG Dungeonborne is out now for Early Access on PC, available to all players looking for a punishing but rewarding RPG.

Dungeonborne is a first-person dungeon crawler in which players band together with up to two friends or play solo to seek treasure and glory among the ruins of a gritty, gothic setting that is overrun by monsters and other adventurers. Blending extraction gameplay with iconic fantasy class design, Dungeonborne offers strategic gameplay full of powerful loot and high stakes combat as you rush to extract before a blade finds your back.

Eight Playable Classes, Eight Distinct Ways to Play

Dungeonborne draws on traditional RPG classes, giving you a chance to embrace your role as a Fighter, Priest, Rogue, Druid, or Pyromancer while also offering more unique choices like Swordmaster, Cryomancer, or Death Knight.

Thanks to the first-person point of view, combat feels visceral and every spell or weapon swing has weight behind it. Each of Dungeonborne’s classes brings something unique to the table, too — while Death Knights are masters of manipulation, capable of pulling enemies toward them and draining their life force, Druids can attack from any range and shapeshift into animal form to rip and tear.

Caster classes dispense destruction from afar. You can wield fire as the Pyromancer and scorch and burn all who oppose you, or encase your foes in ice and slow their advance as the Cryomancer. For players looking to take on more of a support role, the Priest will fit like a glove ⁠– heal your teammates and support them from afar, bolstering their defence and keeping them alive.

Protect your allies from the frontline as a Fighter, capable of holding the line against your foes while your allied Rogue sneaks behind enemy lines to unleash devastating critical strikes. Defend as a Swordmaster and keep your enemies’ attention on you as you conjure powerful psionic blades capable of sowing quick death among the unsuspecting.

With over 10 unique weapon pairings, every duel in Dungeonborne becomes a dance of death that brings a fluid, back-and-forth action combat experience. Parries, blocks, and ripostes dictate the flow of battle, and it’s split-second, in-the-moment decision making that determines the winner.

Strategize, Prepare, and Execute — You’ll Have to Fight Tooth and Nail to Claim What Is Yours

While simply jumping in and swinging your weapon around might work at first, you will quickly realise that spamming light attacks and pressing the loot button won’t be enough. Dungeonborne rewards and encourages tactical planning and strategy — terrain, trap locations, enemy positions, and time are all factors that you need to take into account if you wish to triumph over the opposing team that’s looking to claim your treasure as their own. Utilise terrain verticality to set up an ambush or lure enemies into the traps you find for easy kills.

As you slay your opponents and plunder their riches, you will find equipment with over 80 item affixes that synergize with your playstyle or completely change the way you play. If you don’t need an item or simply have a better one, you can put it up for sale at the in-game auction house, then hunt for dozens of legendary and unique items designed to help you sculpt the ultimate build. In Dungeonborne, the thrill of finding rare loot is accessible to all, not just the most dedicated players.
