Evaluation

Dungeon Team is a free-to-play, turn-based tactics game that launched on November 20, 2024. Since launch, Wakefield Studios has shipped a steady stream of updates including two major content drops in December 2024 (hero affinities and a significant ability point overhaul), multiple quality-of-life and feature patches in early 2025, and a burst of substantial updates from February through April 2026. On February 9, 2026, the developer posted a "development status" announcement explicitly stating that development had resumed after a hiatus, with a clear message: "More updates are on the way! Stay tuned for new features, content, and adventures." This post also described significant infrastructure modernization — including a backend migration, TypeScript codebase work, and integration of AI coding tools — framed as laying the foundation for future content. The most recent post, dated April 20, 2026, confirms the dev team is actively growing and announced an upcoming launch on the CrazyGames platform, signaling continued business investment in the game. There is no indication that development is winding down or that the game has been declared content-complete. The game is structured as a free-to-play multiplayer title with rolling tournaments and seasonal mechanics, and the developer has consistently communicated ongoing ambitions for the project.

About this game

Prepare to dive into dark dungeons and face waves of monsters, or test your mettle against other heroes in PvP duels to the death -- all in an art style harkening to the days of ASCII graphics.

Dungeon Team is a f2p turn-based tactics team builder where you create squads of heroes, assembled from 11 different classes. You'll send them to explore the Caverns, lay waste to enemies, and loot treasures & gear in a PvE idle dungeon crawler. When you're ready, you can go against other players in rolling 24-hour async tournaments as well as live, manually controlled Arena matches.

Each of the 3 game mods has as submode for squads of 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 heroes. Glory, riches and bragging rights await the victors! Level your team of heroes up with 11 different classes and 8 mix-&-match skill trees. You'll equip them with gear dropped by monsters, awarded for PvP tournaments, or granted by the gods. Let's take a deeper look at Dungeon Team's 4 different game modes:

THE ARENA

The Arena is the place where your heroes smash, shoot, stun, scare, bleed, poison, scorch, freeze, and shock their opponents into submission. It offers live PvP matches where you have direct control over your team in real-time – a little like a game of blitz chess. You will be rated and ranked on an Elo system to ensure fair matchmaking. And defeating human enemies will get you better loot and more experience!

THE INN

The Inn is an asynchronous auto-battle multiplayer game mode where you'll send your squads into battles with both parties controlled by AI. Players are organized into 24-hour tournaments where your goal is to gain as many peanuts as possible. Defeating an opponent's defense squad means stealing 10% of their peanut stash, as well as swapping tournament ranks with them (where higher ranks mean more passive peanut gains). If you gain enough peanuts you can rise to the next tournament tier, or maintain your tier. Lose out, however, and you could drop down in tier. Let's have a pint of ale, warm our feet by the fire and enjoy some nice trash talking in the in-game chat while watching our toons duke it out!

THE CAVERNS

The Caverns is an idle dungeon crawler where your teams of heroes explore a procedurally generated dungeon in search of treasure and fame. You’ll fight incrementally tougher enemies the deeper you go. Caverns is perfect for leaving on in the background while you work, study, or play other games. Many players even leave it running overnight and claim their loot and XP in the morning!
