Devil Spire: The hardcore first-person roguelite dungeon crawler

Hee hoo! I'm Ithiro, and for over a year I've been working on this passion project of mine together with my best friends:

It's a hardcore first-person pseudo-3D roguelite action RPG dungeon crawler stylized after retro PC games, inspired by classics like King's Field and Heretic.

My design philosophy for it was a slower-paced game which rewards strategy, adaptability and self-control more than just quick reflexes, kinda like the Souls series (at least in the first few entries). It has lots of neat stuff like hand-drawn and animated enemy sprites, different game modes; tons of unique weapons, spells, special powers and enchantments; and more! With a focus on solid gameplay, it gets progressively more fun as you learn all its mechanics, secrets and form your own broken strats and experiment around, discovering things yourself!


Other highlights include fully customizeable, dynamic character portraits including exotic races; a dark, opressive atmosphere with some cryptic lore; gigantic low-poly bosses; real RPG mechanics that make you FEEL your character's stats; and a kick button!

I'd love it if you guys checked out the demo and wishlisted it:

Thanks for your attention!

This looks pretty cool.  I'm a big fan of both King's Field and Heretic.  I look forward to trying it out when I can.

Thanks! The game is a big melting pot of influences, really. You can see a lot of Daggerfall, Dark Messiah and the Souls series in it too.

But overall, I'd say the most accurate description of it would be Roguelite King's Field, haha.
