A note from the founder

I started this in a Shoreditch flat with one broken headset.

In 2019 I was wiping on the same raid boss for the fourth night running and realised nobody had written down what actually worked. So I did — badly at first, then obsessively. That first messy write-up became DungeonEmpireWarriors.pro.

Today we're a small team of players who test every build before we recommend it. No affiliate fluff, no rushed hot-takes — just honest, mechanics-first coverage written from our studio on Rivington Street.

Frequently asked

Is the blog free to read?

Yes — every boss breakdown and news post is free and always will be. Our optional £6/month membership only unlocks the Build Vault and the same-day Patch Radar newsletter, which help us keep the lights on without ads or affiliate spam.

How often are guides updated?

Boss breakdowns publish every Thursday, and Build Vault loadouts are re-tested within 24 hours of any balance patch. If a hotfix changes something mid-week, we flag the affected guide with a dated update note at the top so you always know how fresh it is.

Which games do you cover?

We focus on dungeon-crawlers, empire-builders and action RPGs — currently Nightspire, Ironhold Online, Crown & Cinder, Vaultbreakers and Aetherforge. We add a new title only when we can commit to covering it properly, so the roster grows slowly and deliberately.

Can I write for you?

We take on two or three contributors a season. Send us a link to a clear or a guide you're proud of via the contact form below. We pay per published piece and every submission is edited alongside you, not just published raw.

Do you take sponsorships?

Rarely, and always clearly labelled. We never let a sponsor influence a review or a tier-list ranking, and we turn down anything we wouldn't recommend to a friend in our own Discord. Editorial independence is the whole reason the blog exists.
