About

Mazor

Features
Read full description

The maze never changes. You do. Mazor is a pocket roguelike where every floor is fixed: learn its halls, treasures and traps, and your next descent starts with a real edge. Your knowledge is your best upgrade. Your health is a candle: it never regenerates. Every fight, every detour burns light. Do you take the elite guarding a new skill — or run for the stairs while the flame still holds? YOUR BUILD FIGHTS FOR YOU Combat is automatic — your decisions happen before it. Skills fire on triggers: at combat start, on critical hits, on dodges, on kills. Fire spreads, frost makes enemies brittle, shields swallow blows, blades answer back. Five skill families, countless combinations — and fire melts frost, so pick a side. EVERY DEATH PAYS FORWARD All gold banks to your permanent hoard — every run is a real attempt, never farming. Buy lasting upgrades, unlock new characters, and push your best mark one floor deeper. THE DAILY DELVE Once a day: a fresh maze, identical for everyone. One attempt, one leaderboard, one excuse to gloat. • A fixed, learnable maze — knowledge is progression • Automatic combat driven by your build • Elites guard new skills, bosses hoard relics • Permanent progression: upgrades and five characters • Daily Delve with a global leaderboard • Fully localized in English and German • No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required The maze remembers. Do you?
