Home screen dungeons?: Desktop Dungeons coming to tablets

Wait, there's an option to desecrate altars?

Wait, there’s an option to desecrate altars?

Desktop Dungeons was released for PC/Mac back in 2013 to major kudos, leaving those of us who prefer gaming on our iPads to wonder when we might get a taste. The answer is now, apparently, because Desktop Dungeons is heading to iPad and Android tablets this month.

Desktop Dungeons is a perfect fit for mobile in that it’s a roguelike that you play in short bursts, usually only a couple minutes at a time. Each session has you running into a randomly generated dungeon, killing and grabbing loot and getting out of there. Returning back to town unlocks new classes, powers, etc. If you can’t tell, I haven’t played it, so I’m going off of what I can find online. I might pick it up on PC, though, because the saved games should sync, allowing me to pick up and continue where I left off on my iPad once it comes to tablets.

The mobile version of DD will have some minor changes to the UI to accommodate the touchscreen, but otherwise will have 100% of the content of the PC version. The tablet version is the Enhanced Edition, which offers new classes as well as online Daily Dungeons which will have results posted in daily leaderboards.

Look for Desktop Dungeons to hit sometime this month. Trailer after the break.
