Here to Slay Dungeons has crossed $4 million on Gamefound with a week still on the clock, nearly doubling the $2.5 million it had raised in its opening days. Over 16,800 backers have piled in, and the stretch goals are stacking up fast, with ten unlocked in the first 24 hours alone.
This is a big shift for the Here to Slay franchise. The original Here to Slay is a competitive card game where you assemble a party of heroes to take down monsters, and it became one of Unstable Games' biggest hits. Dungeons flips the script into a fully cooperative dungeon crawler for 2-4 players, running about 60-90 minutes. You pick a hero, roll dice against monster defence values, and level up abilities as you push deeper into themed dungeon environments like Molten and Overgrown. If the dice-rolling combat and party progression loop sounds a bit like HeroQuest meets the Here to Slay art style, you are not far off.
What stands out is the modular approach. The campaign offers three standalone core boxes, each built around a different dungeon theme and packed with four heroes, six ability schools, two modular dungeons, and four bosses. Own more than one box and you can mix and match heroes, dungeons, and bosses across sets, which gives the game a long shelf life for groups who like variety.
With seven days left and momentum showing no signs of slowing, $5 million is well within reach. If your group has been looking for a lighter co-op dungeon crawler to bring to game night, this one is worth a look. The campaign runs until mid-April on Gamefound.
