The Dark Souls of Dungeon Crawling

Day one Purchase. This is what I want from expansions or spin-offs/side-games. Something that feels a little different (Not more of the same). AOD is perfect for a linear game of party-based tactical battles.

Vault Dweller starting your game name with the word "dungeon" is a terrible idea. There are already 40 RPGs on steam that have the word dungeon in it, many of them are very well known. Consider synonyms that are less common like crypt, mausoleum, catacomb, ect. worst case scenario: someone googling dungeon rats gets wiki pages about rat enemies in dungeon siege or dungeon defenders or darkest dungeon.

 

[Excommunicator]

Change the name, srs

 

[Smashing Axe]

Looking forward to this. Hoping to make a crippled old man with high charisma and intelligence who leads a group of murderous psychopaths. Good luck Vince.

 

[Cadmus]

Eh, not gonna read any of the description, I will just buy it once it's out on GOG.
Congratulations, Vault Dweller , hope it doesn't suck.

EDIT: The name really is kinda shit but whatevs.
EDIT2: I like the non-retarded release date the most.

[Daedalos]

Not sure I want to play this, and I suppose VD could have used the ressources into the colony ship game instead of making this. Not sure we needed a AoD dungeon crawler, but alas, I will of course try it

 

[Cadmus]

Change the name, srs

Last time the codex tried to change the name of a game, we got ICY....

 

[CyberWhale]

Decadent/Decadence Tactics or bust.

 

[Severian Silk]

Is Dungeon Rats going to be set in the same shitty setting as AoD?

 

[Mozg]

I think it should be named Timelapse Vertigo

But seriously Dungeon Rats is a bad name.

Tunnel Rats will fool Vietnam veterans into thinking it's about them, go with that.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

The name's fine - I actually like it. It might end up being my first D1P ever, kickstarters notwithstanding.

 

[Jaesun]

Title name doesn't really bother me that much. In all these years, I know there is probably a very specific reason VD chose that title (and it probably fits the setting and game well).

I have honestly heard of MUCH worse game titles before....

 

[Bubbles]

At least put an exclamation mark in there ffs

Dungeon Rats!

 

[Bumvelcrow]

ave honestly heard of MUCH worse game titles before....

That's one's growing on me...

 

[veevoir]

Party-based combat-fag game about escaping a mine while applying a lot of violence?

Mine Kampf would be far better!

 

[Florian Gheorghe]

why not "D.I.E.!" as a rename? Short for : Dungeon Interestingly Enough :D

Dungeons & Decadence

 

[Turjan]

The name sounds like a cross of Dungeon Lords and Bad Rats. If that isn't a recommendation .

But congrats on the game! It definitely sounds interesting.

Age of Decadungeons

Bronze is the New Black.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Your adventure starts in the dusty shadows of a prison mine many leagues from any trading post or settlement. The 'Second Chance' (as in your second chance to become a productive member of society) is the most feared of all ‘hard labor’ and ‘gladiator camp’ prisons.(..) Starting out as a new prisoner at the bottom of the gangs-ruled prison hierarchy, and of the prison itself
