About Dungeon Settlers

Build rooms with walls and doors, provide bedrooms and dining areas, establish a forge and grow crops. Resources must cover survival as well as expedition rations and camping supplies; research unlocks buildings and equipment.

Recruit and level members with varied abilities and talents, combat and everyday stats, and traits shaped by race, background and personality. Equipment and compatible skill trees shape parties of up to four.

Expeditions randomize floors and rooms, while regions add random environmental effects. Deeper areas offer rarer resources and greater danger, with merchants, gemstone veins and mysterious mandrake alongside hostile creatures. Ancient trees demand blood in exchange for forbidden fruit.
