Lately we’ve been craving a really good dungeon crawler to take out and about on phone or tablet. So we set out to find the best iOS dungeon crawlers for iPhone and iPad!
Unfortunately, dungeon crawlers are a dime a dozen on the Apple AppStore as well as on Google Play. Because there are so many, it’s very difficult to find one that actually provides satisfactory gameplay and enjoyment.
The games listed below are considered to be the best solely in our opinion, but if there are any other dungeon crawlers you’d merit to be among the best, please feel free to write your thoughts down in the comments section below!

4. Space Grunts

Throughout your crawl, you’ll find a large collection of consumable items, armour, powerups, weapons and heaps more.
The gameplay will keep you wanting to go back for more over and over again.
3. Into The Dim
Developer: Happymagenta
Into The Dim is a charming 8-bit dungeon crawler that is completely free! Filled with challenging, strategic gameplay, Into The Dim puts you in the shoes of a boy with his dog.
You must explore tricksy dungeons and make sure you stay one step ahead of the devious puzzles, and use your brain to outsmart traps.
Gamers who grew up with Nintendo Gameboys will fall in love with the monochrome graphics and gorgeous chiptune soundtrack.
With a simple story that requires you to uncover the town’s mystery, Into The Dim will keep you entertained for hours.
2. The Greedy Cave
Developer: Avalon Games
When we came across The Greedy Cave, there was a little bit of skepticism due to it’s graphics and overall layout. After watching a few gameplay videos we thought it was worth a try, and boy was that the right decision!
The Greedy Cave sends you downwards through one hundred floors filled with monsters, traps and sweet loot. You start off by customising your character with different hair and facial features and eventually commence your dungeon crawl.
By obtaining better and more powerful loot, you’ll be able to progress further into the cave and take on even stronger beasties and bosses. Each piece of gear looks different when equipped, which adds a fun sense of customisation to the game.
The monsters are all really well designed, and being able to choose which stats get powered up when you level makes it so you can play however you want. We reviewed The Greedy Cave on iPad, so feel free to read more if your curiosity has been piqued.
1. Taichi Panda
Developer: Snail Games
When it comes to dungeon crawlers, a lot of gamers will remember Diablo and it’s sequels. “There must be a game for my phone that provides the same enjoyment!” we all think. And actually there are hundreds…
However, hardly any of them come close to the thrilling gameplay, combat and graphics found in Taichi Panda.
With multiple heroes to take choose from, each with their own unique playstyle, Taichi Panda provides everything a dungeon crawler fan could ask for. Awesome loot, devastating spells and abilities, and crazy bosses. There’s even the option to play online with friends, so the social aspect is incredibly inviting to gamers who want to play with their friends.
Taichi Panda would have to be one of the best iOS dungeon crawlers for iPhone and iPad we can find.
We took the time to review Taichi Panda a while ago so please check it out below.
