Delve to the bottom of a death pit with your pets

Legend has it thatLegend of Dungeonwas born from Reddit.Robot<3Kitty, the world’s firstmarriedgame development team was cruising around the popular aggregate website when they discovered the artwork ofSebastiaan van Hijfte. They fell in love, contacted the artist, and starteda modest Kickstartercampaign hoping to raise $5,000 to develop a game to bring those pixels to life. They raised six times that amount, allowing them to bring the game to multiple platforms (including Ouya).

It seems appropriate that the rouge-like beat-’em-up would be buried deep in the darkest corner of PAX East. That didn’t stopLegend of Dungeonfrom forming a crowd. The humble, charming artwork, beautiful, dynamic lighting, and simple-but-murderous campaign kept players coming back. It even has bathrooms!
