After selecting a character, the player is thrust in the game world and is encouraged to activate all of the seals the sprawling dungeon before being led to the floor down to the next dungeon. On their adventure, players must defeat many different types of enemies, ranging from slimes, to skeletons and deadly traps.

Reception
Rock Paper Shotgun Marsh Davies applauds the smooth gameplay and character classes, stating "It's splashy, frantic and hugely enjoyable, and its classes are constructed with smart consideration of their asymmetry." He goes on to indicate that the design elements of the game borrow heavily from similar roguelikes, stating "Dungeon Souls makes no bones about that extent to which it borrows from its forebears, but, in its particular arrangement of classes, does offer a distinct tactical flavour of its own." Hardcore Gamer James Cunningham heavily praises the game's execution, stating "It's an irresistible gameplay loop when done well, and Dungeon Souls quickly sinks its hooks in and doesn't let go."
