Dungeon Explorer is a multi-player action RPG where up to 5 players can play at the same time. The story takes place in underground dungeons and you can chose from 8 different character types: Fighter, Thief, Warlock, Witch, Bishop, Elf, Bard or Knome. Depending on the character, the types of magic you can use, your attack strength, and your movement will all vary. To survive, you must know all about your enemies' weakness. You must also know about the special attributes of each magic spell and use them to your greatest advantage. In team-play games, working together is the key to victory.
When battling with multiple players, you must connect the same number of Wii Remotes or Nintendo GameCube Controllers as the number of players. To play with five players, you will need at least one Nintendo GameCube Controller.
