Desktop Dungeons is a quick-play roguelike puzzle game that gives you roughly 10 minutes of dungeon-crawling action per serving. It straddles the casual and hardcore boundary in that, while you might die frequently because the game is tricky and unforgiving, it’s so approachable and quick to get into that you keep wanting just one more round.

  • The perfect coffee-break game
  • Fight your way through fantasy dungeons in 10 minutes or less. We’re busy people too.
  • Prize-winning awesomeness (13th Annual IGF Awards)
  • Classic roguelike play re-imagined as a unique single-screen puzzle game sort of thing! Reviewers have a hard time with genres.
  • 6 hours of gameplay? Try 6 billion.
  • Randomly generated dungeons are different every time you play. Build your Kingdom to unlock hordes of new classes, races and challenges.
  • Amazing soundtrack by the improbably astounding team of Danny Baranowsky and Grant Kirkhope.

I must say this is one game where the trailer they showed put me completely off buying this game.

Looks good, I think the price is a little hardcore though

I actually have to agree here. I think the price of $15 is a bit too steep for what this game offers. I don't want to put the developers down, but I think this game would have been better suited to the $5 category. Especially when you consider that most other roguelikes on Steam not only cost less, but also offer more for your money.

I know it sounds like I'm belly-aching, but it's actually a great little timewaster. I just can't help but feel a twinge of buyer's remorse.
 
This is unfortunately not a game I would play but great effort from the developers. it's really great seeing SA developers making their mark.
 
I downloaded the original a while back and it was hella fun. That being said, given that the price is a limiting factor, i'm going to have to consider for a while longer before i make my final decision.
