And if that handicap isn't enough, he's got to do it in a dungeon drawn on geometry-class graph paper. Your job is to place those rats, zombies, and goblins in your Chump's line of sight, in the hope of beefing him up with enough XP and weaponry to direct his attention toward his set goal, which might be as simple as looting three chests in the area or all the way to slaying a pissed-off minotaur. You're dealt five cards at the start of each round with an enemy, a treasure or a chunk of room to place in tiles along your hero's path. The twist is that you have control not over your hero, but over their environment. You start with the Chump, but eventually earn enough gold to hire one of several classes of useless adventurer: Apprentice, Cat Burglar, Bruiser, Mime-you read that right-before choosing which dungeon to raid. The format, with its focus on leveling up fast in quick bursts of gameplay to survive the ultimate challenges, pleasantly recalls Half-Minute Hero, albeit stripped of that game's 8-bit flair. The gameplay exists in some beautiful nexus of all RPG styles, flitting between being a card-combat title, a turn-based system, and good old-fashioned Dungeons & Dragons.

It is the story of anonymous, disposable failures casually flitting through a death maze of your making towards dubious fame. It is the story of petty street trash looking to die an ignoble death to buy a better bedroom. It is not a tale of gods and demons and the men caught in the wake of their eternal struggle. But will he be strong enough to take on the dungeon's overlord?
