FPS Classic Gets Turn-Based Spin-Off Taking Direct Inspiration from Doom and Wolfenstein Mobile Titles
Dungeons of Dusk, a new turn-based dungeon-crawling RPG spin-off of David Szymanski’s acclaimed retro-style FPS Dusk, has been officially announced for release on mobile platforms in 2026. The title, developed by 68K Studios and published by New Blood Interactive, is a spiritual successor to the often-forgotten mobile cult classics, Doom RPG and Wolfenstein RPG, originally released in the mid-2000s.
The game is set to bring the fast-paced action and gory aesthetic of Dusk into a new format, translating the shooter’s unique enemies and weapons into a strategic, grid-based dungeon crawler.
The Main Event: Turn-Based Retro Mayhem
Dungeons of Dusk is designed to appeal to both fans of the modern retro FPS movement and aficionados of mobile gaming history:
-
Obscure Inspiration: The game’s core hook is its direct homage to the turn-based FPS-style RPGs developed by Fountainhead Interactive for mobile phones. This unique blend of first-person perspective with turn-based movement and combat has a significant, if niche, place in gaming history.
-
Canonical Story: The game takes place canonically between the episodes of the original Dusk, allowing fans to delve deeper into the lore of the unsettling, Lovecraftian world created by David Szymanski.
-
Content and Modes: The title is set to feature a substantial single-player experience, including a 30-level campaign with character progression and NPCs. It will also include high-replayability modes such as Endless Arena, Boss Rush, and Survival Mode.
Bringing the FPS Spirit to Mobile RPG
While the gameplay is turn-based, the game is committed to retaining the high-impact feel of its shooter predecessor. Players will encounter both familiar enemies from the Dusk universe and new monstrous foes, all rendered in the distinctive low-poly, retro style.
The confirmed multi-platform release for iOS and Android in 2026 ensures that mobile players will have direct access to this highly unconventional and highly anticipated fusion of the FPS and RPG genres. The project represents New Blood Interactive’s continued commitment to celebrating and innovating within the retro gaming space.
