Create Your Own Zelda-like Dungeons in Quest Master on PC, Switch

A character exploring a dungeon in Quest Master.

Developer Skydevilpalm and publisher Apogee Entertainment announced that retro dungeon creator Quest Master is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam! Players can craft and explore their own dungeons as early as Q3 2023, when Quest Master enters early access on PC, with a full release to follow.

Old-school Zelda and dungeon-crawling fans have a lot to look forward to here. This trailer showcases an impressive variety of 16-bit dungeon, trap, and puzzle options that players can tinker with, and they’ll be able to play through their creations solo or with friends! Quest Maker is tugging at our nostalgic heartstrings, and it’s doing it oh so well.

Here’s more color on this love letter to dungeon crawlers of yesteryear, courtesy of Quest Master‘s Steam page:

MAKE YOUR OWN DUNGEONS

With dozens of parts, both classic and new, at your disposal, the possibilities are endless! There’s enemies of all types too, from basic bad guy fodder to fearsome bosses. Combine different ones to create entirely new mechanics and complex scenarios!

CHOOSE YOUR THEME

Cycle between unique dungeon themes with the click of a button to give your dungeon a fresh coat of paint. Set your dungeon in a sand temple, a fiery cavern or in a lush forest. All components of the dungeon swap on the fly — you’re never locked into just one.

A ROBUST EVENT SYSTEM

Link different dungeon components together with an intuitive drag-and-drop system to create events in your dungeon. Make keys and items appear when all enemies are slain, or rig a devious trap to an innocuous switch — these are the most basic examples. Experiment and find out what else is possible!

IT’S DANGEROUS TO BUILD ALONE

Have some inventive friends? Round them up and work together to build and explore in local co-op with up to 3 friends.

SHARE YOUR CREATIONS

Built the perfect dungeon? Upload it for other players to test their mettle. Need a new challenge? Dive into another dungeon from the ever-growing list of community-uploaded creations.
