About the Game

Ghoul Thrasher is a dismal dark fantasy dungeon crawler. An 8-bit, retro, roguelike quest through a decrepit dungeon, deep and dangerous. Survive the corrupted Citadel Sinystera, battling through randomly generated rooms, riddled with horrifying monsters and deadly traps. Step into the soggy greaves of Gnargoth, a humble peasant with nothing to lose and everything to fight for. 

Ghoul Thrasher is an old-school, tabletop inspired solo-rpg, your journey depends upon the dice, crits and failures will determine your fate. It is packed with brutal 8-bit pixel art, inspired by retro horror and table top fantasy. Featuring guest art from master of psychedelic horror, SKINNER.

Battle through 6 levels of ghouls, beasts, cultists, traps, gamblers, alchemists, and oddities before taking on the final boss, the wretched, repulsive Vermintrilloquist!

Rock out to the chiptune soundtrack featuring doom metal inspired dirges and spooky square wave synthscapes. And search the dungeon for a special chiptune appearance by fantasy metal band, Castle Rat.

'Pick up and play' gameplay style, finish a successful run in around 30 minutes. Delve into randomly generated, door bashing adventure, with two difficulty settings and unlimited replayability.

Can you survive the Citadel?
