Desktop Dungeons: Rewind - Launch Date Trailer
Desktop Dungeons: Rewind maintains this hook, with a new 3D art style and a slightly more forgiving ethos. Now when you die, you can replay the same dungeon over from an earlier point. Does this make it a roguelite rather than a roguelike? I don’t know, but I think it’s a good design choice for these thoughtful combat challenges (and my addled, tired brain).
As noted, if you bought 2013’s Desktop Dungeons for a few pounds at any point during the past ten years, you’re entitled to a free copy of Desktop Dungeons: Rewind. It’ll be added automatically to your Steam account, say the developers.
If you buy the original Desktop Dungeons now, alas, it’s too late - you won’t be entitled to Rewind for free. However, for the next week, youcanget the original Desktop Dungeons for free to keepvia its Steam page.
