You are one piece on a dungeon floor — and every enemy shows you its next move.
WARDEN is a turn-based tactics roguelite with zero randomness in combat. No dice, no misses, no unfair deaths. Read the telegraphs, pick your tile, and outthink the dungeon one turn at a time. When you die — and you will — it was your fault. That's the point.
TWO DESCENTS, TWO RULERS
Hold the last Lights through the original ten-floor First Descent, then enter the Rootbound Deep: a separate ten-chamber campaign in a drowned, overgrown dungeon that remembers how you moved. Each journey has its own rooms, enemies, upgrades and final ruler.
HOLD THE LIGHTS
The dead don't march on you. Each chamber holds two soul-Lights — cyan flames the horde is coming to snuff — and you are the only thing that can stand between. Capture, shove and body-block. Lose every Light and the run ends. No hiding, no kiting, no waiting it out: the dungeon makes you fight for something.
REWRITE HOW YOU MOVE
Every room you clear offers a choice that changes how you play. In First Descent, mutate your movement and combat. In Rootbound, choose between Lantern, Iron and Ash Relics that preserve, redirect or erase consequences. By the final chamber, you are playing a piece that has never existed before.
THE DEEP REMEMBERS
Face the Rootbinder, which replays your route as roots; the Echo, which copies your last movement; and the shielded Graveshell. Cross Root Halls, a Drowned Vault, the Ash Foundry and the Hollow Throne, then break the Hollow King's crown and find the opening in his guard.
FACE THE BONE TYRANT
The First Descent remains a complete tactical trial. Learn its watchers, defend both Lights and read the Tyrant's three-beat Advance, Strike and Recover cycle. His court is tougher now, but the rules are taught before the fight.
ONE DUNGEON A DAY, SHARED
The Daily Descent gives everyone the same dungeon and one attempt. Share your spoiler-free result ribbon, keep your streak alive and make your friends keep pace.
