Tags: Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon

If you're one of those who enjoyed Legend of Grimrock or classic real-time grid-based RPGs, you may be interested to know that Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon is out on Steam Early Access today, with full release scheduled for Q1 2016. The game claims to feature smart enemy AI, plus physics-based puzzles and dynamic environments.



Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon is a modern real-time dungeon crawling RPG. Immerse yourself in a fantastic adventure in the lands of Pohe Fakesys and investigate the cause of the returning chaos and darkness.

At the dawn of the Fourth Age... You, a poor young man struggling to make ends meet, have been summoned by a strange man claiming to be a member of the prestigious Mages’ Guild, to join him on a great quest. In the hope for a better future, you accept his request, for who could refuse to follow such a seemingly eminent member of the Mages’ Guild? A feeling in the back of your mind tells you that this is related to the strange symbol of a moon on you hand...

Your quest will require you to explore the Dungeon Kingdom world, to uncover hidden treasures, solve puzzles and battle dangerous creatures in many areas, from dark dungeons to snowy mountains.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will include more levels and environments to explore, with more creatures to battle, along with the continuation of the storyline. With this, there will also be Steam achievements, trading cards and leaderboards. We hope to also include cross-platform cloud saving; this will enable you to continue your quest across all of your devices.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The majority of the features that will be present in the full version have already been implemented. However, much of the main storyline has only just been touched upon and many of the environments are not yet present in the game.”​


You can grab the game here - or wait until the full release.

Anyone got it?
I was kinda excited about that game when I first saw it on Greenlight, but I'd like to know whether getting it right now in EA is a good idea or not.

I guess it's time for kanda to unlock the "purchase the game" option directly on its site :salute:

there will also be Steam achievements
Most Overrated features in Games

Well for replayable games, rather than house rules, it's nice to have a decent achievement that rewards different approaches, if not originally in game. Too bad most achievements are story based 'complete the tutorial' or 'finish the game' hurr durr, or grindy completionist or multi things. I like the ones like for Half Life 2 and add ons that have like pass the game without firing one bullet etc. or those that unlock if you go full ghost or non lethal(otherwise shitty new thi4f was somewhat playable by trying for those) or the ones for EU4 or CK2 where they act like missions to give a bit of focus and make you want to try other nations than the usual. These 'achievements' are fine, kind of like mission goals on the cheap. Unobtrusive.

Most achievements in Steam are just metrics for the developer to know how committed their user base is, and where the weak spots where user engagement drops are. I bet not many people got those Act 2/3 achievements in D:OS, or defeated the first boss in a roguelike.
