Dungeon Descent [DEMO]

There is a legend about a dungeon that is filled with treasure, monsters, and powerful protectors. The dungeon is never the same for anyone who enters. Legend says that it changes and moves, that it holds a special power, and that it leads to the one thing the adventurer desires most, but legend also says once you go into the dungeon you cannot leave. Not even death is an escape.

Dungeon Descent is a Hack N' Slash, Roguelite, RPG with fast, fluid combat and movement.

Rougelite means that means each play through will be unique. The dungeon will never look the same as it did before! You will get different weapons, armor, commands, and perks every game! Death will force a restart on your progression through the dungeon, but you can permanently upgrade your character with the souls you collect from the enemies to help you get further within the dungeon.

I want the game on all platforms, but can only do that if I get funding through this Kickstarter!

Combat is very inspired by "Kingdom Hearts 2" and "Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep". I am a huge fan of those games, and I really want to make the combat in this game feel as good as the combat in those games. With the weight and speed of KH2, but the depth and the fun of KH:BBS. I think I have a great start that can be easily built from and improved over the course of development.

Weapons are gained throughout your journey. There are seven types of weapons in the game (Normal Sword, Spear, Greatsword, Hammer/Axe, Magic Wand, Duel Knives/Axes, and Chakrams)! Each with their own unique combos and power mode special.

You find commands in chests like weapons and armor. They are attacks that you can through into a combo. They deal extra damage and can do an area of effect. Some get better depending on your equipped weapon but some might not even be available. Ex: Fire, Lightning, and Blizzard do extra damage with the Magic Wand type but it cannot use commands like Slide dash and Blitz. You also have a set amount of Command Points (CP) that can increase with permanent upgrades or perks, but limit the total of commands you can have in deck.

You also have a power meter. This fills up with kills and once full you can unleash power mode. Power mode increases damage, attack speed, and has special powers depending on your weapon type. Ex: Normal Swords get two demon swords that attack with you (shown below), Spears get blasts of energy that shoot out with every attack, Greatswords summon rock pillars that damage far and around the player, etc.

Armor are gained throughout your journey just like weapons. They give a special bar around your health which helps negate incoming damage, but each piece of armor has durability and will break if too much damage is received.

Perks are extra powers you get from item rooms and very rare chests. They can increase stats or give effects to your player. Ex: Extra speed, Faster command cooldown, Combo finisher effects, etc.

The game features four modes!

The main game mode, which is the roguelite gameplay where you must complete all 7 levels of the dungeon, each getting drastically larger and harder, and face the final boss. Each playthrough is unique and challenging. The dungeon will never be the same as it was before.

A secondary game mode where you fight off waves and waves of enemies until you die. Each wave will get harder and you will get chests after each wave to help you survive. You gain souls here and can use them to upgrade your character permanently which carry over to all other game modes.

A game mode that allows you to reface beaten bosses in their ultimate form. They are the true challenge of the game.

Go through the entire story game mode with a friend! Will support split-screen, local, and online co-op! You still get your permanent upgrades, but the gameplay will be drastically harder to accommodate for the extra help.
