Long ago, the Dark Lord Dredmor was bound in the darkest dungeons beneath the earth by great and mighty heroes. Centuries later, the magical bonds that hold him in place are loosening and his power grows ever stronger. The land cries out for a new hero, a powerful warrior or a mystic wizard like those spoken of in the prophecies of yore.

In Dungeons of Dredmor, players must battle their way through the dungeons of Dredmor, fighting the terrifying Swarmies, the undulating Thrusties, and the adoreable nest-building Diggles.
