Gameplay

Unexplored games are roguelike action role-playing games. The first game's objective is to reach the deepest floor of the dungeon and retrieve the Amulet of Yendor. The second game's objective is to destroy the Staff of Yendor. The second game features 3D graphics as opposed to the first game's top-down 2D graphics.

Reception

Both Unexplored games received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Waypoint wrote: "Unexplored's procedurally generated levels are dense with meaning, memory, and connection in a way that most other RL's [roguelikes] aren't". Rock Paper Shotgun also praised the procedural level design. Nintendo Life said that unlike Unexplored's "overly simplistic" artstyle, the "unusual approach to balancing combat and map generation" is its most memorable element. Nintendo World Report didn't like the game's combat and how the dungeon was procedurally generated.
