Introducing Dungeons of Infinity

A talented individual known as Justin Bohemier has transformed the classic Super Nintendo hit, A Link to the Past, into a procedurally-generated roguelike dungeon crawler. Over four years in development using Gamemaker Studio with the original assets, the game 'Dungeons of Infinity' aims to offer a new and challenging experience for fans.

Key Features:

  • Procedural Generation - Each playthrough offers unique layouts, enemies, and items.
  • Link's Nemesis Aghanim - The ultimate challenge lies in encountering Link's arch-enemy, Aghanim. Survival depends on navigating the dungeons until reaching this final boss.

The creator emphasizes that no continues or extra lives are available, adding to the game’s difficulty curve.

What do you think about applying roguelike elements to classic games like 'A Link to the Past'? Have you encountered similar fan projects?

Do I seriously need to sign up on discord to get this?

Haven't run it but the contents look legit, just in case anyone wonders if they should risk downloading a random file from a stranger online, thanks Jack Sparrow!

It's windows, so an exe, I will need to check if it runs later in Linux, not sure when I get to that.

So you tested that link? It’s safe?

I downloaded and ran the exe from that link, on my steam deck. The game ran and I played it. I do not know if it included any bitcoin miners.
