About the Game

"Dark Ranger" is a light roguelike strategy RPG.

Play as a middle- aged, retired knight who returns to the battlefield for one last chance at glory. Weapons switch automatically based on distance—daggers for close combat, spears for reach, axes for sweeping attacks.

Skills are formed by chaining stance cards into combos: like [Turn + Turn + Sword] to unleash Whirlwind Slash, or [Advance + Retreat + Spear] for a deadly counter. Tactical positioning and adaptation are key.
