About the Game

Follow Dalian is a pixel-art Action Roguelike born from a love for pure combat fun. We offer you two things: first, the adrenaline-pumping satisfaction of visceral hack-and-slash combat; and second, the endlessly addictive loop of deep loot grinding and build-crafting that fuels it.

Every run is a perfect fusion of your off-battle strategy and in-the-moment adaptation.

KEY FEATURES

  • Satisfying Carnage: Combat is Everything
    Experience combat in its purest form. Unleash devastating skills upon tides of enemies flooding your screen. We've obsessed over the impact, sound, and visual feedback of every strike, ensuring each battle is a glorious, stress-relieving spectacle of destruction.

  • Loot-Driven Progression: Every Drop Matters
    The hunger for power is fed by the hunt for better loot. Defeat powerful foes and conquer challenges to amass a vast arsenal of equipment, weapons, tactical items, and unique, evolving relics. From common to legendary, each new piece of gear could be the cornerstone of your next great build.

  • Off-Run Strategy: Your Build Laboratory
    The battle begins before you even enter the dungeon. In your stash, you are the master builder. Mix and match from 6 weapon classes, a massive library of gear, a rich pool of items, and unlocked skills to meticulously craft your starting loadout. Will you become a whirlwind of destruction, crushing legions with wide-sweeping hammer strikes and explosive AOE spells? Or a phantom archer, kiting enemies from afar with devastating ranged attacks? Or perhaps a master summoner, overwhelming the battlefield with an army of loyal minions while you command from a safe distance? Your imagination is the only limit here.

  • In-Run Evolution: The Joy of Adaptation
    Once on the battlefield, every level-up brings a "choose-one-of-three" skill upgrade. Will you learn a new ability or morph an existing one with game-changing effects? Adapt to the weapons and relics you find on the fly, evolving your build into its ultimate form to face the final challenge.

  • Test Your Might: The Ultimate Build Check
    Unique elites and bosses with spectacular bullet-hell patterns are the final exam for your creation. Only by perfectly combining your off-run preparation with in-run evolution—and a healthy dose of skill—will you conquer these formidable adversaries.
