Dungeon Dash: Multiplayer Dungeon Crawler Game Online

About Dungeon Dash

Dungeon Dash is an original game here, so it is fair to describe it by genre: a short, top-down dungeon crawl with the slow parts removed. There is no levelling, no inventory and no hour-long campaign. Each match generates a fresh dungeon of rooms joined by twisting corridors, puts a key in a distant room and locks the exit until somebody finds it.

Roaming beasts make the route dangerous. Touching one throws you back a few squares, freezes you for just under a second and, if you were carrying the key, leaves it lying where you stood for anyone to take. That turns the final stretch into a chase. A quick attack stuns a beast for about four seconds so you can slip past. Corridors also hide spike traps that slow you briefly, and rooms hold treasure that only matters if the clock decides the match.

The key carrier runs slightly faster than everyone else, and heroes are always quicker than beasts, so good routing beats fighting. A match is capped at two and a half minutes. It suits players who like maze games, light action and a result that can flip in the last five seconds.

How to play Dungeon Dash

1. Win by carrying the key onto the exit square before any other hero does.
2. Move through the dungeon with WASD or the arrow keys. All heroes start together at the entrance.
3. The exit is locked at the start. Find the key in one of the far rooms and walk over it to pick it up, which unlocks the exit.
4. Only the hero holding the key can finish. That hero also moves a little faster while carrying it.
5. Press Space, or the attack button on touch screens, to strike a beast within reach and stun it for about four seconds.
6. If a beast touches you, you are knocked back to a nearby safe spot and stunned briefly. If you held the key, it drops where you were hit and anyone can collect it.
7. After a knockback you are protected from beasts for a short time. Spike traps in corridors stun you for a moment when you cross them.
8. If nobody escapes within 2 minutes 30 seconds, a hero holding the key ranks first, then heroes are ordered by how close they got, with treasure collected as a small bonus.

Dungeon Dash tips and strategy

• Do not follow the crowd to the key. If a rival is clearly going to reach it first, wait on the route between the key room and the exit, where a beast may knock it loose in front of you.
• Stun a beast only when it blocks a doorway or corridor you need. Beasts are slower than you, so in an open room it is quicker to run around them.
• With the key in hand, attack before you enter a narrow passage with a beast in it. A four-second stun is enough to get through, and one touch costs you the key.
• Use the protection after a knockback. For those couple of seconds beasts cannot hurt you, so push straight through the one that hit you.
• Ignore treasure unless the timer is nearly out. It only breaks ties when no one finishes, and a detour into a side room can cost you the race.
• Learn where the spike traps are on the way in. You will run the same corridors on the way back, when a stumble is far more costly.
