Badass Dungeon

Hi everyone!

This is a little passion project of mine—Badass Dungeon (BaD). The name’s a bit of a joke, because right now it’s still a pretty bad game (or better put, unfinished).

It’s a traditional roguelike with what I hope is an intuitive UI. At the moment it’s more of a prototype, since there’s still a lot missing: spellcasting, scrolls, a final boss, and all the content to go with it.

What makes BaD different?

Right now, not a ton—yet. My goal is for the UI and world interaction to feel much more natural and approachable than most classic roguelikes, something closer to Brogue in ease of play.

Long term, though, the plan is to follow the slogan: "build anything". I want heavy use of prefixes, affixes, enchanting, feats, mutations. The idea is to make wild, unexpected character builds not just possible, but encouraged.

What I’m looking for

Feedback! All updates and new builds will be posted here for free, and I’d love to hear what you think as the game grows. Current points in the game feedback would be appreciated on:

• Game feel and Presentation (UX/UI, Presentation, Art)
• Core concepts (Turn order, speed, AC/Strength, Enhancement Levels, Feats)
• Come back and check out updates!

Current Features

• Traditional rougelike gameplay with perma-death, procedural generation.
• 4 weapons (sword, great axe, daggers, quarterstaff) with a flexible weapon-slot system (dual wielding and more).
• 2 armor sets (cloth and leather).
• 2 classes (warrior and wizard), each with unique feats.
• 2 races (human and elf), each with their own racial feats.
• A handful of general feats available to any build.
• Sounds and animations for attacks and interactions.
