Embark on an Epic Quest in Dungeon Crawl Theater

A Unique Blend of Strategy and Roguelike Action

Dungeon Crawl Theater is a captivating deck-building roguelike that challenges you to fight against the curse of possessed miniatures. Collect powerful cards, draft your deck, and spend the lost souls of others to gain an edge in this thrilling battle for survival. Will you be the next adventurer to break the curse or will the darkness consume you?

The Unique Mechanics That Set It Apart

  • Deck Building: Craft and customize your deck with an array of powerful cards, each with unique abilities that can only be wielded by the right hero.
  • Soul Spending: Use the souls of fallen adversaries to enhance your heroes' energy and action points, giving you strategic flexibility in combat.
  • Action Points and Energy: Manage your heroes' action points and dice-based energy to optimize their performance in battle.

Battle Mechanics Explained

In each round, you'll automatically roll your dice and draw your cards. Clicking the "Battle" button starts combat, where heroes with assigned cards and sufficient energy will act. Single-target moves randomly select enemies, while critical hits deal 1.5x damage (rounded down). After each turn, the next hero acts until the battle ends.

Status Conditions and Strategic Depth

  • Damage Over Time: Poison, burn, and bleed deal continuous damage unless cured or removed.
  • Timed Conditions: Target taunts direct attacks at the affected hero, paralysis skips turns with 25% chance, and stuns prevent action entirely.

How to Play

  1. Roll dice and draw cards automatically before each round.
  2. Assign cards to your heroes by clicking on a card and then selecting the hero it belongs to.
  3. Charge energy for your heroes' action points using the dice of fallen enemies.
  4. Click "Battle" to start combat, where all prepared heroes will act in sequence.
