Roguelike puzzlerDesktop Dungeonswas first released a decade ago, and the remasteredDesktop Dungeons: Rewindlaunches next week on April 18th. Developer QCF Design evidently have a lot to celebrate and they’re doing so in style. Owners of the original game will be able to grab the remaster for free when it comes out. At no extra cost.
QCF announced the news on theirSteam blog, writing, “Could we have done it without you? No. You cheered us, you challenged us, and you supported us. Without you, the sands of time would have buried our beloved game.” Essentially it’s: remember that game you bought ten years ago? Here, have another one.
Depending on the way you look at it, QCF are basically discounting their upcoming game a week before its release while also pairing it with the original. Take notes,Ark.
For context, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is a substantial 3D revamp of the beloved dungeon crawler that includes all of the original’s DLC. You’ll still be slicing monsters while strategically moving around them for more health, and then your taxidermy skills will reap buckets of gold which you can then spend to build up a kingdom. A fancier kingdom means more playable adventurers to recruit before you subsequently send them to their certain doom. And repeat.
