Dungeon Rustlers
It's Time To Rustle!
50 palm-moistening levels.
Global leader boards.
23 bumpin' tunes.
3 player classes.
Just.
Don't.
Die.
Those of you who have been long-time testers of the game will enjoy 10 *brand new* original tracks from our composer: Dmitry Zhbanov. Your foot will be tapping - albeit not as fast as your fingers mashing on the attack button.
Thank you to everyone for all your support during the development cycle. Help finding bugs, suggestions on improving game-play, and raising your virtual pom-poms to support our efforts.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please reach out and let us know. It may be 1.0 but I'm sure there are bugs to be fixed.
Happy Rustling!

Price Increase (for now)
Wanted to make everyone aware that we recently requested a price increase in the game to $4.99 (USD). This is so that we can launch the game with a discount (it's better for sales) when the time comes.
Thank you to all our early adopters who picked up the game at the discounted price. In February we'll be exiting Early Access and launching Dungeon Rustlers with a (to be determined) launch discount.
Happy Rustling,
Rob, Derrick, and Herb
v0.6.0
Iiiiiiiiiiit's - PATCH DAY!
**************************************************
* LEADER BOARDS HAVE BEEN RESET *
**************************************************
This is the final big update before we move into 1.0. From this point on it's just bug fixes with the occasional tweak. The plan (for now) is to wait until Steam's holiday sale is complete, and then we'll move out of EA.
Thanks to everyone for your support. As always, if you've got questions, suggestions, or bugs - let us know!
Happy Rustling.

Dungeon Rustlers Review by EnomView
A big thanks to the folks at EnomView.com for taking the time to put together a review of Dungeon Rustlers.
"The mix of an epic dungeon crawler and retro-electro style tunes and beats, made me taste the sweetened luxury of being in a 90’s arcade."
You can read the review in it's entirety here.

Icy Arrows Are Coming...
HUGE release coming tomorrow we think you're going to love it. We've got a new playable class for you, new levels, new features, and bug fixes: it's pretty much a dungeon-full of awesome! Stay tuned!
The Mage Update - v0.2.0
We're excited to release the second playable class for Dungeon Rustlers: The Mage!
He's a fire-ball throwing machine who's an absolute wreaking ball once you've got all his abilities and minions upgraded. The downside? He's squishy. With only 2 hit points, you'll find yourself staying far away from enemies instead of rushing in like you did with the knight.
============================================
===> THE LEADER BOARDS HAVE BEEN RESET <===
============================================
That means you've got a fresh chance at climbing to the number one spot in the ranking for both the Mage AND the Knight!
In addition to adding the Mage, there are more changes in this build to check out. Read the full patch notes below.
Happy Rustling!
