Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master is a role playing game in which a party of four adventurers explores a subterranean labyrinth. Its first person perspective and grid based movement align it with earlier dungeon crawling titles, but it introduces several distinct mechanical departures.

Character progression is handled through a system of improvement via practice, where skills advance through repeated use rather than through accumulating experience points. Spellcasting requires the player to assemble sequences from a set of magical symbols. Interaction with the environment is direct, using a point and click method to manipulate objects.

Combat occurs in real time, requiring active targeting of enemies to initiate attacks. This creates a challenging pace compared to turn based systems, as players must manage actions continuously while navigating the dungeon.
