Create Your Hero: Choose Your Class

Bard (melee) - Unleash the power of song and mighty roars upon your foes. Armed with a trusty sword and shield, the Bard specializes in passive area-of-effect damage and buffs, becoming a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Cleric (melee + ranged) - Prepare for battle with sturdy armor and powerful healing abilities. The Cleric offers the unique choice to fight with a mace and shield in melee or a ranged wand, combined with high survivability to outlast any foe.

Enchanter (ranged) - Master the arts of stunning and lightning magic. As the Enchanter, you can control the battlefield by stopping enemies in their tracks or even transform into a wisp of illusion to escape danger.

Necromancer (ranged) - Command the undead with the Necromancer, the game's resident pet class. Summon skeletal minions and wield potent poison and cold damage, enhanced by self-buffs, to become an undead-friendly powerhouse.

Paladin (melee) - Charge into combat wielding a mighty two-handed sword or hammer. The Paladin dominates the battlefield with devastating area-of-effect purification and damage abilities, making them a formidable holy warrior.

Rogue (melee) - Evade enemies by lurking in the shadows, then strike with deadly precision using the Rogue's powerful dual-wielded daggers.

Warrior (melee) - Embrace either a defensive or offensive stance, transforming the Warrior into a fearsome combatant. Master both survive-ability and raw damage and combine these with the Warrior's devastating whirlwind ability.

Wizard (ranged) - Unleash the elemental forces with powerful area-of-effect spells. Combined with a drake companion and teleportation, the Wizard becomes an unstoppable force of nature.

Survival - Immerse yourself in the original game design, where surviving the elements is crucial. Complete with all the survival elements, the survival tree, and difficult dungeon encounters.

Hardcore - Available for both Survival and Descent, this mode raises the stakes by limiting you to a single life.

Choose the style that suits your preferences, there is no wrong choice!

Essential Tips for Survival and Success

Surviving can be challenging (except in Descent mode, where potions are essential!). Gather as much food as possible, cook your vegetables, harvest wood, mine ore, craft new armor, and establish a thriving farm.

Enhance your survival chances, inventory space, and character's appearance by developing your town. Unlock new buildings as you venture deeper into the dungeons, and craft new armor, rings, and potions.

Now you're truly ready! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we enjoyed creating it!
