Monsters are of various difficulty and are randomly drawn with the exception of the powerful villain, who is usually encountered by a specific end-game trigger.
A hero could run into a goblin in one room and a troll in the next. Temple is different because it is built on a campaign mode in which your character can increase its powers over multiple linked scenarios, so it accounts for levelling.
But Dungeon! This is achieved by:. So, a Rogue spends most of their time exploring the first two levels, battling lesser monsters for small treasures, trying to amass 10, gold.
They might venture down to level three for a battle or two, increasing the treasure haul but also running into considerably tougher opposition. Meanwhile, the Fighter delves deeper, down to levels four and five, going against tougher opponents but picking up better treasures as they hurry towards 20, gold.
