Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master is a role-playing game in which players guide a party of four adventurers through a subterranean labyrinth. Its first-person perspective and dungeon exploration align it with earlier titles like Wizardry, but it diverges in several key systems.

Character progression is handled through practical use rather than abstract experience points; skills improve organically as they are employed. The magic system requires players to assemble spells by arranging specific runes into sequences. Interaction with the environment is direct, utilizing a point-and-click interface to manipulate objects.

Combat unfolds in challenging real-time, requiring players to actively target and click on enemies to attack, a departure from the turn-based systems of its contemporaries.
