A pure, dark retro dungeon crawl This game is drowning in atmosphere. Straight out of the gate, you find yourself in a DARK dungeon, with only your torch for light. Until playing this, I didn't recognize how light most dungeon crawls actually are. In true ARPG style, creatures come at you almost immediately. This game reminds me of a 3D version of Diablo 1. If you remember, back then you were actually dependent on your light radius to see. One big difference between this and Diablo 1 is that there is absolutely NO inventory management system. As far as I can tell, all resources are gathered and stored between plays. These resources can be used to buy upgrades to your equipment and even your person at the beginning of each level. So far, two levels are available. There are still some bugs that I notice in the game but it looks like the developer is busy getting rid of them and adding more content.

About This Game
The flickering torchlight and cold steel in your hand are your only defenses against the total, devouring darkness that surrounds you.
You will know the true meaning of fear as you hear the cries of twisted abominations encircling you in the inky blackness. Your only hope is to collect and call on the unearthly powers of the Deck and to become an unstoppable force.
You are an artifact hunter, a seeker and purveyor of rare, magical relics. Your profession takes you into some of the darkest and most dangerous recesses of existence. The ultimate goal of your search is the fabled Deck of Darkness, an incredibly potent arcane artifact said to grant it's bearer immortality… for a price. Survive long enough and you will face your terrifying destiny in the dungeon's darkest depths.
Deck of Darkness: Infernal Depths is an atmospheric, retro, dark fantasy horror action role-playing game. Think one part 3D Diablo, one part Hexen, and one part Nethack and all old-school dungeon crawl with crunchy, pixel-art graphics. Being a roguelike dungeon crawler, every playthrough will be unique. Each level has it's own theme and monsters, which become more fearsome as you go deeper. Make it to the lowest level of the dungeon and face your terrifying destiny.
Most dungeon crawlers are brightly lit cakewalks compared to this one. Luckily, the powers of the Deck will make you a formidable foe indeed.

Damn, this game is scary. Lots of games claim to be "grimdark," but this one actually lives up to it. Enemies come at you quickly from the darkness. It's unnerving to hear them approaching from all around you. The abilities you get from cards are powerful. Of the handful I've tried, I like shadow (lifesteal) and lunge which gives you a powerful dashing attack that liquifies enemies. You get lots if control over character development. Though it's in early access, seems like it's off to a promising start.
Spooky AF!!!! I love it, great game!
