In the world of puzzle games, sokoban titles seem to be all the rage currently. Of course, you have the likes of SokoBunny and SokoPenguin, but how about adding a bit of mythology to the mix?
Enter Minos Dungeon, a retro-styled sokoban title with some wicked puzzles that will have your head sufficiently scratched.
Horns, Activated!
Now available on Xbox platforms (with a PlayStation release a mere week away), Minos Dungeon comes to us from the brainboxes at Afil Games.
Here, you will take charge of the super-strong Ferdinando, as he attempts to reach the glittering treasure at the end of each of the 30 dungeons he explores. As with any soko-game, your goal is to push boxes around the place in order to create new paths, unblock existing ones, and manoeuvre your character into the correct positions.
Soon enough, unique block types will be introduced to the courses, including ones that zip blocks to the other end of the level, direction-changers, and extra obstacles.
Key Features
- Creative puzzles with unique mechanics and a balanced difficulty curve;
- Three biomes, dozens of levels;
- Pixel art style and a charming vibe that blends classic and modern;

Minos Dungeon Description
Get ready to tackle clever puzzles, slippery blocks, and a very friendly minotaur! Minos Dungeon is a pixel art puzzle game that combines logic, strategy, and a good dose of creativity—perfect for those who love solving problems in a fun way.
You control Ferdinando, a good-natured minotaur who isn’t interested in fighting in labyrinths—he just wants his treasures! To achieve this, you’ll need to push stone blocks through mysterious rooms, cover treacherous holes, and solve increasingly complex challenges. But don’t think it’s just about pushing: the blocks slide until they hit something, and each level brings surprises that will test your reasoning.
