How it feels

A methodical, old-school dungeon crawl where careful party composition and tactical turn-based battles are rewarded, but permadeath keeps tension high.

What players say

Players praise this as a nostalgic flash game from Kongregate days that still holds up. It is a very simple, no-frills tactical dungeon crawler with minimal story, focused on party composition and turn-based loot grinding. Some find the random starting setups unfair.
