About the Game

Dungeon Stalkers is a third-person PvEvP dungeon crawler. Players take on the role of “Stalkers,” venturing into cursed dungeons to uncover treasure, survive encounters, and outwit both AI and real players.

As you delve deeper, you’ll contend with ever-changing dungeon environments, cursed areas ruled by the Witch, and dynamic world modifiers like weather, climate, and time of day. Whether you’re cooperating, competing, or just trying to stay alive long enough to escape with your loot, every run tells a different story.

Key Features at a Glance

Dungeon-Based PvEvP Gameplay: Navigate traps, AI foes, and human opponents.
The Witch’s Curse: Random, powerful debuffs that change the flow of each run.
Armor Destruction System: Tactical damage mechanics where armor can be broken mid-battle.
Dynamic Events: Environmental changes and merchant behavior influence each session.
Unique Playable Stalkers: Each with their own narrative, skills, and loadout possibilities.
