About the game
What you do in a play session
Gather your party, because the descent into the depths has begun! Here to Slay DUNGEONS: The Submerged | Deep Freeze transforms the combat experience of the original game into a cooperative dungeon-crawling adventure. Here, you and your friends aren't just playing cards; you're navigating dangerous terrains, fighting monster hordes, and trying to survive while hunting the dreaded Dungeon Boss.
The gameplay focuses on synergy: you'll need to customize your hero with abilities and looted items to cover your teammates' weaknesses. If one player is a combat powerhouse but terrible at exploration, someone else must step up, or the whole party will fall. And don't think it'll be a walk in the park; the dungeon is alive and reacts to your choices, throwing obstacles and dangers that could end your legend before it's even written in the history books.
In this base game, you'll find two distinct dungeon environments, four playable heroes, and four sets of monsters. The special touch? The Party Leaders from the original Here to Slay return as playable characters, bringing familiar faces to this new challenge. Additionally, the system is modular, meaning you can mix and match this game with other DUNGEONS line expansions to create fully customized campaigns. If you love the vibe of 'building the perfect party' and facing tactical challenges where every die roll can mean victory or death, this is your game. The question is: can you take down the Boss, or will you just become another skeleton decorating the scenery?
