	Naturally, as this is a fairly simple concept to implement mechanically, ''many'' early video games flocked to the concept of a dungeon crawl, or the similar concept of "hack and slash" roleplaying. Many "fantasy" video games still love an optional dungeon crawl, as it provides some fairly easy-to-implement exploratory gameplay that requires little to no explanation as to why you'd go there. nor what impact it has on the surrounding world; for the former, "because there's treasure there" is sufficient, and for the latter, "it's out in the middle of nowhere" or "they keep to themselves" will suffice.

	The closely-related "hack and slash" genre differs in a major sense from dungeon crawls in that it tends to focus almost exclusively on combat.

A hack-and-slash campaign can focus more on going from place to place, killing monsters related to the [[BBEG]], and looting their corpses.
