DungeonLand was a nifty little action game that came out on PC earlier this year. Featuring three player co-op with players jumping into the shoes of different characters, you'd fight through twisted amusement parks in a hilariously gory style of game that resembled the classic Gauntlet series. Our biggest gripe with the game was the often punishing difficulty combined with some networking issues which have since been fixed.
Dungeonland, the three player co-op hack and slash arcade game, has gotten a few updates recently - all of which - are free. The first is the game now supports Mac on Snow Leopard and higher systems and it includes SteamPlay for cross platform play. So if you buy the game once, you can play it on either platform. Speaking of buying the game, DungeonLand is on sale right now for just $5 or the four pack for just $15.
Since our DungeonLand promotion back in late January, developer Critical Studio has been working very hard to draw in new players heroes to their game. The most recent tweaking of gameplay balance and additional content has given us even more fixes and some crazy character items to obtain, both free and through DLC.
Those of us still bounding around the Dungeon Maestro's theme park have a lot to love about Dungeonland, as our co-op review so masterfully illustrates. Recently, Paradox Interactive placed the previously exclusive Grimoire Pack DLC on sale for the buying populace to consume along with an update that fixes a few rough spots in the game. Oh, and then there are the three video guides narrated by Rogue, Mage and Warrior. Just for fun.
The folks at RockPaperShotgun recently posted a stirring post-mortem with Mark Venturelli and Gabriel Texeira of Critical Games, the studio behind DungeonLand. It's a surprisingly meaningful tale that, with the right spin, could be a movie of the week: deep in the heart of Brazil, a group of freelance illustrators band together with the stubborn goal of making a video game. The odds are stacked against them in a country sparse with indie game creators. But they fight, they persevere, and they emerge on the other side with the shining gem that is DungeonLand.
What do you get when you combined a formula created by Smash T.V. with a demented fantasy filled theme park where the only thing riding is the heads of the enemies you lopped off? You get DungeonLand a new action game with some addictive elements and plenty of co-op action.
We hope that you enjoying your time today with Dungeonland! But if you haven’t picked up the game yet on PC, we want you to have a look at the game’s unique take on traditional dungeon crawling mechanics.
It was only last week that the DungeonLand release date was announced, but it seems a two week lead time may have jumped the gun just a little bit. Today Paradox have announced that DungeonLand will be hitting computers on January 29th instead of the previous date of the 22nd.
We've been following DungeonLand since it was announced last March, and thankfully unlike some other games coming this year, this one is coming in under a year's time - as opposed to a 4 year wait. The 3 player co-op hack and slash game is set to release on the PC on January 22nd. With that Paradox is taking pre-orders for just $9.99 on the game, which will be available from GamersGate and a handful of other digital distribution services.
