Burlington, VT – March 19, 2026 | Independent development studio Blüd Brüther has released their first major update for Auto Dungeon on Steam
The update includes a menu of unlockables, titled the Compendium, filled with diverse challenges for the player. Each completed feat unlocks a new card to appear in subsequent runs. Every individual card introduces a new game mechanic, big or small, that either drastically alters the course of a playthrough, or significantly changes the balance of the game. Over 25 brand new weapon types have also been added!
Auto Dungeon is a roguelite autobattler built around dungeon-crawling in an endless, procedurally generated world. Players collect cards by battling and looting, then use them to summon, fuse, mutate, and capture creatures drawn from classic RPG archetypes. The fusion system allows units to combine repeatedly, creating wildly distorted creatures with unique stats, traits, emergent synergies, and bizarre appearances.
With around 50 handcrafted units and countless possible mutations, no two runs are the same. Players can experiment with powerful trait combinations, and discover unexpected strategies that push (and inevitably, break) the system in a myriad of ways.
We think of the creatures as animated pieces on a game board. The world is grid-based, and generates dynamically as players explore, with lots of procedural dungeons and structures. Players fill their room-tile with units, move from room to room, and initiate battles with neighboring rooms of enemy units.
