Each run sends one of six heroes into a dangerous dungeon. The Warrior, Duelist, Mage, Cleric, Rogue, and Huntress each have distinct mechanics and play styles as they face enemies and bosses on the way down.
Explore randomly generated floors filled with different rooms, items, enemies, traps, and hazards. Turn-based combat rewards careful decisions, while weapons, armor, magical items, and consumables help you adapt to each run’s finds.
Improve your hero with talents, choose a subclass, and unlock powerful later abilities. Upgrade, enchant, and augment equipment, or craft consumables through alchemy; when a run ends, start again with a new dungeon and new discoveries. Optional challenges and achievements add further goals.
Players often praise the game’s tactical decisions and the way learning its mechanics makes difficult runs feel more manageable. Reviews also highlight the variety of heroes, equipment, and randomized runs as reasons to keep returning, alongside regular updates. Some players find the hunger system restrictive, and others criticize the steep difficulty or controller support.
