How it feels

A tense, methodical descent into a dark medieval dungeon where every deliberate step carries the weight of permanent loss.

What players say

Players praise DeAnima as a traditional turn-based roguelike in first-person 3D that looks simple but is surprisingly deep, with hundreds of hours of content and hidden secrets. Many note it works great with a controller and on Steam Deck, though it can be punishingly difficult.
