Diehard Dungeon
By Tricktale | Released Feb 28, 2013
Combining its own unique take on the real-time roguelike genre, with a nostalgic 16-bit look and feel; Diehard Dungeon is a game that feels both familiar and quite different at the same time, "occupying a curious middle ground between The Legend of Zelda and The Binding of Isaac". [Edge online 2012] Followed by a trusty, treasure collecting companion chest, the player must make their way through the dungeons many randomly-generated rooms and levels. Armed with a sword and a ‘hand cannon’, all manner of nasty dungeon dwellers, bosses and traps will need to be defeated or traversed in order to emerge from the dungeon victorious! To aid them in their quest, the player may be lucky enough to encounter one or more upgrades, or new abilities, scattered throughout the dungeon. A randomly generated dungeon is created every playthrough. Discover the dungeons many secrets and multiple outcomes. Do you have what it takes to survive the dungeon?

Latest News: Version 1.4 "Evolving The Formula"
3 comments by Tricktale on May 4th, 2013
Diehard Dungeon version 1.4 “Evolving the Formula” will introduce three new major features that will continue to evolve Diehard Dungeon’s unique take on the roguelike formula.
The new features are: Stats, Ranks and Tokens.
Stats
All stats will be recorded and viewable by the player. Everything from number of deaths, to kills, escapes, total treasure and more!
A total stats overview will be viewable from the main menu, and ‘run’ stats will be viewable in the event of the player’s successful escape from, or untimely demise in, the dungeon.
Ranks
The player will receive a rank / title based upon their current stats. Ranks will go up and down.
The player rank is probably the biggest new feature, as it will determine the overall difficulty level of the game. The better you do, the more challenging the game will become.
Only the most skilled dungeon escapees will attain the highest ranks.
Tokens
Tokens are awarded to the player for completing specific tasks, such as, defeating a boss, or escaping the dungeon, or intentionally making a run more difficult by avoiding chests, hearts and treasure.
Before a run, the player will have the option of using a token to modify the run in some way. The exact modification, as with most other aspects of the game, will be randomly selected from a ‘slot’ chest. Modifications will be everything from starting with a chest, to increasing luck, and much more!
If the player has enough tokens, they will also have the option of exchanging for higher ranks (excluding the highest attainable rank).
The minor details are all subject to change, but the above outline should give you a good idea of what to expect.
This will be a substantial update, that will see a huge increase in re-playability.
Stay tuned!

Added a couple more features to the next patch. Please take a look at the v1.3.4 Patch Information: Desura.com
It might be a accepting file type instance problem. Might be because of my virus protector. It likes to cut out a lot of exceptions lol.. I'll try downloading it separate and adding it to "admin"
Seems like all my games need me to add to admin to use :/
Patch notes for version 1.3.4 have been posted on the Forum.
First major free DLC outlined: Dieharddungeon.wordpress.com "Evolving the Formula!"
IT says cant create graphics card on launch
newest update wont let me play it anymore :/
Hmm, that's strange! There aren't any major changes that would cause it to crash. Does the game start at all? It may be that one of the files has become corrupt. Have you tried the DRM free version?
The room changing mechanic is too sensitive in my opinion, it's really annoying to lose all the loot from a room by getting too close to the door. A 'open/pass through' button would be worth it.
Yeah, It's something I've wanted to change for a while I've got a couple of ideas that I'm experimenting with that I hope to include in an upcoming patch. Thanks for the comment! :)
