Games like Dungeons 2

The Squirrel's verdictOur Adventurer Guild delivers turn-based tactical combat with Fire Emblem and FFT-style depth, layered under an adventurer recruitment and progression system. Released in 2024 with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating and a median playtime of 84.6 hours, it suits players who want buildcrafting and character growth over real-time construction. Reviewers consistently flag the visuals as dated and rough.

Not for you if you want real-time base management and minion control, or the dated visuals reviewers repeatedly flag as the game's weak point are a dealbreaker.

The Squirrel's verdictUnderground-only and faster-paced than Dungeons 2, War for the Overworld strips out the surface-world excursions and comic narrator in favor of a more traditional dungeon sim with a straighter tone. Reviewers note the campaign actively discourages slow, methodical play — the AI burrows through walls and attacks relentlessly, pushing the pace toward quick objectives over careful construction.

Not for you if you prefer pausing to plan methodically; the game does not allow meaningful slowdown and punishes defensive or patient play.

The Squirrel's verdictEscape The Mad Empire keeps real-time party control — five characters operating independently, similar to RTS unit management — but removes dungeon-building and minion economies entirely. Runs are procedurally structured with randomized recruitment, item drops, and permadeath stakes. Released in 2025 with a Very Positive rating across reviews praising its tactical depth.

Not for you if you want dungeon construction and resource management rather than roguelite dungeon runs, or require gamepad support.

The Squirrel's verdictMonsters' Den: Godfall is a turn-based dungeon crawler built around party combat, deep gear customization, and layered stat decisions — none of the real-time base construction or minion commanding that Dungeons 2 centers on. At Very Positive and a median playtime of 50.5 hours, it suits players drawn to old-school RPG systems over action-paced management. Reviewers warn that loot variety thins and repetition sets in past the midpoint.

Not for you if you want real-time base construction and army command rather than turn-based party tactics and loot sorting.

The Squirrel's verdictDungeons 2 puts you in charge of a dungeon and its minions from an RTS view; One More Dungeon 2 drops you into that dungeon as a lone fighter, first-person and procedural. No base-building, no minion micromanagement, no co-op — just tile-based crawling and combat runs, solo, for $14.99, with a median playtime of 6.5 hours.

Not for you if you came to Dungeons 2 for base management and minion control rather than solo first-person combat, since reviews describe the runs as repetitive with little weapon variation.

The Squirrel's verdictDungeon Tycoon shares the dungeon-builder premise: place traps and monsters, watch heroes wander through, manage resources. Unlike Dungeons 2's guided campaign with an active narrator, this is a slower tycoon sim with more idle waiting between interactions. Fits players who want dungeon layout and monster placement without the RTS combat or overworld raids.

Not for you if you want active minion control or combat rather than watching heroes move through your dungeon at max speed while you wait.

The Squirrel's verdictNaheulbeuk's Dungeon Master shares the dungeon-against-heroes premise and Dungeon Keeper lineage, but confines play to a smaller tower structure with limited levels and an emphasis on economic management over combat. Median playtime is 12.0 hours at a Mostly Positive rating.

Not for you if you want direct minion control, clear feedback on minion needs, or the ability to remove misplaced rooms after construction.
