About Number Dungeon
Number Dungeon is a turn-based strategy arcade game from Vertacore Entertainment Solutions. Released on PC in 2026, it’s a single-player roguelike where you solve puzzles using numerical and symbolic logic to progress through procedurally generated dungeons. The goal is to clear set floors or test your endurance in endless mode. It’s a stripped-down, cerebral challenge that emphasizes quick thinking over action. The game’s minimalist design and focus on tactical decision-making make it stand out in the strategy genre, though its niche appeal might not suit everyone.
Gameplay
Each floor is a grid of rooms filled with numbers, operators, and traps. You rearrange or combine elements to create valid equations that deactivate hazards and unlock paths. Moves are turn-based, with limited actions per room, forcing you to prioritize efficiency. Resource management matters: collectibles like “boosters” let you bypass tricky math, but they’re scarce. The endless mode escalates difficulty rapidly, introducing multi-step puzzles and tighter move limits. Controls are basic, mouse and keyboard for dragging items, but the mental grind is constant. Sessions often end in 20, 30 minutes, with runs feeling like a mix of Sudoku and puzzle platformers.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.4/10, with 65% completing the core campaign. Average playtime is 8 hours, and 29% own the 32 achievements. Community moods are split: 40% Frustrated, 35% Satisfied, 25% Bored. Critics praise its clever mechanics but note a steep difficulty spike. One review says, “It’s like doing homework, but the homework fights back.” Others complain the endless mode becomes repetitive after 10 floors. At $14.99, it’s seen as a low-risk purchase, though some feel the price doesn’t match its short replay value.
PlayPile's Take
Number Dungeon works best for logic lovers who enjoy tight, high-stakes puzzles. The $15 price tag makes it a decent risk, but the grind-heavy endless mode might wear thin quickly. Achievements reward completionists, but the 32 total feel sparse for the campaign length. If you’re into math-based challenges and don’t mind a punishing learning curve, it’s worth a shot. Otherwise, its narrow focus and short lifespan might not justify the cost.
