Best Dungeon Crawler Games on Steam

The first-person dungeon crawler is one of the oldest RPG formats there is: a party, a grid, a labyrinth and the slow pleasure of turning blank squares into a map you understand. The genre never went away, and Steam carries both modern remakes of the originals and new games that rethink them. Achievements in these games are usually about depth - clearing every floor, beating optional bosses, finding secrets - which makes them satisfying long-haul hunts.

1

Legend of Grimrock 2

Real-time, grid-based crawling across an island packed with puzzles and secrets. The achievement list leans on finding hidden things, which suits the game's love of riddles.

Legend of Grimrock

The game that brought grid crawling back for a lot of players: a single deep dungeon, tense real-time fights and pressure-plate puzzles. Shorter than its sequel and a great place to start.

Etrian Odyssey III HD

Draw your own map on a grid as you explore, build a party from a range of classes and head out to sea between labyrinths, which adds a whole second layer of exploration.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

A modern remake of the 1981 game that started the genre, with optional classic visuals. Unforgiving in the old way, and a piece of RPG history you can actually play comfortably.

DUNGEON ENCOUNTERS

Square Enix strips the genre down to numbers on a grid and a pure combat system. Divisive by design, but nothing else plays quite like it.

A first-person roguelike crawler for up to four players, where every run is a new dungeon and death is permanent. A massive achievement list for those who stick with it.
