Dungeon Party — Wiki

Overview

Dungeon Party is an MMO-style dungeon raid shrunk into a single-player browser crawl — the holy trinity of tank, healer, and two DPS. You pick a class and role; the rest of your party fights with real group logic (tanks hold threat, healers triage, DPS leash to the pull). Clear floors, grab a boon, and descend toward the mega boss.

It's fully static and serverless — the whole game (simulation, AI, dungeon generation, rendering) runs in your browser. No downloads, no accounts.

How to Play

1. Build your party. Pick your hero's class, then fill the other 3 slots — every party is 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 damage. (You can choose companions manually or let them roll, and set Difficulty, run length, an optional Seed, and a Theme here too.)
2. Choose how you play. Direct — you move and cast everything. Survivor-like — you move, abilities auto-fire. Idle — the AI plays the whole party while you watch (you still earn coins; tap an ally's healthbar to follow them).
3. Dive in. Hit Start Run, clear every enemy on a floor to open the boss gate, then beat the boss to descend deeper — grabbing a boon each time. Beat the Mega Boss on the final floor to win.
4. Get loot. Enemies drop Dungeon Bux — spend them on cosmetics to dress up your heroes.

Classes

Each run is one tank, one healer, and two DPS. Stats, descriptions, and abilities are pulled straight from the game data (damage/heal values at Normal difficulty).

Controls

• Move — WASD / arrow keys, or drag anywhere for the touch joystick.
• Cast — number keys 1–9 or click the hotbar; on touch, set up Spell Circles (drag-placed ability buttons, with an opacity slider).
• Click / right-click to move — the party paths there around walls.
• Map travel — tap the minimap to expand it; tap a discovered spot to auto-run there, or press-hold-drag and release on a spot to pick it in one motion.
• Pause / Menu — top-left buttons; your Dungeon Bux count sits just below them.

Dungeon Bux & Cosmetics

Dungeon Bux 🪙 are the game's currency. Every enemy has a chance to drop coins on death — both the drop chance and the amount scale with the enemy's strength (the mega boss is a jackpot). Coins drop on the ground and are vacuumed up when a party member walks near; anything left is swept up when you clear a floor, so you never lose what you earned. Your balance persists between runs.

Cosmetics

Spend Bux in the menu's Cosmetics Store. Each character wears one Top and one Bottom cosmetic. Equip them per class in the Cosmetics tab — each class remembers its own saved loadout (and AI companions of that class wear it too). Selecting a class auto-loads its saved set.

Dungeon Themes

Pick a tileset from the Theme dropdown on the menu:

• Crypt — cold blue-grey ashlar, dark mortar, verdigris moss.
• Castle — warmer grey stone, lighter mortar, polished flagstones.
• Outdoor — grassy dirt paths bounded by mossy boulder walls.
• Classic — the original flat checker floor (walls as dark void).

Plans & To-Do

The running roadmap. Done shipped · Planned committed next · Idea under consideration.

• DoneCombat AI rewrite (DPS) — melee & ranged damage dealers now use a "best fighting spot" scorer: sample candidate positions, reject ones dangerous at arrival time, score attack uptime vs. travel vs. pool-hugging vs. crowding, and commit. Replaces the old rim-hold/staging dodge special cases for DPS; tank & healers still on the legacy dodge logic (migrate next if this plays well).
• DoneOptions menu revamp — the main-menu Options section and the in-game pause menu are now proper settings panels (labelled rows with descriptions, section headers, segmented toggles). Added a Cosmetic Animations: Synced / Unsynced option — Unsynced offsets each hero's animated cosmetics so they don't all cycle in lockstep.
• PlannedMore cosmetics — a larger batch of tops & bottoms to add to the store.
• IdeaMore dungeon themes — e.g. sewer, cave, lava.
• DoneUnique enemy silhouettes — every enemy used to be the same circle (color only). Each type now has a distinct shape that telegraphs its role: goblin Grunt with pointy ears + snaggletooth, green hooded Archer, a squat matte-stone Brute (a fused boulder pile with chiseled seams, chipped facets and a heavy black brow plate), Hexer with a dark-blue wizard hat, a goofy green orc Elite (chiseled hunched silhouette, pointed ears, topknot, squished pig snout, warts and a tusked underbite), and a faceted "warlord" tier for the Boss / Mega Boss (back-blades, fanged maw, glowing eyes, gold crown). See the enemy appearance proposals.
• DoneTwo-phase mega boss — at half health the boss enrages: hits harder, moves faster, fires puddle volleys more often, swaps to a new attack from the roster, and summons a pack of adds. Toggle/tune it in the admin panel (Mega Boss section).
• DoneNew boss attack — slow puddle beams that radiate outward from the boss (joins the cluster & spray attacks in the random roster).
• DoneBoon tracker — semi-opaque icons under the minimap show your active boons; hover/tap for the buff name & effect.
• DoneBoon rarities — Common / Uncommon / Rare / Legendary, each with a colored card border (Legendary sparkles), a symbol, and a target badge (whole party vs. a class/role). 20 new boons added; drop odds are tunable in the admin panel. See the Boons page.
• DoneSave / load progress — export a code or .json file and import it on any device (no accounts, nothing stored online).
• DoneDungeon Bux currency + coin drops scaled by enemy strength.
• DoneCosmetics system — per-class Top/Bottom loadouts, store, equip tab.
• DoneThemed dungeon tilesets (Crypt / Castle / Outdoor / Classic) with a Theme selector.
• DoneTap/hold the minimap to expand it and auto-run to a discovered spot.
• DoneSpell-circle text auto-fits (whole words, no mid-word splits) + opacity slider + larger on desktop.
• DoneDesktop three-column main menu.
• DoneSummoned minions follow in a cone formation instead of stacking.
