Deckbuilder Looter Dungeon Crawler Out Now

Dungeon Clawler, a new mobile roguelike, is now available in early access on iOS and Android. The game features unique claw-machine mechanics for collecting loot and gear as you delve into a dungeon. Players take on the role of a lucky rabbit whose paw has been stolen by a villainous dungeon lord.

Claw machines, notorious for their frustrating unpredictability and underwhelming prizes, surprisingly translate well into this game's core gameplay. The inherent appeal of claw machines, despite their often disappointing results, forms the foundation of Dungeon Clawler's engaging mechanics.

As the rabbit, you'll navigate the dungeon using claw-like controls to grab powerful items and equipment. Strategic item combinations are key to defeating enemies. Throughout your adventure, you’ll encounter diverse characters and foes, experiment with increasingly bizarre gear combinations, and upgrade your item pool to create devastatingly effective combos. However, the inherent randomness typical of roguelike games remains a crucial element.

The Claw

The early access release of Dungeon Clawler on mobile is noteworthy, given the innovative implementation of claw-machine mechanics on touchscreens. Stray Fawn Studios has successfully leveraged the addictive nature of claw machines, blending them seamlessly with compelling RPG elements to create a unique and potentially successful title. The game's appeal stems from its clever combination of familiar frustration (claw machines) with satisfying progression (RPG mechanics).
