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.

    I never thought I’d root for Nintendo’s lawyers but here we are.

        I hate watching a classic RPG get mutilated into a roguelike.

          1. Zelda isn’t an RPG
          2. Rogue is a “classic RPG”.
          3. Nothing got “mutilated”. This is a new game with borrowed assets and mechanics.
          4. Just don’t play it then, if you don’t like it.
          5. Let other people enjoy things that don’t hurt anyone else.
