Independent game developer Enraged Gamers is thrilled to announce Dungeons Deep, an innovative dark fantasy action RPG that does things a little differently. Taking a departure from popular Soulslike mechanics like lock-on camera and combat, Dungeons Deep favors a visceral over-the-shoulder view and weapons with precise hitboxes offering methodically-paced combat and abilities, randomized dungeon designs, hordes of different enemy types, bosses, and more. All said, Dungeons Deep imagines what dungeon crawlers like Diablo would play like in three dimensions. A demo is currently available experience this innovative spin on the genre first-hand. Dungeons Deep is also currently on Kickstarter, looking to raise $15,000 to complete development with key features, with several stretch goals planned such as console releases, an expanded campaign, co-operative mode, and additional player classes and customization.
“Some of our levels feature a river sequences where you’re battling enemies on a moving raft. An idea inspired by classic games like Die by the Sword. It’s one of those moments where the environment itself becomes part of the challenge.”
The game is available at the $25 USD pledge level, with additional reward options including alpha access, campaign-exclusive armor skins, and helping design the games weapons, armor, dragons, and dungeons. Dungeons Deep’s Kickstarter campaign will run through October 10, 2025:
“Dungeons Deep draws its most inspiration from Diablo II, in its grim setting, ARPG mechanics, and spatial inventory system,” notes Enraged Gamers. “We were also inspired by the dismemberment and combat in Severance: Blade of Darkness. Dungeons Deep stands out by combining an immersive over-the-shoulder perspective with skill-driven combat where every swing, dodge, and spell truly matters. Interestingly, during early development, the enemy AI glitched where instead of attacking normally, it started circling the player in this eerie, unpredictable way. It was actually creepier than what we had planned, so we recreated the behavior so that certain enemies will stalk and flank the player… we hope players notice these details!”
