Wield the awesome power of the Anvil of Krong, lest it wield you!
Incredibly complicated crafting system!
Diggles! Blobbies! Thrusties! Hordes of Monsters never-before seen!
Infinite replay value: choose from a selection of mind-boggling skills to create your character. A new gameplay experience awaits every time!

Atari is using a new anti-piracy system called "Hide and Seek®". You cant crack the game if you can't find it.
Seriously though, a large amount of potential customers are unable to find the game anywhere. Seems that a digital download version will not be available for another month, and only a few select stores received only a few boxed copies.
The release date for the game depends on distributor(s) and we’re keeping quiet on that ’til we get a go-ahead. To clarify a bit: We have an internal development schedule which we’re quite happy about and then we have a release schedule which, well, we’ll let you know.
Looking at the calendar, May is looking a good bit less likely, isn’t it. I think our official line is now “Summer 2011″, but I’m hoping to release the game as soon as possible — and I think we’re in a state where just a little crunch to do some real polish, fixing, and a few UI & content upgrades will get us out the door.
As for cost: “under $10″.
A reply to my question about release date and price on the gaslampgames blog.
Desktop Dungeons is a roguelike puzzle game and always fun for a quick 10-15min game, they'll sell an updated version in the future but the alpha version stays free
Gaslamp Games is proud to announce that we have partnered with Valve to release Dungeons of Dredmor on the Steam platform for the exceptional price of $4.99 on Wednesday, July 13th.
