Dungeonborne is currently celebrating its success on Steam. The new offshoot of the ‘Dark and Darker’ principle is well received by fans, but they are missing one feature.
How is Dungeonborne currently performing? Dungeonborne is well received by fans of the game. Even a week after the game’s launch, player numbers seem to be holding steady (via SteamDB).
Dungeonborne is heavily inspired by the genre pioneer ‘Dark and Darker’ and offers the familiar PvEvP battles in the dungeon for solo players or groups of up to three players as one of 8 different classes. However, despite the game being released not too long ago, fans already have wishes.

A topic divides the community
What feature is controversial? PvP is simply part of Dungeonborne for many. The thrill of losing everything in a fight makes it interesting for many players. Others are not so fond of PvP, which is why the demand for a pure PvE mode has been voiced repeatedly in recent days.
NerfedSkills writes on Steam: ‘A pure PvE mode would be cool, especially when collaborating with randoms. Initially, it was a good experience, but as a new player, the last few runs were immediately ended by max-level players who completed the missions effectively in fast-forward while watching […]’.
Demryn gives the game a negative review on Steam and writes: ‘Why does it always have to be PvP?’
Others believe it is good that there is no PvE mode. Schotti writes in his review on Steam: ‘People who complain that this game is not PvE do not understand the thrill of an extraction game. This game has various difficulty modes that really allow someone to enjoy the game without ever running into an enemy (or they just run away in fear).’
Is there a solution for PvE fans? Yes, there is a solution, even if it is not perfect. Dungeonborne offers all players custom games where they can conquer the dungeons without PvP opponents.
However, the catch is with the loot; you do not take it out of the round and you also do not receive any experience points to level up. Additionally, you need an ‘opponent’ on the other team, which can of course be a friend who does not attack you.
