There might be a new expansion coming. (I say "might" because I don't think there's any info on it, other than a vague teaser site: https://dredmor.com/ )

Dredmoor is a diamond in the rough. Was always bummed that we didn't get to see other efforts from that studio.
Apparently they made 1 other game called Clockwork Empires. Never tried it though, and from the looks of the steam reviews, it might not be worth it to try.
I really liked DoD, as well as their humor and the way they designed their skills. I am really sad nobody followed a similar format, and that they original developer shat the bed.
Sad to hear. It was fun little game. I really liked the balance they struck between making things silly and still interesting to play. The game is also filled with references to other media and games. They also added a lot of quality of life things, like filtered crafting and autolooting, while not convieniencing away all the fun.
I'll be honest and say I've never played Dungeons of Dredmor (though it's on my wishlist now after this thread), but the description of it that I'm reading here reads almost spot on like a description of Dungeonmans, which I do know and love very much. I'll give that a recommendation for you to check out.
I went to check the trailer and it didn't look anything like DoD, it looked like every other fantasy Roguelike ever
The trailer doesn't really do it justice I don't think. But that's fair.
I really like the setting and art. The skill tree is silly (in a great way) and decently balanced. The greatest flaw is the game forcing you to wait for animations when moving around making the game way too slow for when you’re familiar (and bored) with the early floors. I would love to see more games like it but it does need more polish imo.
Yeah, that game is great. I hardly ever play it anymore, I can't remember the last time I booted it up, yet for some reason it has been allowed to take up hard drive space for many, many years now.
Yeah it's a great game and there are tons of build variety in it
I was thinking to play a unarmed, beserking, big game hunting were-diggle next. With a side hobby as paranormal investigator to protect against magic.
I loved this game back in the day but I really wish someone would make a sequel with its issues fixed. Also from what I understand the game still has lots of bugs including occasional crashing and saves being corrupted, which is a real shame.
It was pretty fun. I don't remember having too many issues, but I suppose that's not the experience of everybody. (Especially since the studio ended up closing.)
I remember loving it, might've been my first roguelike. I should boot it up again..
