Trapped by a cursed artifact, you must survive an ever-changing dungeon in this fast-paced roguelike runner. Harness powerful magic, defeat enemies, dodge traps, and battle bosses. Die, revive, and grow stronger with permanent upgrades. Can you escape the dungeon's eternal cycle?
Curse of the Magician
SteamDive deep into a labyrinth that never stays the same. A fast-paced roguelike endless runner where magic is your only weapon and escape is your only goal. You are an ambitious dungeon diver in search of the legendary artifact of a long-forgotten magician. But legends often leave out critical details, this artifact carries a curse. While granting you limitless magical power, it binds you to the dungeon, forcing you to live, and die, within its ever-shifting walls.
Every death brings rebirth, but the curse won’t break easily. Each time you fall, you awaken at the heart of the artifact room, ready to try again, armed only with your chosen magic. Fireballs, acid shots, and more are at your disposal, but the dungeon's dangers grow with every step. Can you survive the endless waves of traps, enemies, and bosses, or will you fall to the curse forever?
Key Features
Magic at Your Fingertips – Begin each run by selecting your elemental weapon. Whether you prefer hurling fireballs or dissolving foes with acid, your magic is your primary tool of survival. Time your attacks carefully as you race through this deadly dungeon.
Endless Dungeon, Endless Challenge – The dungeon is alive, constantly shifting and changing its layout. No two runs will ever be the same, keeping you on your toes as you adapt to traps, enemies, and environmental hazards.
Level Up and Customize – Gain experience from every enemy defeated and every trap dodged. Each level up offers you temporary upgrades to enhance your magic and survivability, but beware, upon death, all of it will be lost.
Permanent Progression – While each death wipes away your short-term upgrades, the coins and souls you collect can be spent on permanent enhancements, making you stronger for future runs. Master the balance between momentary power and long-term progression.
Boss Battles – Test your skills against powerful dungeon bosses that drop rare currency (souls). Defeating them is key to unlocking permanent abilities and progressing deeper into the dungeon.
An Unforgiving Curse – No matter how many times you fall, the artifact brings you back. You’re trapped, but not defeated. Keep running, keep fighting, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll break free from the curse.
Are you ready to face the endless challenge? Can you find the key to breaking the curse? The dungeon waits, and time is running out. How far will you go before the artifact claims you for good?
