About the Game

Minato combines classic minesweeper with roguelike elements. Choose from classes with unique abilities, uncover powerful items, and face levels with unexpected twists. Take on challenges, adapt your strategy, and master every run.

Multiple classes

Start each run by choosing a class with its Artifact, items with unique abilities.
Manage its charges, upgrade it and unleash its power when necessary.
Every class offers a new way to play to master.

Item combinations

Discover consumables to power yourself up and relics that will change the course of a run.
Discover new combinations every run to progress with ease.

Curses and guardians

A guardian awaits before you can proceed to the next floor. Its curses will distort the rules of the game: limited visibility, empty cells, random numbers.
Put your ability to adapt to the test in every situation.

Classic gameplay, no rush

Despite the myriad of additions, Minato stays true to its roots. There's no rush: only focus, patience, and the small thrill of uncovering every level cell by cell. Whether you prefer to complete a level quickly or focus on using as few clicks as possible, every playstyle is rewarded.
