Players Like...

❤ Hardcore Dungeon Crawling

Players take on the role of a party of up to 6 customizable characters in this classic hardcore dungeon crawler RPG. The turn-based combat mixes the simplicity of Japanese RPGs with the challenging difficulty of traditional tabletop RPGs, requiring players to carefully consider each move to survive.

❤ Unforgiving Gameplay

One key aspect that players love is the game's unforgiving nature. Enemy encounters can be deadly, with a single wrong move leading to a total party wipe. Even basic actions like disarming traps or opening chests carry serious risks, as failure can instantly kill or permanently cripple a party member. This high degree of challenge and consequence is a major part of the game's appeal for veteran dungeon crawler enthusiasts.

❤ Exploration and Mapping

Exploring the grid-based dungeons and mapping them out by hand is a core part of the gameplay. Without the aid of an automap, players must carefully track their progress, noting the location of key rooms, puzzles, and enemy spawns. This old-school mapping process fosters a sense of discovery and accomplishment as players gradually uncover the secrets of each dungeon.

❤ Character Progression and Customization

As players delve deeper, they can level up their characters, gaining new abilities and stat increases. The game's character creation system allows for a high degree of customization, with players able to choose from a variety of classes and races to build their ideal party. Gearing up characters with better equipment is also crucial, as more powerful gear can be the difference between life and death in the game's unforgiving combats.

❤ User-Created Content

In addition to the five official scenarios, the game features a vast array of user-created scenarios and dungeons. This additional content greatly expands the game's longevity and replayability, allowing players to explore new challenges and stories beyond the main campaigns.
