The Doors of Trithius is an open-world RPG roguelike. Engage in tactical turn-based combat in a living world of warring factions, wandering behemoths, and ancient magic. Level your skills, cook, craft, and explore dungeons. Will you follow the story, or let adventure be your guide?
Players can freely navigate the vast, procedurally generated open world, exploring newly created towns, dungeons, and encounters with each playthrough. This ensures that every adventure is unique, providing high replayability as the world and its challenges never remain the same.
As factions battle for territorial control, the prosperity of individual regions changes. Players can choose to join these conflicts, affecting the availability of goods, quests, and other content within the affected settlements. This dynamic system adds depth to the open-world experience.
The game's turn-based combat system utilizes a "tick-based" time mechanic, where factors like movement, weapon speed, and action speed determine turn order. This encourages players to carefully consider their tactical decisions, with access to over 200 combat abilities across 12 distinct weapon skill types.
Players will encounter over 100 unique enemy types, each with specialized AI behaviors. Adapting to the diverse threats encountered in dungeons and the open world is crucial to success, as players must prepare appropriate countermeasures.
The game offers 14 non-combat skills that players can level up through use and strategic allocation of skill points. These skills unlock new abilities and passive bonuses, allowing for deep character customization. Combined with the choice of 7 background options and over 30 starting traits, players can tailor their characters to their preferred playstyles.
The crafting system enables players to create a variety of items, including food, potions, and equipment upgrades. The loot system features hundreds of items to discover, including rare enchantments. Questing plays an important role, with both hand-designed and dynamically generated tasks that reward players with resources, reputation, and exclusive benefits.
The game has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players, who praise the depth of its gameplay, strategic combat, and the developer's commitment to ongoing support and updates. Despite being in early access, the game already offers a substantial amount of content and a compelling core gameplay loop that keeps players engaged.
