Developers Astrolabe Games and Patapez Interactive have officially announced that their beloved roguelite metroidvania will exit Early Access and fully launch on December 11th.

Embark on a Wild Adventure as a Mischievous Monkey
In Dunjungle, players take on the role of a courageous monkey venturing deep into lush, perilous jungles to rescue a lost human friend. Each playthrough offers a fresh experience thanks to procedurally generated dungeons, ancient temples, and hidden crypts, all teeming with formidable foes, tricky traps, and valuable treasures. The game's combat system is a dynamic blend of melee weapons, powerful spells, and unique relics, allowing players to ignite enemies with fire, freeze them solid, shock them with lightning, or unleash powerful gusts of wind.
True to its roguelite roots, death in Dunjungle is not the end. Each defeat provides an opportunity for growth, as players retain progress, unlock new gear, and gain crucial knowledge about the world. This persistent progression system encourages repeated runs, ensuring that every setback paves the way for deeper exploration and more successful attempts.
Early Access Success and Player Praises
Dunjungle has already garnered significant praise during its Early Access period on Steam, boasting an impressive 97% positive user reviews. Players have lauded the title as one of the best roguelites in recent years, frequently highlighting its dynamic gameplay, fast-paced combat, and the constant need for swift movement and dodging. Many appreciate the extensive variety of weapons and classes available even in Early Access, along with an engaging progression system that keeps players hooked from their very first run.
The game's distinctive visual style, catchy music, and especially the charismatic monkey sound effects have received particular commendation. Its current Early Access price, approximately $4 USD, is widely considered a fair deal for the wealth of content offered. While players have requested more localizations and greater variety in attack animations, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Some noted an initial challenge, but quickly found the learning curve rewarding as new upgrades made subsequent runs more comfortable and fulfilling. Comparisons to genre giants like Dead Cells and Dungreed are common, though players emphasize Dunjungle's unique charm and identity.
Get Ready for Full Release and Demos
For those who want a taste of the adventure before December, a demo version of Dunjungle is currently available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, with demos for other platforms expected soon. Prepare to unleash your inner monkey hero when Dunjungle fully launches on December 11th, promising a challenging yet deeply rewarding experience for fans of the roguelite metroidvania genre.
