Hello, I made this community as a place for a subset of RPGs that usually end up in the shadow of more popular open-world RPGs, JRPGs and Souls-likes.

My definition of dungeon crawlers (that's, admittedly, stretching the definition a bit), is as follows:

• it takes place in a confined space (doesn't need to be a literal dungeons!),
• it puts a strong emphasis on combat and looting,
• and it offers little to no story.

This includes a broad variety of games and genres, such as:

• Blobbers (first-person party-based RPGs like Dungeon Master)
• Traditional roguelikes with procgen, permadeath and one controllable character, e.g. Nethack
• Some ARPGs like Diablo and King's Field
• Many unconventional indie titles like Osteoblasts, Ruadine or Divers (UFO 50 game)
  And there are definitely other notable examples that I forgot to mention!
