About
Store description and overview from Steam.
The Dark Cave is a gritty pixel art turn-based roguelike where you fight tense battles in opposite 3x3 grids against wave after wave of enemies.
Movement during battles is limited. You will need to carefully consider each move and anticipating monster movement positions is necessary.
Build a strategy that combines skills and movements to attack and defend yourself from enemies: anticipating the movement and attack patterns of every monster is key to your survival
Select a hero from 3 distinct characters, each with 20+ available skills that can be upgraded multiple times
With 20+ enhancement effects, 20+ potions, and 40+ relics, forge your combat style through combinations
After you finish a layer, the Blacksmith, the Angel and the Black Marketeer will bring you different items to help you on your journey. But sometimes you’ll have to sacrifice something in exchange for their boons…
