About This Game



Traverse dark dungeons and face horrible foes in this roguelite twin-stick dungeon crawler where magic can be combined into devastating forces. Can you line up the perfect spell sequence to produce a powerful Meteor or a deadly Thunderstorm?

Select your favorite class, or try out new ones

In each playthrough you play as a unique class, that has a different set of stats, basic spells, combos and upgrades. Select from various classes such as the powerful Sorcerer or the fiery hybrid warrior Ember Knight.

Engage in action-packed dynamic combat

Combine abilities into powerful attacks - for instance, the Fireball and Shield turns into a Fire Shield, while the Fireball and Arcane Sphere turns into the Fire Globe. Add another Fireball, and you fire off a devastating Meteor:

Explore Margoq's devious lair with endless replayability

Find your way out of a procedurally generated lair filled with deadly traps & horrifying monsters by completing the procedurally generated quests to unlock the door to the next floor. Every floor is randomly cursed by Margoq. This means that each floor is a unique combination of level layout, curse, and quest, ensuring that you never play the same level twice!

Upgrade your character with Blood Perks

Find blood circles that empower your character with procedurally generated Blood Perks, which makes your character powerful, in a unique way in every playthrough.

Find tons of mythical loot to become a powerhouse

Slay monsters, break vases, or find your way to many hidden treasure chests in the depths of the lair, where you can find procedurally generated mythical loot that makes you even more powerful.

Encounter epic boss battles

Throughout the lair, you'll meet difficult boss encounters that need to be defeated before you can continue. All of whom are powerful lieutenants of Margoq, and of course, the demonic wizard himself. They will pose a great challenge for anyone in their path.

Random elite and super elite monsters

It's not just the bigger boss fights that might be difficult for the adventurers. All minions in the lair can be an elite or super elite version of themselves, posing great risks to anyone not giving them the proper respect.

Permadeath and metaprogression power system

Every death in Margoq's Lair is permanent; however, you earn souls during each run which can be used to gain permanent perks and unlock additional content such as new classes, making you progressively more powerful and the gameplay progessively more varied.

Story

You are imprisoned by the malevolent wizard Margoq. You wake up on the lowest floor in his dungeon, and your quest is to escape the depths of the dungeon before Margoq takes over the world.

This game is the Danish Noita. Use a combination of skills and obtain items to become stronger. You must use magic spells and clear the room while controlling your distance from enemies. Don't allow it to come close! Detect deception and bring light to dark dens. It is only when you are trapped in a truly unfavorable situation that your true skills are revealed.

I would realllllly like to recommend this game. It has a very interesting and intuitive magic system that fits together really well with the passive abilities to make for amazing synergies. All of that said, there are two game-breaking bugs that combine to make this extremely frustrating in its current state. On three different runs I have gotten to a level where enemies don't drop their souls and items trigger their drop sound effect but they don't appear. This would not even be a problem except that you are required to get souls to open the door to the next level. Every time this happens, it locks me from beating that level. So I quit to the menu and then load back into the run, which causes the second bug: Upon loading your maximum energy resets to 10. It completely ignores any upgrades you have gotten from souls, or through other means. Generally it cuts your energy in half, in a game where successive combinations of skills are crucial to be effective, and energy is the limi...

Nice fun little game. Many fun combos to explore, perks to pick, and the map changed after every respawn so it never goes stale.

I've been following the development and this is a game worth a try if you're into action roguelites. The spell combo system is great when you get the hang of it.

Challenging game that is really well made, both gameplay and visually (espcially if you're into old-school top down 2D graphics). I've yet to explore the combos fully, but it feels like there is a lot of depth.

Control system is fundamentally flawed. Combo casting is horrifically janky.
