SHADOW DUNGEON
Make the
next decision.
A dark-fantasy hack-and-slash ARPG where loot, not luck, carries the run.
Use the official Steam listing for stable release and platform facts, and each guide's sources and verification date for details that can change as patches land. The 1.0 Complete Official Version ships the full 160-level story, the complete affix and rune systems, and the Greater Rifts endgame — everything on this site is written against that version.

FAQ
Questions
players ask.
01What is Shadow Dungeon?
A dark-fantasy hack-and-slash ARPG for PC on Steam, developed by OO Cat and released on August 26, 2026. You pick one of four classes and fight through a demon-infested dungeon built around loot. Read the guide ↗
02How long is Shadow Dungeon?
The official main story is 160 levels and takes roughly 30–50 hours, ending with your character around level 99–100. Greater Rifts extend the game after the story.
03Which class should I pick first?
Paladin is the most beginner-friendly class; Necromancer is the strongest overall comfort pick with summoned minions. Mage and Ranger are strong but need more mastery. Read the guide ↗
04How much does it cost?
The base price is US$8.99 (CN¥1,350 regional pricing applies), and launch buyers had a 10% discount. Check the Steam page for the live price. Read the guide ↗
05Is it related to the OSRS dungeon or the Roblox one?
No. This site covers the OO Cat Steam ARPG — not the Shadow Dungeon area in Old School RuneScape, the shadow dungeon in the Roblox game Sailor Piece, or the mobile Shadow Dungeon Battle Heroes.
06What happens after the story?
Greater Rifts unlock with four difficulty tiers — Normal, Master, Nightmare, Inferno — better rare-item odds on higher tiers, and rift-exclusive skill runes. Read the guide ↗
