Hexkeep is not your average match-3 game. It's a roguelite Match-3 RPG where the board is your weapon: match tiles to strike enemies, cast spells, loot rare gear and buy powerful items, then climb a cursed wizard's tower ruled by deities from Turkish mythology. Every run is a gamble. Match three to attack, chain bigger combos to hit harder, and pray the curse tiles don't bury you before the boss does. The board fights back This is no calm match-3 puzzle. Matches are attacks, fusions and spells. Read the board, line up your chains, and end the fight before it ends you. Borrow the power of gods Strike a pact with deities pulled from Turkish myth. Each one bends the rules of your run a different way, so no two climbs feel the same. Die, learn, climb again A true roguelite: death ends the run and drops you back at the foot of the tower. You come back smarter, with new gear, new spells and a score to settle. Spells, curses and dark bargains Hurl spells across the grid, shatter curse tiles before they spread, or twist that dark magic into a weapon of your own. Loot, gold and a shifty merchant Tear weapons, gems and rare relics from your enemies, then haggle with the merchant until your build breaks the game. A tower with teeth Fight through cursed dungeons and distant regions, dig up secrets, and topple the bosses guarding the floors above. If match-3, roguelike runs and real RPG loot are your thing, Hexkeep will eat your evenings. Climb the tower. Cheat death. Beat the gods.

Kosmic Dungeon is an idle RPG: build a kingdom, collect a small army of heroes, and raid dungeons in turn-based fights you can actually read. Your city keeps producing while you're away — log back in and collect what you earned. Part of the Dungeon gaming ecosystem. Play free with no wallet required. WORLD THAT REMEMBERS Every player fights across the same map. A corruption spreads hex by hex, and any commander can send a squad to push it back. Your idle sessions aren't happening in a bubble — you're shaping one shared world alongside everyone else playing right now. BUILD YOUR CITY Raise a kingdom from a handful of huts: a market, a barracks, a forge, a gem mine, and dozens more buildings, each with its own production curve and upgrade path. Every building you level makes your heroes stronger in a real, visible way — not a cosmetic skin. COMMAND 27 HEROES Recruit, level, and fuse a growing roster across seven ancestries and a dozen-plus classes — Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Cleric, Wizard, Barbarian, Druid, Monk, and hybrid classes that blend two disciplines into one. Gear them out with forged and enchanted equipment, build skill trees, and unlock mastery bonuses as they grow. TURN-BASED COMBAT, NO GUESSWORK Fights play out turn by turn so you can actually read what's happening — no random real-time flailing. Send squads on dungeon crawls with a bank-or-push decision on every floor: pull out with what you've got, or push one room deeper for a bigger haul. HONEST ODDS Every summon rate is printed on screen before you pull. No hidden tables, no fake near-misses, no countdown pressure on purchases. If you don't like the number, don't pull — you'll always know exactly what you're buying. EVEN MORE TO DO Hatch and raise dragons and pets to fight alongside your squad. Join a guild, fight in the arena, forge gear sets, chase achievements, and keep your kingdom producing while you're away — log back in and collect what you earned. OPTIONAL PURCHASES Extra build-queue slots, a second research slot, additional squads and hero packs are sold separately through in-app purchases. You see the price in your local App Store currency before you confirm. PART OF DUNGEON The wider Dungeon ecosystem includes Dungeon Wallet, a token exchange and an NFT marketplace. This App Store edition uses in-app purchases and does not include those blockchain tools. It's a solo-built game and it's rough in a few corners. If something looks wrong or a number doesn't add up, tell us — that's worth more than a five-star review that doesn't say why.
