What it is
Dungeon Hack is a role-playing dungeon crawler developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by SNEG. Built using the Eye of the Beholder engine, it sends a character through dungeons with pits, traps and puzzles. The layouts are randomly generated, so each run can present a different dungeon. The game includes combinations of play, magical and non-magical items, and a bestiary of more than fifty foes. A roguelike option makes death a more final end to an adventure. Dungeon Hack is listed for Windows and DOS, while its Steam listing specifies Windows. Steam features include single-player play, downloadable content and Family Sharing. The game is listed as released in 1993, with a Steam release date of March 29, 2022. Its central appeal is replaying dungeon journeys with changing layouts and taking on the risks of a more punishing mode.
