About this game
Every night you are haunted by visions of your death in ancient ruins to hordes of nightmare creatures . The NEXUS, a Hyper-Dimensional Holy Ruin , barrages Dreamers with such visions for years until the nightmares drive them into a mad frenzy . Seeking to avoid this fate and having learned of these stories, you've hunted down an entrance to the ruins; a rift into the back-stage of reality from which there is no return . However you've also learned of another story. It is said that from The NEXUS one can access Transcendental Planes of Reality, and that a pilgrimage to the Gods would grant you the ancient secrets of these ruins. It feels like like you've stood here among the ruins before, all those battles in your dreams... preparing you for the real challenge ahead. The time is now to steel yourself and ENTER THE NEXUS! Your Experience Points and Skills are not the only things that survive beyond death in Shadowcrawl. Elements of your game world can also be changed in permanent ways that will persist between playthroughs, and some of them even between save files! Completing quests permanently adds new weapons, armor, and enemies to the game . Unleashing secret mini-bosses and allowing increasingly powerful loot to appear in Gold Chests. Some quests even replace entire groups of enemies with stronger overpowered ones for the ultimate difficulty spike. Aid Miya the Blood Knight in exterminating the Goblins and you will only succeed in unleashing their true form as all Goblins in your game world are forever replaced by the mighty Orcs! This can be done with every enemy set in the game. Shadowcrawl is not your standard Roguelike, with quests, cults, factions, multiple endings, unlockable enemies, hidden game modes, secret levels & more! We've taken the classic 80's "Free-Turn" roguelike formula and updated it with modern game design lessons to add layers of depth as well as shift the gameplay focus towards player skill. Because of this, Shadowcrawl is less about luck or collecting loot than it is about strategy. As you accumulate perks and abilities your character will take on traits that let them adapt more effectively to different features of the maze generator.…
