About the Game

Realm of the Ghost King is a quick-play roguelike where you must battle your way through eight randomly generated dungeons to defeat the Ghost King and become the new king of the realm.



Select from twelve unlockable characters, each with their own unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. You must manage your resources, strengthen your character and rely on your choices to get through each level. ​ Use bombs to defeat enemies and get to hidden power-ups. Just don't make the wrong choices because death is permanent.

  • It's a quick-play Roguelike! All the turn-based, randomly generated, perma-death, and monster battling that you love but designed to allow for quicker play sessions.
  • Randomly generated dungeons ensure no two playthroughs are ever the same.
  • The Daily Challenge, which lets you compare your run to other players. Everyone plays the same set of levels and you have 24 hours to play, but you only get one shot. See how you stack up on the leaderboards.
  • Hopefully awesome pixel art if you're into that sort of thing.
  • Secrets! Lots of items and places to discover and unlock.
