At a glance

Dungeon Village is a town-building simulation from Kairosoft set in an RPG world. You develop a hamlet for warriors and merchants, while visiting adventurers defeat monsters and earn money. Dungeon victories can provide loot for shops, and a flourishing village may encourage adventurers to settle there. Training facilities such as Combat Schools and Magic Labs improve residents’ skills and help raise the village’s popularity. Meeting conditions lets the town rise in rank, bringing a wider shop selection and more advanced quests. The Cauldron lets you combine items obtained from quests or shops in hopes of adding rare equipment to the armory. Steam lists single-player play, achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. The game is listed for Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S, though the Steam platform listing specifies Windows. Released in 2012, its Steam genres include casual, indie, RPG, simulation, and strategy.
