About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the sinister Cursed Forest in Bag of Dungeon 2! If you enjoy the idea of exploring a dark place, full of dangers and evil creatures, this game is for you. The premise is simple: a forest that was once beautiful is now corrupted and poisonous, and it's up to you and your friends (or just yourself, if that's the case!) to unravel its mysteries. The objective? Find the legendary Maiden Tree and break the curse plaguing the land.

Bag of Dungeon 2 is an adventure and fantasy game where with each step you build the map, placing tiles to reveal new paths, traps, and, of course, monsters. And speaking of monsters, prepare for combat! You'll have to use everything you find along the way: weapons, armor, and magic items to survive. With each game, the forest takes shape differently, ensuring that exploration is always a new challenge. With tile placement and role-playing mechanics, the game invites you to live this dark journey, whether in cooperative or solo mode. It's an intense experience where every decision counts and survival is the main prize. If you enjoy games with dungeon crawling, creature combat, and a touch of RPG, this adventure is worth checking out!
