Trick or Treat in ‘Popup Dungeon’ With a Free Halloween Expansion

October 22nd, 2020 Wraithkal News
Trick or Treat in ‘Popup Dungeon’ With a Free Halloween Expansion

With All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween) around the corner, more and more games are getting in the seasonal spirit with an update – small or large – themed around creepy crawlers and spooky spirits. Fortunately for fans of papercraft RPG fun, Popup Dungeon went with ‘large’ with a brand new campaign spanning sewers, graveyards, haunted houses, and the likes. Good stuff!

But what’s a Halloween-themed Popup Dungeon expansion without a bunch of ghastly new characters, enemies, and weapons? Boring, that’s what, so be sure to tell Rob the Zombie and Ortho the Bone Doctor I said hi, aye? A slew of new foes to vanquish also managed to join the fray, including a Pumpkin-Mimic and a Treant. Oh boy.

So come on, come out, go treat-or-treatin’, and survive the night! You’re not afraid of a fight, aren’t you?

Now, as far as the actual campaign goes… a curse has made trick-or-treaters’ costumes reality and it’s up to players to not only figure out what caused it and put an end to it, but also find a way home. To safety. On this most wicked of nights. Making matters worse (or… better?), the path home is not even remotely straight-forward, an open world-style map with areas connected by nodes replacing the typical linear route from A to B. A welcome change, if I do say so myself, and here’s an ever so slightly less fun tidbit: want to heal in this expansion? Better stock up on candy by trick-or-treating! Brutal, but hey, spirit(s) of the season and all that.

Last but by no means least, there’s new music from Gabriel Lefkowitz and “fabled 80s Rock-Band”, Thor. Sweet tunes.

Popup Dungeon is available on Steam and Humble Store.

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
