Iron Descent is a classic roguelike dungeon crawler for your pocket. Every run drops you into a freshly generated labyrinth where one wrong step can end everything. Choose your hero. Descend into the dark. See how deep you can go. **CHOOSE YOUR CLASS** Three heroes, three ways to play: • Warrior - heavy armor, heavy hits. Wade into the fray and outlast anything. • Rogue - fast, deadly, and dripping with poison. Dual-wield your way through the horde. • Mage - bend the dungeon to your will with a spell book of destruction, restoring mana with every kill. **DESCEND 10 DEADLY FLOORS** The dungeon is never the same twice. Rooms, corridors, traps, and treasure are procedurally generated every run, so no two descents play alike. Explore by torchlight, reveal the map one tile at a time, and never trust an empty room. **FIGHT - OR DIE** Orcs, trolls, goblins, rats, and worse prowl the depths, each with its own behavior. Some hunt you the moment they catch your scent; others lie in wait. That chest in the corner? It might have teeth. Face down the Orc Warlord at the dungeon's midpoint and the Demon Lord waiting at the very bottom. **LOOT, GEAR, AND GLORY** Crack open chests, gather gold, and equip weapons, armor, and rings suited to your class. Sip potions, read scrolls, and pray at shrines for a blessing - or a curse. Every upgrade is another step toward surviving the descent. **RETURN TO TOWN** Between runs, regroup in town. Shop for fresh gear, pay the healer to patch your wounds, and take on quests from the board for extra gold and glory. Then it's back down into the dark. **CLAIM THE DARK CRYSTAL** Deep beneath the earth lies the Dark Crystal. Reach it, seize it, and carry it back to town alive to claim victory. Few will make it. Will you? **FEATURES** • Three distinct classes with unique playstyles • 10 procedurally generated floors - endless replayability • Two epic boss battles • Traps, mimics, shrines, and hidden loot • A hub town with a shop, healer, and quest board • Striking retro dungeon visuals and an atmospheric original soundtrack • Save and continue your run anytime • Fully playable offline Grab a torch. Draw your blade. The descent begins.

Read full description

A proper old-school roguelike you can play anywhere - no internet required. You are the "@". Descend into a labyrinth that is newly generated every run, fight what lives there, gather what you can carry, and push for the depths. If you fall, that is the end of the run - start again from the top. That tension is the whole point. [FEATURES] - Fully offline. Install it once and play anywhere, anytime - Defeat enemies to level up; enchant your weapon and armor to grow stronger - A 12-slot pack. Drink, read, throw, equip, identify - every item is a decision - Beware cursed gear: put it on and you may not be able to take it off - Hunger matters. Run out of food and your HP drains away - Blunder into a Monster House and a whole room of enemies wakes up at once - Thumb-friendly D-pad controls, built for phones - Autosave. Stop any time and pick up exactly where you left off [TWO DUNGEONS] - Normal Dungeon: ten floors down to the legendary Amulet. A run you can finish in one sitting. - 99-Floor Dungeon (paid): a long descent toward B99. Rings with permanent effects, plus rare weapons and armor, appear only here. Play it in a spare minute or settle in for a long run - however you like.
