About Cozy Dungeons
Cozy Dungeons is an indie RPG that blends dungeon crawling with home renovation. Developed by Them Handsome Fellas, it drops you into procedurally generated underworlds filled with monsters and crumbling architecture. After clearing out foes, you rebuild the spaces into cozy retreats using furniture, decor, and traps. Released on December 31, 2026, it’s available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game’s charm lies in its juxtaposition of combat and creativity, you’ll hack through goblin hordes one moment, then paint murals on dungeon walls the next. It’s a niche mix of management and action, ideal for players who enjoy both strategy and sandbox design.
Gameplay
Each session starts by exploring a dungeon, navigating tight corridors while battling enemies in real-time combat. Your character wields swords, bows, or magic to survive, but the real grind comes after, switching to design mode to place rugs, lights, and defensive structures. You collect resources during fights to buy upgrades, like stronger weapons or decorative items. Boss battles punctuate each level, requiring both combat skill and smart trap placement. Sessions last 2, 4 hours, with a focus on balancing efficiency in combat and creativity in design. Controls are straightforward, but the dual focus can feel clunky. The game rewards experimentation, whether you’re turning a spider-infested crypt into a minimalist spa or a lava pit into a rustic cabin.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Cozy Dungeons 4.5/5, with 88% positive reviews. Average playtime is 18 hours, and 62% of players complete the main campaign. Community moods are split between “relaxed” (45%) and “satisfying” (38%), though 15% call it “frustrating” due to combat repetition. Achievement completion stands at 75%, with 50 total unlocks tied to design and combat milestones. Critics praise the “unusual fusion of genres” (GameSpot) but note “uneven pacing” (IGN). One player wrote, “The joy of turning a haunted crypt into a cozy home is unmatched.” Others complain about grinding for resources. It’s a polarizing but highly replayable title.
PlayPile's Take
Cozy Dungeons works best for fans of creative simulators and light RPGs. Its $39.99 price tag is reasonable for the content, though the combat can feel outdated compared to modern action games. If you enjoy tweaking layouts as much as fighting enemies, this is a solid pick. The 50 achievements add replay value, but don’t expect a deep narrative or polished mechanics. It’s a laid-back, quirky experience that thrives on its niche concept. Buy it if you want to decorate dungeons more than you want to fight in them.
