Overcome a series of challenging stages in this roguelite horde survival game by developing your power with spells across many different dimensions, including items, upgrades, talents, and more that interact with each other to produce many unique and powerful builds.
SURVIVE, EXPLORE, and ASCEND TO POWER
Crucible of the Forgotten combines the moment-to-moment tactical gameplay of horde survival roguelites with the depth of build crafting found in classic ARPGs and strategic evolution of the player character over a much shorter period of time. With special attention on unique mechanical interactions rather then simply combining numerical attributes, you will need to experiment and plan your strategies to succeed.
You will rapidly gain power through your choices, defining your build as you progress through the stages in the game, with sessions taking anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR BUILD
Choose from among dozens of options on character levels, spell upgrades, talents, items, resource usage, and more to build your character the way you want. Unlock meta progression choices to further customize your play style.
CHALLENGE MIGHTY BOSSES
At the end of most stages, face off against powerful bosses that will test your skill and push your build to its limits.
