Info

The Dark Cave is a gritty pixel art turn-based roguelike where you fight tense battles in opposite 3×3 grids against wave after wave of enemies. Choose between three heroes, each with different perks and talent trees: the sturdy knight, the quick fairy and the undead phantom. You will need to carefully consider every movement: your moves are limited and only recover between layers of the dungeon; when you run out of moves, every single step costs you health points. On top of that, every skill (and even walking!) has a cooldown time. You have the ability to see when and where the next attack of your enemies will land, though – so planning ahead is essential to make every movement count.

To aid you in your adventure you have up to 5 skills – some are aggressive, others are defensive. You need to consider where in the other grid your attacks will land, and plan your movement accordingly, keeping an eye on your enemies’ own attacks. You can also use potions to various effects: recover HP or moves, inflict negative status to your enemies… And finally, you can collect different relics that stay with you throughout your entire run and grant you positive effects. Between layers in the dungeon, different NPCs will give you the option to enhance your skills, get new ones (sacrificing your old ones in exchange), and buy more powerful gear.
