What is My Infamous Dungeon?
Ever wanted to be the final boss? My Infamous Dungeon lets you build a lethal lair to crush greedy heroes and grow an empire of evil in this roguelite strategy hybrid.
Gameplay
You're the bad guy here. Instead of protecting a base, you're building a dungeon to stop greedy heroes from looting your gear. You'll spend your time picking rooms to expand your layout, hiring monsters from various clans, and setting traps to keep the intruders at bay. It's a roguelite twist on the genre, so you aren't just sticking to one static build like you would in Kingdom Rush; you've got to improvise based on what you draft each run.
The monster management is where it gets weirdly addictive. Think of it like Pokémon for villains. You level up and evolve your creatures to make them stronger, but there's a brutal catch: if a monster is useless, you can literally turn them into food to feed your favorites. It's a dark loop that keeps you coming back to see how powerful your legion can get.
At $14.99, it's a bit of an investment for a small indie title, and you'll definitely feel some rough edges. It's got that early-access energy where things feel a bit janky. The biggest hurdle is the balance. Once you figure out the 'meta' and find the strongest combos, the challenge basically vanishes. It's a blast while it lasts, but the lack of polish in the late game keeps it from being a masterpiece. I'm landing on a 7/10.

What Players Say
Players are generally loving the villain fantasy, with some calling it a 'fun and light' experience that satisfies the RPG nerd in them. The monster evolution is a huge hit, though the community is vocal about the flaws. Several users warn that the game 'desperately needs a balance pass' because the difficulty falls apart once you discover the most powerful strategies.

Grab this if you love the evil overlord vibe and don't mind some indie jank. If you demand perfect balance or a polished AAA experience, wait for a few more patches before spending the $14.99.
