Forget plush toys and novelty key chains—the prizes you’ll pluck out of Dungeon Clawler’s oversize crane game are decidedly deadly! Snag daggers, shields, and wacky magical items to wield against sword-toting crocodiles and one-eyed wizard cats. As the hapless Sir Bunalot, you’ve gambled away your fortune; to get it back, you’ll need to conquer 20 floors and defeat the loan-shark boss at the end. Start clawing!

What we love: Combining items. Use the water bottle to fill the claw machine with liquid, add a lava bath bomb to make it red-hot, then nab the water pistol to blast fiery magma at groups of foes. There are dozens of awesome tactics to discover!

Quick tip: Choose the brass knuckles whenever they’re available as a post-battle reward and upgrade them at the blacksmith. When plucked from the machine, they’ll let you completely dodge two incoming attacks.

Meet the creator: While on a team trip to Tokyo, the developers at Switzerland’s Stray Fawn Studio fell in love with arcade claw machines—and the idea for Dungeon Clawler was born. Founded in 2016 by game designer Philomena Schwab and software engineer Micha Stettler, Stray Fawn has also made Niche–Breed and Evolve.
