Gravehoard: Roguelike RPG

Everything buried wants to stay that way.

Gravehoard is a turn-based fantasy roguelike built on the loot chase. It keeps everything the classic roguelikes had — the depth, the danger, a dungeon that's never the same twice — and drops the homework: nothing to memorize, controls made for one thumb, and a game that saves itself. Nothing moves until you do, so a fight waits while you think — or while you get off the bus.

The upper barrow is free forever — ten of the twenty floors, four of the ten classes, and an ending of its own. One purchase opens the lower barrow, the other six classes, and the crown on every iPhone, iPad and Mac you own, Family Sharing included — and your run syncs between them automatically. No ads, no subscription, no energy timers, no currency.

DESCEND
Every run generates a fresh barrow — twenty floors of worked stone, natural caverns, great halls and looping tangles, with water to wade, secret doors to find, and rooms that were built for something. Floors stay as you left them, so you can always climb back.

TAKE WHAT GLITTERS
Gear is unidentified when you find it. A ring might be a fortune or a curse that welds itself to your finger, and the two look alike until you dare to put it on. Read a scroll, pay the Sage, or risk it.

• 60 weapons, 50 pieces of armor across five slots, 81 rings and amulets
• 93 modifiers — Flaming, of Warding, of the Ram — and any can land on anything you find
• Five grades of craftsmanship: a crude blade can shatter mid-swing, a masterwork never will
• 139 named legendaries, the best of them with a flaw to match
• 9 matched sets that pay off when complete

None of it is a flat stat bump: weapons drain and burn and bite, and armor throws the damage back.

PICK A LIFE
Ten classes that genuinely play differently — a rogue who stabs out of the dark, a wizard and a cleric drawing on separate schools of magic, a beastmaster who tames what they meet and takes it along, a grave robber who wears cursed gear and takes it off again. Four are free; the other six come with the full game.
