Gameplay

The game is a third-person adventure, with the player taking the role of an adventurer (either the Amazon "Red Lotus" or the Barbarian "Chaindog"), who at the invitation of a wizard explores a series of dungeons and must overcome both monsters and traps to find riches.

Reviews

IGN praised the variety of monsters and sound effects, but criticized "the glitchy, mediocre graphics, the unintuitive camera angles, and the sluggish control".[1] Gamespot stated "Deathtrap Dungeon turns out to be at the low end of games for the Sony PlayStation".[2]
