Dungeon Drafters Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a playable demo only. Dungeon Drafters has been successfully funded by Kickstarter and it is now under development!
Dungeon Drafters is a world where magic is cards and cards are magic. Play as a young adventurer, eager to explore ancient dungeons and find long-forgotten cards to build the legendary spell deck that could defeat the one wielding the forbidden cards the entire world fears!
Dungeon Drafters is:
- A tile-based dungeon crawler being developed for PC & Nintendo Switch.
- A deck-building game, where your weapons are your cards.
- A rogue-lite, where defeat means game over, but you don't lose everything.
In Dungeon Drafters, your cards are your arsenal. Split the ground open with earthquakes, cast white-hot fireballs, and call down lightning to eliminate your foes.
Use your cards in conjunction to execute incredible combos that devastate the battlefield, destroying all that stands in your way. As long as you have the cards, the power is in your hands.
We truly hope you enjoy Dungeon Drafters demo! JOIN US!

The game looks interesting. Any possibility of a Linux demo?
use wine or proton
I tried this game 2-ish years ago and had a lot of fun with the mage. Very strong mechanics!
This week I've tried a few runs of the newest version and I feel mixed. I miss the electric monsters that zoomed across the field, but I assume they're being saved for other dungeons.
The part I -hate- is the new plant enemies. Almost every run I've had was ended by getting rooted in a spot where I couldn't attack, and I couldn't draw the correct card in time. I'd suggest either A) changing their cross-shaped AOE to an X-shaped AOE so when they aim next to you you don't get hit, B) making them inert every other turn so you don't get rooted several turns in a row, or C) both. I think A and B might not actually be enough when you enter a room with 4 plants.
That being said, I'm having a lot of fun up til that point. Please fix!
Ew furry. Otherwise a great gane.
This is absolutely awesome! Been fan since 2021 and I am so happy that this game will be in full release Best of luck :D
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear you are excited for the full release :)
updated yesterday? what's new?
Hey, we're actually updating the demo here on Itch.io because we've created new builds for two major upcoming events. We will be attending Taipei Game Show and NextFest soon, and we wanted the build on Itch.io to be updated as well.
The new version includes the same dungeon as before, but all playable characters are now available.
I hope you enjoy it ✌
I found a bug where if a beetle is summoned onto the charm trap it doesn't change color but still becomes friendly.
super super fun a few small issues tho one if you die while rooted the rooted continues to the next run and theres no way to get rid of it without closing and reopening the game. two sometimes it'll randomly crash when using a card.
three like the comment below me the softlock is bad ;-;its still one of the best games ive played very fun
i have realized its not a softlock i am just stupid. but its still slightly annoying
The game is awesome but I did get softlocked by one of those plant guys because every turn he would fire a seed bomb (which roots) and I wasn't in line of sight to hit him. Please give it more attacks! Have my plight not replicable
good work
I'd love to test the demo on macOS (m1 sillicon) if that build is a possibility.
Multiplayer?
Awesome demo ! I'm so eager to try to build some awesome synergies in the final game !
Thanks a lot :D
When an explosive enemy self destructed on a button in a puzzle room while lured by an orb and in so doing hit the player, the game went into an infinite loop of player and enemy turns ending.
Thanks for the bug report! I'm sorry that you encountered such an issue while playing.
This game is so beautifull, I loved it
Can you please put this games on the switch I really enjoyed it and I am waiting for a full release
We're going to release the final version on Switch! It is confirmed since our Kickstarter campaign :D
It's really good. I don't usually enjoy these kinda of games but it was really interesting and enjoyable
Thank you!
Any estimated release date?
not yet! We are currently working on the final stage of development, and soon we'll have more news about it :)
HOLY JESUS! This game is AWESOME! Please, don't let this project flop, I wish I could help. I just wanted to leave a feedback. I think letting the fast forward and overview button to be "toggle-like" in the full game would be really nice and helpful. I like to play fast and see information all the time. Anyway, I'm in love with this project, seriously!
Also, sometimes the card descriptions bug and the slimes doesn't divide properly, in case nobody mentioned or if you aren't already aware of that.
Thank you very much for the support! I'm truly happy to see you are excited about the game :)
We're getting into the final stages of development right now and I'm pretty sure you're going to enjoy how the game evolved!
Best,
Demo
This is a really interesting concept, and you've executed it so well! I really like strategy and rogue-likes, so seeing them in one game is amazing! Also, HOW DID YOU MAKE THE MUSIC SO GOOD?!
Thanks a lot for the compliments! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game. Make sure to keep an eye on our future updates ;)
bro, honestly THIS IS THE BEST GAME WHOAAAAA, the mechanism like FFTA Tactic, like it. The graphic pixel and goodnes cool. And instantly integreated with draft cards make this game MAX WHOLESOME. Still wait until the game release. Can't wait, thx for the chill atmosphere gift :)
Hey Michl, thanks a lot for the comment! :D
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed Dungeon Drafters demo, and I can guarantee you that the current state of the game is infinitely more fun to play than the version you've just tried. Also, glad to see you mentioning FFTA Tactic, not a reference people point out usually.
Best,
Demo
how do you open the rar file? I have tried different methods but nothing seems to be working. PLEASE help looks super cool.
You will need a rar extractor like winrar
You can use just use winrar. 👍 Next time I'll keep in mind to use a zip file, I guess people get less confused hehe
Will a zip file be available soon? Have the same problem with the .rar file.
Nice demo, I like.
played as much as i could, and looved it.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
an amazing game, i cant wait till it comes out in full ^w^
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)
i am not sure how to run this when i try to open this game on my laptop it comes up as a video. is there a separate program i need to run this game?
buenisimo juego
Gracias
i cant open it
Hey! Is this built on Unity? Looks great.
I haven't tried it, but i have watched @YungMuShu's video and it looks nice, congratulations!
loved the base game cant wit for the bita
Thanks
If you like the video let me know down in the comments or even hit me with a like and/or sub! I’m Yung MuShu and I cover everything Indie and Itch.io related! I love finding new games that I enjoy so much that I wanted to showcase those games to help find others games they may or may not like!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your content :)
Also, I'm super sorry about the game soft locking in the end hah
Hi I have found a bug. If you run when you start the game all the outlines get offset
Awesome game! Can't believe it's just a demo.
This small demo is very enjoyable. The variety of cards requires a certain amount of strategy, even if this first floor is rather simple and straight-forward. One other thing I also enjoyed was the music becoming more lively when going into battle and settling down again when just moving through the level. All in all, very fun to play.
Thank you! I appreciate the comments :)
Enjoyed this game alot, pretty good for an alpha version
great pixel game
