About the Game

About Thieves

About Thieves is an old-school, first-person dungeon crawler with real-time combat and grid-based movement. Descend through festering sewers, abandoned ruins, and royal dungeons, and loot every corner of them. Gold is experience, and secrets are everywhere. The more you steal, the stronger you get.

Features:

  • Exploration-driven progression: Your main source of XP is treasure. Hunt for secrets, crack open hidden rooms, and fill your pockets. Every coin counts.

  • Real-time grid-based combat: Classic dungeon crawling feel with fast, demanding fights against slimes, giant worms, corrupted Ratkins and worse.

  • Six playable classes with a rogue twist: Forget paladins and wizards. Here, the warrior is a guild strongman, the healer is a shady plague doctor, and the mage is a street illusionist with a knife up her sleeve. Classic fantasy archetypes, reimagined for a crew of thieves.

  • A story bigger than a heist: You went in for the gold. You might just save the entire province. Against your will.

The king hasn't left his castle in months. The people of Ashad are hungry. Someone has to do something, it might as well be someone who gets paid...
