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?

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.

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:

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
