From the Dev
Hi there, I'm the dev of this :)
Hi! I'm Christoph, the Dev of Dungeons of Dreadrock. I was recently invited to TapTap and I am very happy to join a community of mobile gamers that really care about the content. Thanks for having me.
I'm not a company and I'm not after the big money. My drive to create DoD was solely creative. I wanted to experiment and create an original, minimalist, non-repetitive and immersive experience that I wanted to be enjoyed by the biggest audience possible (which is clearly on mobile).
How One Professor Made the Smartest Twist on RPGs We’ve Played All Year
In his review of Dungeons of Dreadrock, TapTap chief editor Kef called this charming dungeon-crawling puzzler “one of the smartest and most surprising games I’ve tried this year.” It’s high praise, but it’s true! This title takes the setting and some of the standard enemies and scenarios we’ve come to expect from RPGs but switches things up with a much more intellectually engaging approach to surviving the dungeon.
Women are not allowed to...?!
I almost deleted this game the second I opened it because of this. ⬇️
But then I realized that maybe the dev did this on purpose because we actually got a female protagonist here. I also found an interview with the dev Christoph Minnameir on creating a female lead. It's interesting to read although I don't really like some of the interview questions.
Back to Dungeons of Dreadrock. The game itself is a nostalgic adventure game full of well-designed puzzles. I really like the voiceovers and the bold black font.
This game might drive you "Crazy"!
WooooW Before I first played this game, I thought it was a pixel action RPG. But it's a game with great puzzle elements. It's a game that challenges your spirit and has elements that drive players crazy!!!
While some UI elements don't clearly reveal their touchscreen roots, Dungeons of Dreadrock is a well-designed adventure that continues to surprise you with its tricky puzzles and engaging atmosphere.
Dungeons of Dreadrock: An Imaginative Anti-RPG
If you look at some of the games I’ve reviewed for TapTap, it’s no secret that I’m a role-playing game fanatic. There’s not much I love more than going on an epic journey, upgrading my gear, and leveling up to take on ever-more-powerful foes. But I also recognize why some people get pushed away from the RPG genre: These games tend to be all about abstraction. A character’s health and well-being are abstracted into hit points; the power of an attack is determined by a (usually invisible) die roll; even the way conversations play out sometimes comes down to stat comparisons. Does this character believe what you’re saying? Let’s check your charisma stat.

Dungeons of Dreadrock tugs on your nostalgia strings as it takes you back to an older game style that older gamers will remember fondly. Journey deep into the depths of Dreadrock Mountain as you try and save your brother after he failed to return from his tasks. Defying the elders you, the sister must take up your brothers sword and journey to the depths of the mountain and rescue your brother, as well as complete the task that he was supposed to finish.
A Game That Will Surprise You
I started playing Dungeons of Dreadrock with an expectation that it would be just another pixel-art dungeon crawler game, but it turned out to be a completely different experience (in a positive way). The atmosphere, music, and the story narration accompanied with an amazing voice-over are perfectly complementing the story which is also very well written! For a long time I didn't get this feeling of surprise while playing a small indie game. Although it's not exactly small - there are around 100 levels in this game and each level has a unique puzzle to solve. Some of these puzzles made me feel really smart whenever I managed to figure it out by myself. The game forces you to think outside of the box right from the start and the first 10 levels have one of the most intuitive and seemless tutorial sections in my opinion.
A Truly Unique Experience
When you first see this game, you may think it is very ordinary, just a retro style dungeon crawling game.
Actually, Dungeons of Dreadrock is a pretty well-plotted puzzle game. This game has almost 100 levels and each level is designed differently. This makes me very impressed.
The only weapon a girl has is a knife, and each level has unknown traps in addition to the threat of monsters. You can also see tributes to other games, such as Zelda and Shovel Knight. Just be prepared to die and try again until the success.
