Dungeon Tavern

Dungeon Tavern is a fantasy game where the player takes on the role of an adventurer, and the setting is a dungeon and a tavern. In addition to battles, you have to deal with the arrangement and affairs of the establishment. The mechanics combine adventure and management: you need to go into the dungeons for loot, and then invest in the tavern, improving it and attracting visitors. New opportunities and characters with their own assignments gradually open up. There are elements of randomness that make each run different. The design is hand-drawn, presented with humor. The game is small, but dense, and it has its own logic of progress. Between forays you need to take care of the tavern: repairs, furnishings and supplies require money and time. Characters give tasks that lead to rewards, and this gradually advances the story. The hero's equipment and skills influence what happens in the dungeon, so preparation is as important as courage. Dungeons have a different set of enemies, and before going out, you should evaluate your strength. The humor in the presentation is light, and the structure is transparent: he went down, got it, invested it in the tavern, moved on. Some of the assignments involve searching for items, and they pay better than regular outings. Improvements to the tavern are reflected in income: the decor, menu and staff affect the number of customers. Failing in dungeons does not break progress, so attempts can be repeated calmly. For those players who like fantasy and small projects with control, the Dungeon Tavern is interesting.
