Buff Studio (CEO Do-hyung Kim) announced on the 15th that it would participate in the Next Fest of the global game distribution platform Steam with its real-time strategy defense game, ‘Skel Dungeon.’
Steam Next Fest runs from October 14th at 10 AM Pacific Time to October 21st. You can play the demo version of ‘Skel Dungeon’ by visiting the Steam page and checking out the game’s trailer, screenshots, and features.
‘Skel Dungeon’ is set in a medieval fantasy world where the Demon King’s castle has fallen due to an attack by heroes, and the Demon King has been sealed in a dungeon somewhere in the world. The player becomes a tiny skeleton and wakes up in the dungeon where the Demon King is sealed and must defend the dungeon from heroes and revive the sealed Demon King.
Key game features include:
- Pitfall room Installation: You must manage the dungeon by placing traps where warriors will gather at night and collect dropped resources. You can create a mighty dungeon by achieving synergy between trap rooms.
- Skeleton’s Transformation and Direct Battle: During the day, warriors will come, and you must directly control the main character to fight against them. You can also defeat the warriors and use their abilities to acquire transformations.
- Multiple times Play: You can’t revive the Demon King simultaneously. Sacrifice your heroes and prepare more powerful traps with the attribute points you earn. Play lets you unlock new trap rooms and transformations and discover hidden combinations.
‘Skel Dungeon’ is a game in which warriors come in endlessly, alternating between day and night. The game requires strategic choices from the user, which is an important element in clearing waves. The user must defeat the warriors, sacrifice treasure, and expand the dungeon.
Meanwhile, ‘Skeldungeon’ has been recognized for its quality, winning the Indie Game of the Month award in the first half of 2024 and being selected as one of Indie Craft’s top 50 best games.
