About
Quest Master is a dungeon creator inspired by the classics that made us love dungeon crawling. He unleashes your imagination, alone or in local cooperative play, to create dungeons full of puzzles, traps and monsters. Upload them for others to explore and challenge yourself with other players’ creations.
Key Features
- Make your own dungeons – With dozens of pieces, both classic and new, at your disposal, the possibilities are endless! There are also enemies of all kinds, from the typical villain to fearsome bosses. Combine different ones to create completely new mechanics and complex scenarios!
- Choose your theme – Switch between unique dungeon themes with the click of a button to give your dungeon a new coat of paint. Place your dungeon in a sand temple, fiery cavern, or lush forest. All dungeon components are swapped on the fly – you’re never limited to just one.
- A robust event system – Link different dungeon components with an intuitive drag-and-drop system to create events in your dungeon. Making keys and items appear when all enemies are dead, or setting up a devious trap with a harmless switch: these are the most basic examples. Experiment and discover what else is possible!
- It is dangerous to build alone – Do you have some inventive friends? Gather them together and work together to build and explore in local co-op play with up to three friends.
- Share your creations – Did you build the perfect dungeon? Upload it for other players to test their mettle. Do you need a new challenge? Dive into another dungeon in the ever-growing list of creations uploaded by the community.
