Duck and delve to survive the hordes!
Delve Survivors’ cool retro aesthetic is paired with classic challenges and remarkable depth for hours of engrossing gameplay!
Its turn-based combat presentation, with survivor-style action, allows players to control the pace of battles while facing large groups of enemies. Descend into perilous dungeons, battle relentless enemy hordes, and face unpredictable dangers around every corner. Hunt for loot, customise your build, and fight to survive! Every move advances time in a strategic, grid-based combat system where you’ll unlock powerful skills, abilities, summons, devastating area attacks, and status effects to shape your game. With procedurally generated dungeons, unpredictable environments, and randomised loot, every run brings a new challenge!
Watch the game unfold!
Explore nine main dungeons, each featuring unique environments, enemy types, elite encounters and bosses! Once you’ve completed the main mode, the bravest warriors can then progress to The Abyss, a challenging 100-floor endgame dungeon. Delve Survivors offers three difficulty and progression modes, each providing a different approach to death and character progression. A Town Hub serves as the central progression area, where players can upgrade equipment, improve character stats, purchase supplies and prepare for future expeditions. Designed as a single-player experience, the game focuses on solo dungeon exploration, strategic combat and long-term character development.
Every action advances time, giving players the freedom to approach encounters methodically or dive directly into the chaos.
Choose Your Own Roguelike Experience
You can shape your own adventure to suit your preferred level of challenge, whether you’re looking for a chilled-out quest or a full-on odyssey. There are three distinct game modes, offering different approaches to risk and progression:
- Casual Mode provides a more forgiving experience, allowing players to retain their loot and world progression upon death.
- Casual Rogue introduces roguelite elements, resetting dungeon progress upon death while preserving collected equipment.
- Hardcore Mode delivers the ultimate roguelike challenge, where death comes at a steep cost: all loot and progression are lost.
You decide how much risk you're willing to take.
Delve Survivors offers a unique experience for every kind of adventurer. Explore without fear in Casual, embrace the cycle of risk and reward in Casual Rogue, or put everything on the line in Hardcore. Whether you seek relaxed exploration or the ultimate test of survival, the choice is yours. How far will you dare to delve?
