~dvngeon

~dvngeon is a pixel-art survivors-style action RPG that runs in the browser. Survive. Slay. Snack.

Every run starts in Hearthmere, a small walled town with a market, a smithy, a tavern and a man in the stocks. From the Wayfarers’ Gate you choose one of nine regions, from the Alderwake Wilds to the Crown of Ash. An expedition lasts six minutes, one wave per minute, and then the boss arrives.

Your weapons fire on their own. You keep moving, collect gems, and pick an upgrade at each level until the build either holds or doesn’t. Gold you bring home buys permanent boons at the Hearth Shrine. Ingredients go to the tavern cook, who turns them into oddly named dishes and sells them for more gold.

The game is still in progress. Balance changes often, and parts of the town are still behind “coming soon” signs.
