Soul Warden is a deep, turn-based, dungeon-crawling RPG that combines classic roguelike gameplay with a pinch of collect-a-thon progression , tons of loot , extensive build customization and online multiplayer so you can dungeon-crawl with friends! Fresh out of Warding Academy, you play the role of an inexperienced Soul Warden whose first day on the job is abruptly spoiled by hundreds of miscreant souls mysteriously breaking free from their slumber. Tasked with safekeeping the Underworld's most dangerous dungeons , it is your duty to face the dangers below and recapture the miscreants - down to the very last one of them! Soul Wardens always carry Lanterns . These powerful artifacts absorb the very souls and abilities of enemies defeated in combat, including bosses. Different Souls grant Wardens different powers, meaning that every enemy defeated represents a brand new class to play in your collection. Combat is turn-based, but Player and NPC actions are solved simultaneously. In true traditional roguelike fashion, time advances as you perform these actions. Soul Warden's deep progression loop is constantly driven by the outstanding amount of class diversity and builds that originate from the combination of a Diablo-esque looting system , the unique ability to collect a fresh set of powers every time a new enemy is defeated, and the utility of an otherworldly crafting system . • Classic Roguelike Combat System • Storyline & Questing Systems • Online Multiplayer Co-Op • Hardcore (+) Game Modes • Rarity-Driven Loot System • Procedural Dungeon Generation • Over 50 Collectible Souls • Over 100 Unique Items • Over 10 Boss Fights • Shareable Player Dungeons • In-Game Dungeon Creation Sandbox • Crafting Systems Soul Warden is a Classic Roguelike Dungeon-crawling RPG at it's core, but it comes with a very special twist: a true online multiplayer dungeoneering experience! • Enjoy a classic Roguelike experience with your friends! • Manage your characters, builds and collections in a single hub! • Show off your collection of souls! • Witness a seamless combination of procedurally generated and hand-made content! • Enjoy an organic and intuitive multiplayer experience!
