Dungeon crawling has long been associated with fantasy RPGs in both video and board games for decades. These games have heroes who navigate a labyrinth environment, or dungeon, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find. The genre makes for some incredibly satisfying gameplay. The very first dungeon crawler video game to exist was developed in 1975, called pedit5.
