What Makes Redungeon Stand Out
The wall in front of me starts to shake and hurtles towards me….I’m dead!
Spike holes are underfoot it’s already too late …I’m dead!
I take my last breath as the slime creature engulfs me….I’m dead!
Like always I’m brought back to try again….is someone helping me or do they just really want me to hurt?

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive always been a big fan of Nitrome games ever since we were younger. The art, the gameplay loop they are always so engaging and fun! Seldom do we have time to play a game on our phone nowadays, but whenever we do, we always come back to Redungeon.
This game is so underated. We wish more people would enjoy a quality game like this. The dungeon crawling, the achievments, we just can't get enough. (also we can't figure out how to rate it from the "Write a Review" page, so it's just here we guess.
Im playing this game like 6-7. Of course its not that interesting like few years ago BUT if you ad something new in this game, we swear Im going to play few years more. So please add something new, a character or traps idk. Pls.
Even though we have 100% completed the game, we still mess around with and play with the various characters. You should probably update this game for newer devices, but this game is fun otherwise. You should add a feature to where you can delete your game progress and start over, because we want to.
Sir GylbarD: its been 36 days.. Ive died but Im back to re live this hell Ive been hoarding all our gold (he has 1000 gold probably enough to level up to level 3) because maybe if we get enough we ca- WAIT A MINUTE. We HAD A SWORD THIS WHOLE TIME!!! LETTTSSS GOOOO WOOOSODIPOOOW DDIHBFVYBIVFDBIHFVE NOTHIN STABND IN MAI WAYS NOWS AHAHAHHSHDVDUENXGDUDJS X.
Awesome game we love it so much but the only problem we have with it is that there isnt enough. There needs to be more upgrades for the characters, customization, daily quests, maybe even a story mode with levels. We love everything about it so far though we think the game could absolutely flourish with the right amount of care.
Great game; played an ungodly amount of hours in it since it first came out; would love a major update at some point.
Ive probably died over a 100 times. We dunno we dont care its fun. Also we feel like a rust bucket crossover would be fun. Anyways Im going to go back to dying in an endless dungeon.
We love this game! The characters are unique, the gameplay is fun, the ads are fair and unobtrusive, the payments are reasonable, and its easy to tell how you play. Its simple, has an amazing art style, perfect animations, and so much more.
We've been playing nitrome since middle school and we're 26 now and we always find ourselves going back to their games, we hope they continue to turn their computer games into phone games. We'd love to see skywire and bad ice cream available some day! All their games are awesome and beautifully made.
Redungeon is fun time-killer game that you can play offline or online when youre bored or have nothing to do. However, its been three years since it saw its last update and we have several ideas that could revive it New character: Sam from Tower Fortress Passive 1: Ammo crates (Crates are scattered across the map containing any ammo from the game, ammo runs out when it reaches zero) Passive 2: Suits (Suits are scattered across the map that provide different buffs {Fire and electricity immunity, spike trap immunity, long jump etc}, their ability ends after a certain time) Upgrades can go towards ammo capacity and duration of suits Ribb new active ability: Sword arm An arm holding onto a sword will spawn randomly on the map, Ribb can use it to destroy most traps and monsters. But it will break after a few swings and Ribb will have to find another (Ability could be upgraded to last longer) Medusa new active ability: Snakes Snakes will be released by medusa one by one to destroy a nearby trap. Medusa can hold up to 5 or 10 (Could be upgradable to increase capacity), and once a snake is released it takes 3 to 5 seconds to recharge for that snake (Could be upgradable to reduce time) Ex: Medusa has 5 snakes and releases one, she will have 4, she has to wait 5 seconds to have 5 again, ability can still be used until all snakes are released meaning shell have to wait 25 seconds to have 5 again Even if those ideas arent implemented into the game, we hope that this game isnt removed from the app store.
Game is amazing also super hard ,but that makes it super fun.
We love this game, we just wish we could get more content since it is just so fun.
This game is good. Tho ads every 2 deaths, as long as you just DONT die then ur ok. These people who complain about ads every 5 seconds, Go post how fast you guys died on speedrun.com. Amazing game, Keep up the good work.
Its just an incredible game the art style is amazing barely any ads and lots of characters to luv up the game play.
This is exactly the game that is advertised! Every time the dungeon changes and you have to figure out that each trap/tile means. The adds are so much better than other mobile games only playing about once every two runs, and theyre normally short! Overall this is a good game if you have a few dead minutes in your day. Enjoy.
So, dear Nitrome, you are one of our favorite group since flash games a thousand years ago! So, we are using ipad 8th generation and after 2 runs un game ad usually appears and if we press home button and then open the game immediately, ad turns off. And like this it is available to skip ads immediately. Yours sincerely.
We really think this a good game not to crazy on the adds and great pixelated graphics but one thing THIS GAME COULD EASLY PULL OFF A LEVEL EDITOR we feel like this game could have a level editor were you could make a level and publish it with something like the steam workshop.
So beserk knight can fight back the mobs that are trying to kill him you see a little logo with a sword on it press it and we kills the mob the character cost is 2,000 coins the upgrad path max is 5 upgrades and the cost is 1,000 and it goes up every upgrade max is 5,000.
Fun and challenging and fast-paced, slow but satisfying character progression PS. Invest in Creep-A-Crow, very good abilities.
We love the game so much, being able to just pickup and play is amazing. We think itd be pretty cool if at 200M or 300M you could change your character mid game and then keep playing.
We think you should add some mini bosses to this game. Like a giant floating robot head that if you beat you automatically get 1000 coins just an idea.
We absolutely love this game. This game presents unique challenges that are all time based due to the encroaching darkness and presents unique ideas of progression. Dont like the darkness? Use Vesna, who can knock the darkness back! Still not satisfied? Use panic bot, who doesnt have darkness to deal with but instead has a power level that is recharged by electric based traps/wisps. Keep dying? Use Ribb who has multiple lives, but uh oh! You keep falling off the edge and dying to the speedy bats! Use Kazhan the vampire who is friends with bats and can fly around as a bat for a short time, or even fall off the map several times and still recover. What Im saying is, this game has many unique ways to play, and Im only scratching the surface of it! Our only problem is, the game is still being supported, and new monsters and traps and puzzles are being added, but no new characters to play as and no new abilities to get. As someone who has gotten all the characters and all the achievements we find ourselves realizing, there is nothing for us to come back to. Theres no reason we should keep this game, and no reason we should keep playing it. Id like to mention, we had 100% completed the game about a year ago. Its disappointing, but we will keep this game, just in case any new characters or abilities are added. We hope you can keep others playing this game by adding more content Nitrome. But for now, arrivederci.
Nitrome is such a good game company.
This is a great game, and we love how the different characters actually make you use different strategies. One feature we'd like to see is a random/shuffle button for the character selection.
Grinding to get all the characters is so satisfying, we would really recomend getting the no ad deal.
We just really enjoy this game. Even when Im spending hours grinding enough money for upgrades, it doesnt feel tedious or dull, but different on every run.
One of the best free to play games out there, highly recommend this.
Maybe when you upgrade a character like sir Gilbert you like make his armor look different and all the other characters because that makes you want to upgrade even more to see what the characters going to look like next.
Cool game but needs a new update with a new character or something cool.
We love your game, just rediscovered it on a new phone, but we were just playing through, and was thinking: what if players could design and submit sections of dungeon, sharing them for other people to try. Then the devs could add a suggestions that get a lot of votes. To be clear, trying suggested areas would not give real coins.
We are a fan of games with pixel style so when we figured out about nitrome we were pretty excited. Ive played nearly all of the games. When we originally got this one we thought it was fun but not anything amazing. We played it for a little while and eventually unlocked a few other characters. This is when we realized how cool this game was. All of the different characters had quite unique abilities. When you get bored instead of just closing the app and doing a different game you can pick another person who will completely change your experience. We like how all of the characters when maxed out are almost about equal in strength. We have spent hours grinding on this game just to upgrade a few characters. We hope that they add some other people to play as soon though because everyone who plays this game will eventually run out of things to upgrade. At first its really satisfying, but it gets old pretty quickly. Overall this is easily a five star game and a really great experience.
Grate game (but add the ability to tryout characters).
We unlocked all the characters and leveled them up we think we need more characters and a bit more.
Please please pleas e update it, its such a fun game ive put so many hours into it we jus crave more characters or even cooler more enemies jus please.
This game is legitimately a good game despite the repetitive gameplay and has tons of potential for further expansion. We would love to see some new characters or game modes, namely a level editor because that would be incredible on this already established grid system. Definitely recommend if other time waste games like solitaire or scrabble dont scratch the itch.
This game is great and we love it but maybe you could add like power ups that you can find in game that maybe like recharge your power or something.
Amazing game but we want a fifth star for ribs and more characters still awesome game though.
We really enjoy this game we thought it was gonna be one of those games that we played for a few days and get bored of of but we love that you have to grind Im for the characters. So far Ive just got Rik. The one thing that wish you could do choose where the arrow keys go. Because we find ourselves accidentally hitting the up arrow instead of the right arrow and that ends most our runs. Maybe that could be done. But all together its a great game that Im having fun with right now.
We cant see anything wrong with this game. Its fun and addictive.
This game just might be right up our alley. A great retro game, with good atmosphere and good characters. Appeals to all ages and definitely recommend.
Okay let us explain this. This game is flat out amazing for mobile. We usually like more complex games, but if youre on the go or just wanted to lay down to play something simple, its for you. The game really does a good job at keeping the player hooked, because you usually find new dungeons. We wish they would update the game more, but overall the game is so good for mobile.
This games really fun and addicting, but it doesnt get updates anymore. It has a lot of potential and the fact is ad free is amazing- Id love to see this game go further.
We just got this game a couple of days ago and Im all ready hooked! There is only one complaint about the game, and that is the prices to unlock and upgrade characters. For example the character you start out with his 4th upgrade cost 2000 coins but we guess since there are only five upgrades for each character so it might just be us. But overall its a really good game and probably our favorite game on our phone. We like the multiple different characters and the upgrades actually have use. And the game is very hard, we mean it says death is inevitable in the images of the game but we like the challenge. And the dungeon you explore is always different so it adds verity to the game. In our book its a 100 out of 10.
This game is the creme of the crop this game makes stacks on stacks on racks on racks and is the best thing that happened to za warudo so get the you want to know why because we said so and that means a lot because our words are priceless so get it or else If you find this there was a Jojo reference in this review and if you know what Im talkin about you are amazing and have big brain.
Ive had this game on our phone for a few years now and have never even thought about taking it off. Sometimes we will go through phases where we dont play it at all for months but then Ill go back to it and enjoy it just as much as the first time. Its tricky, challenging, fun and the humor is also on ball. Well done guys! We love this game.
Title. Very very well polished game and unrelenting. Give it a shot.
We have a suggestion; on each character screen (after, of course, you have bought them) there should be a button which brings you to a dungeon that utilizes that specific characters skills and abilitys. This way it makes the game a little more interesting and it shows you how to use the skills or would just make good practice.
Redungeon is a game with randomized traps that come in different patterns each time you play, and, since they are the same traps, you learn from your mistakes and move forward. This game would grow boring…if not for the characters. They have upgrades and abilities that make you realize the endless possibilities to solve one trap. Nitrome is our favorite developer, and this has got to be their best masterpiece yet. Keep up the good work.
PLEASE add a way to reset all progress. We would LOVE to start over from the beginning.
