12 itemsAbout the Game
Set in a grim dark fantasy universe ravaged by an insidious plague, you build and manage a party of survivors and specialized hunters.
Gameplay Features:
Procedurally generated runs: Randomized levels and encounters ensure replayability—no two playthroughs are the same.
Turn-based combat: Battle grotesque, twisted foes and massive bosses using strategic party management and potent perks.
Shrines and risks: Gamble for powerful boons or risk curses to gain an edge.
Leveling up: Enhance your Survivors and Hunters by leveling them up and outfitting them with potent perks unearthed throughout the plague-infested world, as you wage a relentless battle against the encroaching scourge across the forsaken lands.
Build the farm: Scour the plague-ravaged world for lost characters to recruit, who will erect vital buildings at your forsaken farm—then upgrade them to unlock devastating new skills for your survivors and hunters in the heat of battle.
Conquer the Plague Universe with the Plague Pass: Level up across Plague Hunters and SkullPirates to unlock powerful Hunters playable in both games.
Plague Road Rebirth: Traverse the reborn Plague Road, a remake brimming with savage new bosses, deep leveling mechanics, and every coveted upgrade from the original game.
Iron Path: Board the ironclad doom-train of the Iron Path—a merciless endgame crucible where level 20 is your bare minimum for survival. Conquer virgin territories in pure roguelike fury: permadeath hurls you back to the abyss upon defeat, while recruiting the brutal Routiers, your third lethal party faction.
