Skel Dungeon is a real-time strategy defense game. Become a small skeleton and defeat the heroes invading your dungeon. Set up and upgrade trap rooms, expand your dungeon, and strengthen your skeleton to stand against increasingly powerful heroes.
Skel dungeon is a real-time strategy defense game. Control the Skel to set up traps and defeat the heroes yourself.
At night, you can manage the dungeon. Place traps where heroes are likely to invade to prepare for their assault. Set up and upgrade trap rooms and expand your dungeon. Discover various artifacts and find hidden combination rooms with new effects.

During the day, you must control the Skel to directly engage in combat against incoming heroes. Steal heroes' heads and use their abilities. Use various transformations such as swords, magic, shields, and throwing stars to effectively defeat heroes according to the situation.

Face increasingly powerful heroes and clear all seven stages. Achieve high scores through the endless mode with random waves and effects. After completing stages and endless mode, earn higher scores to compete for rankings with other players.

You can't resurrect the Demon Lord all at once, sacrifice heroes repeatedly. Use the characteristic points obtained after completing stages to enhance traps and Skel, and create your own build. Unlock new trap rooms, transformations, and skins, and play with them. Adjust the difficulty as you like through perks and modifications, and earn bonus points.
