Closing Comments:

Dungelot is an enjoyable roguelike that can provide a challenge to players of almost any skill level without becoming frustrating.  The twisted humor tinyBuild is known for combined with addictive easy to pick up, difficult to master gameplay makes this title a worthwhile addition to any roguelike fan’s library, especially ones with a penchant for puzzle games such as Minesweeper.

Score: 4/5
