The genre is still going strong many years later with more games being added to the gaming category each year.
The very first dungeon crawler video game to exist was developed in 1975, called pedit5. The genre makes for some incredibly satisfying gameplay. These games have heroes who navigate a labyrinth environment, or dungeon, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find. Dungeon crawling has long been associated with fantasy RPGs in both video and board games for decades.
