The true evolution of the Classic Dungeon series has arrived with
CLADUN X3!

■Story

Countless worlds,
countless dungeons.

Manoakaz: a miniature world
that connects across many times and places.

It is said that only the chosen “Wicked”
may enter this ancient realm.

And today, yet another villain
has been summoned to Manoakaz…

■System

▼Challenge the Dungeons Beyond Manoakaz to Become the Strongest!

One day, you find yourself suddenly brought to Manoakaz—one of many villains gathered there. You’re told that those gathered must fight in a deadly game—all in the name of ‘world peace.’
To survive among these ruthless competitors, you must become stronger.
Train yourself, collect items, and step into the mysterious dungeons that connect to Manoakaz to become the ultimate villain!

CLADUN X3 is a pixel-art action RPG overflowing with hack-and-slash depth, letting you freely customize your playstyle with near-limitless freedom. Combine a wide arsenal of weapons, magic, and movement abilities to defeat oncoming monsters and traps as you carve your way through each dungeon!

▼Master a Variety of Weapons and Actions to Conquer Savage Monsters and Deadly Traps!

The dungeons are filled with vicious monsters and countless dangerous traps.
Battles unfold in real time—attack, cast magic, dash, jump, slide, block with your shield, glide, and strafe to fight your way through!
Unleash quick, precise actions to defeat enemies and push deeper into the dungeon!

Six weapon types can be equipped: swords, hammers, staves, spears, bows, and daggers. Each comes with distinct attack ranges and unique actions, and each class learns different techniques.

You can also perform a variety of actions to avoid traps—slide under infrared beams, jump over floor traps, or use charging enemies to smash through obstructing walls. Quick thinking to choose the optimal action for each situation is the key to survival!

Various equipment and items lie hidden within the dungeons. Search treasure chests to obtain powerful weapons and gear and strengthen your character!

▼Power up by assigning allies! Magic Circles: the key to growth!

Magic Circles are the signature party-building system of the Classic Dungeon series, allowing a multi-member party within a single-character action RPG.
Place your main character in the center, then surround them with support characters who strengthen the main character through their positioning.

There are over 200 types of Magic Circles, some more than four times larger than those in previous titles. Certain Circles even allow 16-member parties. With many newly added tile effects, the range of possible builds has dramatically expanded.

In battle, support characters act as shields, taking damage in place of the main character. As long as they survive, the main character won’t take damage.

Magic Circles are learned progressively as the character levels up, and each job class learns its own set of Circles—for example, Mages learn magic-focused Circles, while Merchants learn money-oriented ones.

▼Always fresh and endlessly fun: “Random Dungeons” filled with tough foes and treasure!

Separate from the main story dungeons, the game features a 100-floor random dungeon called the Rungeon.
Each time you enter, its layout changes. Explore the shifting floors while searching for a staircase “Gate” to proceed or an “Exit” to escape.
Up to 10 types of Gates appear randomly. Entering each Gate increases monster level and randomly alters item drop rates and other conditions.
Choose well and you might trigger a fever state where enemies drop items constantly. Choose poorly and monster levels may skyrocket past 1000, turning the dungeon into a wandering hellscape as you desperately hunt for the exit!
Perfect for leveling when stuck in the main story, hunting rare items, or simply enjoying the life-or-death thrill!

In addition to Rungeons, this title introduces “Map-geons,” random dungeons generated using Magic Maps.
Magic Maps can be obtained by clearing a Map-geon to the lowest floor, or by sharing with other players through communication features.

▼For Creators at Heart: Take on Dungeons with Your Own Custom Characters!

In CLADUN X3, you can design your very own one-of-a-kind main character, support characters, and even weapons and armor using the drawing tool.

Design your own unique pixel art characters!
Create original weapons and armor.
With “Flight,” you can now draw wings too!
Your lovingly created characters will fight, explore, and shine in the game world!
You can even recreate your favorite characters from other games!

It’s not just characters you can customize! The “Music” feature has been greatly enhanced—now supporting pink noise, allowing you to create rhythm instruments and sound effects!
With expanded tone, envelope, and macro settings, you can now compose an even broader range of tracks to bring your world to life!

Give your custom character their own theme song. The possibilities are endless!

▼Share Your Creations with Players Everywhere!

With the new Communication System, you can create your own town maps that perfectly match your original characters.
Not only can you design your own town graphics, but you can also add custom music, place characters, and express your unique world just as you imagine it.
Once your masterpiece is complete, share your town map and let other players experience your creativity!

By publishing a town map, other players can explore it and even share any “Magic Maps” you place within it.
Trade maps with other players to discover rare dungeons you might never find on your own!

Even players who don’t create maps can enjoy exploring and collecting Magic Maps in Auto Explore Mode.
