Description

Dungeon Sookuma is a traditional turn-based roguelike: one step is one turn. Pick one of 14 lineages and 19 classes, make a pact with one of 19 gods or refuse, learn unidentified items by using them, and descend a dream dungeon that changes every night. The free demo (Windows and macOS; Korean, English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese) has the dream dungeon, the sewer and the honey mine. The full game is coming to Steam.

Could you build this?

Partial A basic grid-based roguelike engine is approachable, but designing, balancing, and executing 14 lineages, 19 classes, 19 gods, and procedural generation assets requires substantial game design and complex state logic.

What it would actually take: Typically built using Godot, Unity, or custom C#/Rust engines with a decoupled turn-based ECS (Entity Component System) architecture. Procedural dungeon generation involves cellular automata or BSP algorithms, while complex balance requires extensive playtesting and data-driven game architecture. Deep game design craft and procedural generation mathematics are the primary hurdles.
