This new Steam game turns Tetris into a dungeon crawler, and it's pretty darn cool

Despite being created nearly 40 years ago, Tetris has never gone out of style. I don't think people will ever get tired of blocks falling from the sky while we frantically try to stack them up. Heck, Tetris just starred in its own sexy movie(opens in new tab) called Tetris.

So it's not a bad time to play a new game on Steam that turns Tetris, weirdly enough, into a dungeon crawler. In Blocky Dungeon(opens in new tab), from developer SquareAnon, you use Tetris-shaped pieces (they're called tetrominoes, by the way) to build segments of a dungeon.

Thing is, the knight can only take a certain number of steps before you need to drop more blocks to refill his action points, so there's a lot of bouncing around between building the dungeon and running your adventurer through it.
