UnDungeon Successfully Funded on Kickstarter

UnDungeon, a classically inspired action/RPG with roguelike elements, has succeeded in hitting its Kickstarter target with two weeks of the campaign remaining. The initial €50,000 goal was surpassed last week, and the campaign is now progressing through early stretch goals, with support from Square Enix Collective.

Among those stretch goals are content upgrades, but also the opportunity for the game to be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as well as PC.

UnDungeon takes place in a mysterious world based on the principles of the multiverse, whereby multiple variations of the same world have collided in a single dimension following a cataclysmic event known as ‘The Shift’. The game takes players on a supernatural journey across a dynamic, procedurally-generated map as one of the seven Heralds, each of whom have come from a world destroyed by The Shift.
