In contrast to many other games, you don't control your hero in Guild of Dungeoneering, but construct a dangerous labyrinth around them, in which they move as they please. To get the gold for the guild's further development, you send your heroes to the dungeons. With the gold you gather, you buy new rooms and unlock new character classes, equipment and artefacts.

You start the game with one subordinate hero and basic equipment for your guild's headquarters. Your task is to gain glory, gather riches, and put your competition down a peg. You play as a leader of a run-down adventurers' guild. The game was published and promoted by an American company – Versus Evil, specializing in indie productions. It's the first big production of the studio's founder. It was created by Irish indie one-man studio Gambrinous, existing since 2008.
