Double Dungeon is a dungeon crawler. The King has sent his best warriors to find the kingdom's missing treasure. As one of them, the player enters the creepy dungeons and gets ready to fight armies of monsters and other demons - green slimes, giant snakes, gnomes, orc, giant bees etc... Depending the warrior's level, the player can pick a different starting route and each one of these six starting areas are made of several sub-levels. The game uses a first person view and the player smoothly walks along corridors and surprises monsters as he explores their den. All the action is in realtime and fights, despite a round-based structure, also follow this rule. A password system is available and the players progress can be saved at any time during the game by pressing Start. Unlike other crawler of the time, two players can simultaneously explore the dungeon's twenty two floors.
