Guild of Dungeoneering Lets You Build Your Own Dungeon Crawl
Once it's time to fight, you'll draw from your guild member's ability deck, which has some core cards that deal basic damage, as well as special cards based on the equipment they've picked up. It's turn-based fighting, so no twitching necessary, but you'll do well to read each card carefully, as you'll frequently have the opportunity to counter your opponent's moves quite handily. For example, I had a baddie use Headbutt on me, which deals two damage to your hero, but also one damage to the bad guy. By using Block to negate the two damage, your enemy just hurts itself, ostensibly by headbutting your shield. There's a "quick" modifier on some abilities as well, which acts much like First Strike in Magic; kill them with quick damage, and they won't get to hit you back.
The dungeon crawling on its own would make for a fine game, given the near-infinite replayability of the game's core concepts, but there's going to be more to be had with Dungeoneering than just... well... dungeoneering. The groundwork is laid for managing your guild hall, and it's only a matter of time before you're building out your very own base of dungeoneering operations if you're in early access.

Guild of Dungeoneering is tentatively slated for a Summer 2015 release via Steam. Once we at The Escapist have had an opportunity to really delve into the game, we'll bring you a more fleshed out look at what's in store. Stay tuned!
