Players Like...

❤ Hardcore Dungeon Crawling

The game challenges players with a turn-based combat system that blends the simplicity of JRPGs with the brutal difficulty of tabletop RPGs. A single misstep can lead to the complete destruction of the player's party, creating a tense and unforgiving experience.

❤ Party-Based Character Customization

Players can create and customize a party of up to six characters, choosing from classes such as Samurai, Lord, Priest, Mage, and Thief. Allocating attribute points allows players to optimize their party's strengths and tailor their playstyle to tackle the game's challenges.

❤ Maze Exploration and Mapping

Navigating the grid-based dungeons requires players to carefully explore each level, mapping out the maze and memorizing key locations, traps, and monster spawns. The lack of an in-game map forces players to either manually draw their own maps on graph paper or utilize the Wizard's Eye spell for a temporary view of the current floor, adding to the sense of adventure and immersion.

❤ Unforgiving Mechanics

The game features unforgiving mechanics that can lead to devastating consequences. Characters can be permanently lost, and saves can be overwritten, forcing players to start over from the beginning. This level of difficulty creates tension and urgency, as players must manage their resources and make strategic decisions to ensure the survival of their party.

❤ Variety of Scenarios and User-Generated Content

In addition to the five official scenarios, the game offers a vast library of user-generated scenarios, providing an almost endless amount of content for players to explore. The ability to create custom party members and portraits allows players to tailor their experience and engage with the game in unique ways.
