![]() While you can’t direct your guild member in any way, they can be influenced to go after the glint from a treasure from a card you’ve placed, to help complete the quest they are on. ![]() ![]() And from there it’ll automatically select your first cards to show you each type of card and how they work. Selecting a card can be any one of three things: adding a room or corridor, dropping an additional monster in, or a treasure that can be combined with a monster. You’ll start by looking at the map, and selecting a dungeon. In the first tutorial dungeon you have access to, the game teaches you how things work. It should be noted that Guild of Dungeoneering has one of the best soundtracks in recent memory, which is a jaunty set of tunes that you’ll have a hard time getting out of your head, which then you’ll have to purchase the soundtrack for. In fact, the only bits of color are red and blue, the rest of the game is monochromatic. This game is just full of charm, from the bard-style narration and clever wording, to the hand-drawn art that makes it look like it came from a high school kid’s notebook, done with pencil and some colored pencil to distinguish the enemies from the player. Things like leveling up the guild and purchasing better heroes will increase your odds in the dungeon, but it never feels like you ever have an advantage. This is evidenced by the lack of persistent character progression or any kind of importance on characters at all. Because it’s not about the hero, it’s about the guild. This is a game where you build the world around the dungeoneer, as you do not have direct control of their actions, you can only influence them ever so slightly. The invisible dice rolls that take place leave too much up to chance, but the result is a game that lets you feel like you’re assembling a dungeon as if you were wording it yourself, and doesn’t need any pesky social interactions to enjoy.Īfter a short bit of exposition, Guild of Dungeoneering has you off on your own building a new guild after leaving the old one, to prove you can do this better. As you play solo, a dungeon run can go incredibly quick or slow, and be in your favor, or against it. So what are you to do if you aren’t able to rustle up your friends, but still want to play D&D? Guild of Dungeoneering is the answer to that. Playing Dungeons & Dragons takes a lot of setup, time, and patience, especially for a Dungeon Master.
