Coming In Summer 2011 From Gaslamp Games: Dungeons of Dredmor

For the latest updates visit the Gaslamp Games Blog and the Gaslamp Games Twitter Feed.

In ages long past, the Dark Lord Dredmor was bound in the depths of the earth by great and mighty heroes. Centuries later, the magical bonds that hold him in place are slowly loosening and his power grows ever stronger. The land needs a new hero.

Unfortunately, what they have is you.

Step into the Dungeons of Dredmor and embrace your destiny. Face monsters the likes of which the world has never seen – the terrifying Swarmies, the undulating Thrusties, and the menacing Brax the Salesdemon. Find treasures like gold, magical weapons and armour, and lutefisk. Worship at the alter of Inconsequentia, the Goddess of Pointless Sidequests. Discover the power that can be had by wielding a bizarre armament of devastating weaponry such as the Interdimensional Axe, the Plastic Ring, and the Invisible Shield (if you can remember where you left it). Wield shoes decorated by the Dwarven Glittersmiths, all of whom have now committed suicide because of their shame, and embrace the joys of destroying giant moustache-wielding brick demons with a mace decorated with tawdry, delicious bacon. While you’re at it, be prepared to die. A lot. In hideous, screaming pain that makes you throw your keyboard out the window.

The Dungeons of Dredmor await. Are you ready for them?

  • Diggles! Blobbies! Thrusties! Hordes of Monsters never-before seen!

    As it looks right now, this game will be a sure purchase for me if it comes out on Steam. These days I don’t really buy anything that doesn’t get sold on Steam, so…

    Hope you guys can sell it on there! It’d be grand!

    Screenshots tells me that character will not look like equipped all goodie stuff he finds. Will it always look like “Farmer”? I don’t like to visualize equipment on his body. My opinion though…
