Dungeon Life - Endless loot & upgrades

Dungeon Life presents a limitless advancement framework akin to the casual/idle gaming style, where players can perpetually discover increasing amounts of treasure and gold.

Throughout their journey, players will have the chance to unlock and acquire a variety of options for spending their gold and loot. This includes gaining new abilities, enhancing weapons or armor, or investing in local shops for improved offers.

Dungeon Life is a free dungeon-crawler RPG with infinite progression, out now in Early Access on Android

Solo developer Morgan Bard at Happy Games LLC has announced that Dungeon Life, the studio's dungeon-crawling RPG adventure, is out now in Early Access on Google Play. The AI-driven dungeon-crawler lets players progress through the game infinitely via continuous loot-grind similar to idle games.

In Dungeon Life, players can expect to unlock items, skills and gear via the infinite progression system as they spend their gold and loot on shops in town. There are more than a whopping 100,000 loot items to discover, as well as tons of craftable skills, upgradable abilities, and options to invest and build in town. There are also adorable pets, challenging bosses to take down, along with character customisation and full offline functionality that lets players enjoy the game even without an internet connection.

Players can also enjoy the free game with no monetisation schemes at all, given that the mission of Happy Games LLC is to create "games that put a smile on your face, without putting a frown on your wallet."

Dungeon Life – A Strange, Spammy, Surprisingly Decent Time

What’s up, legends? So I decided to try out this game called Dungeon Life, and let me tell you — from the moment I opened it, I was like… “Huh?” The graphics didn’t exactly blow me away, and the characters? I don’t even know what was going on with those. I saw the female character model and just had to pause — wow. That was something else.

Still, I kept it moving and gave it a fair shot. Gotta do it for the content, right?

First Impressions – Minecraft Dungeons Lite?

Booting it up felt kinda like a low-budget Minecraft Dungeons — which, by the way, I actually liked. Shame the industry dropped it so fast. But Dungeon Life clearly wants to be in that same ballpark, with its chibi blocky models and action-RPG vibes.

Once you’re in, you pick a weapon, head into a dungeon, and start tapping... and I mean tapping like your life depends on it. Because it kinda does.

Gameplay – Tap Till You Drop

So here’s the deal: Dungeon Life is pretty much an idle dungeon crawler — but with a twist. If you stop tapping your screen, your DPS starts tanking immediately. You’re basically locked in a full-on screen-smashing workout the entire time. It’s chaotic, it’s noisy, and it kind of hurts your finger after a while.

Enemies hit hard, the health bar isn’t very visible, and the moment you run out of potions, you’re toast. But somehow, it’s still… fun?

I got a hammer, I smashed some orcs, I fought a mimic, I got loot. Then I gambled it all again by diving into the next floor. There’s something satisfying about grabbing gear and seeing your stats go up, even if the visuals are kinda wild and your character looks like an over-inflated Funko Pop.

Progression – Broke But Hopeful

The game starts you out broke, and it stays that way for a while. You need gold to level up, buy skills, or use things like the "Wish Tree" in town, but early on, you’ll barely scrape together enough to upgrade anything. That said, finding loot and slowly building your kit feels rewarding — especially when gear slightly changes your character’s appearance.

Also, the town has a few neat features like citizens who show up every 10 floors and give you perks. Cute touch.

Final Thoughts – Worth a Try?

Listen, Dungeon Life is not the most polished mobile game. It’s rough around the edges, and the tapping mechanic can get real old, real fast. But for something you can pick up and play for 5–10 minutes here and there, it’s actually decent.

It’s the kind of game you can grind while waiting in line or riding the bus — just don’t expect depth or elegance. And maybe don’t play with sound unless you’re into really repetitive audio.

If the dev adds an auto-tap option or makes the combat less finger-breaking, I think it could grow into something cool. As it stands, it's got that “$5 Steam game” energy — weird, janky, but oddly endearing.

The ultimate glory might be located just one level below; it’s time to explore the vast dungeon and seize your destiny!
