About This Game

Darkest Mine is a roguelite action-plateformer featuring some RPG elements and played in 20-minutes-long runs.

Dive down 5 depth levels made of 10 rooms each. You must clear a room entirely before progressing to the next one, until you reach the depth level's boss.

Every 3 rooms, you get a pick from more than 100 different abilities, each one affecting your gamleplay in a specific way.

4 weapons are available, providing 4 completely unique playstyles for your runs.

With the gold nuggets you will collect through your runs, you can purchase permanent upgrades at the blacksmith

Local co-op and Steam Play Together are both available if you want to add a 2nd player to the run.
