About This Game

Sparked by rumours of a wondrous treasure located somewhere over the hills, in the treacherous ravines beyond. You begin your adventure in search of "the mythical artifact". An object able to grant the holder untold power. You must explore the perilous terrain of the ravines to collect treasures to power yourself up, while defending yourself from dangerous foes along the way. Best of luck to you, brave adventurer.

Ravyne is a roguelike game that takes design inspiration from the classic roguelikes of the 80s. Designed to emulate the style of games like Rogue, it runs entirely in the Windows console, and uses text based graphics. However, unlike those classic dungeon crawling roguelikes, Ravyne takes place in a randomly generated overworld, instead of an underground dungeon. In Ravyne you are able to explore more natural looking terrain, and even dig through it when necessary.

Ravyne is a love letter to old-school roguelikes, stripped down to the essentials and focused on tactical decision-making, exploration, and that addictive "one more run" loop. The minimalist design might throw some people off at first, but once you understand what it’s going for, it really shines. The randomly generated maps keep every playthrough fresh, and there’s a surprising amount of depth in how you approach each encounter. It rewards patience, positioning, and risk-taking in all the right ways. No hand-holding, no flashy fluff — just you, the grid, and whatever fate has waiting around the corner. It’s brutal, but fair. That said, Ravyne definitely leans into its retro charm hard. If you’re not into classic ASCII-style or grid-based tactics, it might not click with you. But if you're a fan of the genre, this is a hidden gem worth your time. 8/10 – A tough, nostalgic trek into procedural chaos. For roguelike purists and dungeon crawlers alike.
