Daniel (@dungeondive) kicks off a 2025 re-evaluation series where he revisits each game in his top 10 Dungeon Crawl and Adventure Game lists from 2024. The first entry is Quest for the Lost Pixel, a solo-focused, Roguelike dungeon crawler from Gummy Bear Factory Games, available exclusively via The Game Crafter.
Daniel explores why the game remains a personal favourite despite its relatively obscure status and steep price tag. He discusses community reviews, his storage solution, and both the strengths and weaknesses of the game. The main criticisms? A lack of world-building and narrative flavour, and repetitive dungeon tile art. But its strengths shine in the fast setup, endless variety, modular expansions, and a gameplay loop that captures the spirit of classic Roguelike video games like NetHack or Slay the Spire.
We also get a detailed look at Daniel’s custom house rules and a potential legacy-style system using exploration tokens—a sign of just how invested he is in the system. Despite its cost and print-on-demand limitations, Daniel reaffirms his confidence in Quest for the Lost Pixel’s place in his top 10, noting how it reignited his passion for tabletop gaming.
An upcoming gameplay video will follow to show the game in action.
