What you do down there

How it plays

Dice decide the distanceRoll two dice and move by one die or both added together. Rerolls cost stamina, so luck is a choice.
Parry or perishFights are all timing. Hit the parry zone to open monsters up, nail the gold zone for a triple-damage perfect parry.
Seven zones, getting nastierFrom the Mossy Entrance down through the Old Mine, Sewer Canals and Castle Prison to the Blood Mansion.
Bosses in their own hallsThe last floor of every zone is a boss arena. The door slams behind you.
Nine tiers of gearWooden to Void. Each tier gets its own colour on your hero.
Corpse runsDie and your loot stays with your body, guarded by a monster. Go get it back.
Perks every restPick one of three dice perks at each rest zone. They last until you die.
Online leaderboardsFull Run resets monthly. Deepest Depth is forever.
