Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is a 2023 remaster of QCF Design's acclaimed bite-sized tactical dungeon crawler, available on PC and Xbox One. Players manage a fledgling kingdom that requires constant funding, which means sending adventurers into compact, self-contained dungeons to loot gold from dangerous enemies. Each dungeon run involves careful resource management: exploring unrevealed terrain restores health and mana, so routing decisions carry real strategic weight. The remaster introduces a rewind mechanic that allows players to roll back to an earlier point in a run after dying, enabling experimentation with different approaches rather than forcing a full restart. Between runs, monster trophies can be traded for gold to upgrade the settlement and unlock more capable adventurer classes. The game includes daily online challenges, all previously released DLC, and a soundtrack composed by Danny Baranowsky and Grant Kirkhope. Comparable titles include Into the Breach and Dicey Dungeons.
