Build the company. Descend into the dark. Bring back whoever survives. Stonegate: The Mad Baron is a party-based first-person dungeon crawler inspired by the deliberate exploration, dangerous expeditions, and hard-earned victories of classic role-playing games. Recruit and organize a company of six adventurers. Equip fighters, thieves, priests, mages, and rare elite classes. Explore hand-authored dungeon floors, uncover secret doors, survive traps, manage limited healing and magic, and decide when your wounded party should turn for home. New to Stonegate? A guided first journey helps you prepare your company, find your way, survive your first battle, and return safely to town. FEATURES • Build and manage a party of six adventurers • Explore six distinct depths in The Mad Baron campaign • Continue into three additional depths with the optional Salt Crypts expansion • Fight tactical, turn-based battles against grouped enemies • Discover secret doors, treasure chambers, traps, and authored encounters • Equip weapons, armor, and shields with clear comparisons • Develop fighters, spellcasters, scouts, and elite classes • Return to Stonegate to rest, recruit, trade, heal, and prepare • Face unique guardians and discover routes that can change an expedition • Carry one party across iPhone and iPad with private iCloud saves • No ads, no consumable currency, and no pay-to-win Every expedition is a decision between ambition and survival. Push deeper for greater rewards, or begin the long homeward march before the dungeon takes another member of the company.
