Players take escaped criminal adventurers on unsavory missions through four distinct regions, each with their own monsters & encounters.

Players must complete their mission before the Hand of Doom descends on the board, unleashing evil magic on the land.
Dungeon Degenerates is for 1-4 players co-op. Players can form parties or split up throughout the game at will; there is no obligation to stick together. Game play is 1-3 hours based on mission.

There are multiple missions & objectives of varying difficulty with multiple ways to approach each mission.

Encounters allow multiple interaction choices; you do not have to fight everyone you see. Play features an open experience system allowing for character customization with new skills. You are always in danger - the town is not an artificial safe zone - combat is dangerous. There are various modes of travel - players cooperate to choose their route & pace, or split up & fend for themselves. Dungeon Degenerates features streamlined combat with tactical depth; each player rolls dice only once on their turn, using standard 6-sided dice only. There are over 100 monsters with unique abilities & artwork.
