Dungeon World

WHAT IS DUNGEON WORLD? A small "playground" where you can spend your time creating villages, killing some monsters, and preparing your character for the final day. Inspired by games like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Minecraft, Dungeon World combines simulation and minimalism in a classic dungeon-crawler where the dungeon is an entire world: with its changing biomes and emergent behaviors, but on a small scale and with simple interactions. GAME CYCLE Start in an unknown world that has its days numbered: get allies, find treasures, and prepare for the final day. Planning your adventure is essential because you will age and lose most of your progress upon death; to grow stronger throughout your lives, you will have to learn about the world and modify it to your needs (heirs, seasons, shortcuts, settlements, etc). Thanks to procedural generation, each world is unique, creating small emergent adventures for each player, such as: - Establish or defend settlements - Find objects or retrieve them from your past lives - Defeat hordes or major monsters - Gain allies to accompany you - Explore layers and unknown regions of the world Nevertheless, the end will come, the world will be swept away, and it will be time to start over... or will you be able to save it? FEATURES Dungeon World revolves around minimalist gameplay, moving away from similar games based on combat or statistics, and instead focusing on simple interactions, inventory management, and planning given the lifespan of your character (and the world). Some highlights include: - A simulated world with interactions between NPCs - Turn-based and grid-based (movement, item usage, temporal cycles) - +40 monsters and items - +20 settlements and NPCs - Create and save as many worlds (games) as you want - Collection of creatures and stories - Cheats to use in the late game STORY "When the being that shaped the world abandoned these lands, they began to wither... but thanks to a wise person who foresaw the disaster, there is now a chance for the god to return and renew its creation." The player controls an avatar that carries the essence of the creator and will have a limited time to learn about these lands and their myths, grow stronger throughout their lives, and ultimately confront the creator themselves if they wish to save this world. The game does not focus on the story, but it does have "time" as its main theme in the form of messages and systems that the player must internalize to progress successfully in each game.
