Curse of the Dungeon Engine

The release date for Curse of the Dungeon Engine is July 16, 2026, on PC. This indie project blends first-person shooter mechanics with the progression of a dungeon crawler, pitting players against massive hordes of enemies across a 150-floor campaign. Featuring voxel-style art and procedural level generation, it focuses on the loop of clearing floors to find legendary equipment with specific skill modifiers.

With eight playable classes and both hitscan and projectile weaponry, the game is built for variety in combat styles. The inclusion of couch co-op alongside network multiplayer is a significant addition for a looter-shooter, allowing for local group play as you descend through the levels. Success depends on optimizing your build with over 40 unique legendary items to survive the deeper floors.

Fans of loot-heavy progression and retro aesthetics should wishlist this for a dedicated co-op session.
