Description

This epic deck-building adventure blends rogue-lite dungeon delving with strategic card battles. Choose your fighter - Valiant paladin? Mystic sorcerer? Master archer? Sinister necromancer? By yourself or with friends, explore an ever-changing labyrinth filled with monstrous foes guarding coveted treasures.

Overcome diabolical challenges as you customize your deck, purchase powerful abilities, and conquer endless battles solo or unite allies in coop against increasingly ominous threats. Adapt strategies and gear up for the final showdown versus Cerberus himself!

Triumph on the Paths to Aegis and be cemented as a legend in the realms for all time! Adventure calls...who dares to answer and claim glory?

Every turn begins with the fateful roll of a die, determining if you can swiftly traverse deeper into the dungeon's depths or whether you must unsheathe your weapons once more. Roll a 1 or 2 and ready your warrior for battle - specialized life clip trackers will represent the dwindling health of both yourself and the enemies faced, adding tangible stakes to each skirmish. Triumph in combat to capture spoils of coins. Fail after losing all clips and death's dark resurrection fountain awaits you to continue your perilous quest. Through disciplined strategy by building your own deck, push ahead tile by tile in the procedurally generated labyrinth until at last Cerberus awaits!

Navigate the mystical ever-changing labyrinth, reshaping itself anew every quest. Choose your path across one of 8 distinct underground realms filled with unique tiles – some offer handy tunnel shortcuts while others hide bustling markets to purchase new abilities or level up your warrior.

Steel yourself as combat begins! On your turn, play up to X action cards depending on your current level - tactical decisions between damaging foes or healing yourself make every card play count. After you perform your actions, roll the fateful die to determine the enemy's attack potency. Standard attacks chip away, but beware of special critical hits that trigger based on the die roll, inflicting mortal wounds if luck sours. Topple your enemies to confiscate their coins, then make a pit stop at the market to transform wealth into power by investing in deadlier attack cards or leveling up.

Death roams even the best-laid plans though - fall in battle and awaken by the resurrection fountain having lost half your hard-fought coins. New cards purchased from markets stay equipped for future redemption runs toward Cerberus. Now ready yourself champion - rally and return wiser into the dungeon depths!
