THE GATE BELOW MOONFALL HAS OPENED

Descend into the Depths

Return to town, strengthen your gear, and push through ten dangerous floors toward the guardian below.

DANGER: A greater foe waits on Floor 10.

How to Play

  1. After starting a new game, choose Thief, Knight, or Wizard. Each class has different health, damage, defense, and special strengths.
  2. You begin in town with your class's maximum HP, 3 potions, and 0 coins.
  3. Enter the dungeon and explore each floor to trigger a battle.
  4. Attack to deal damage, or use a potion to heal 35 HP. Between encounters, you may also drink exactly 1 potion before entering the next chamber. Retreat to town when an expedition becomes too dangerous.
  5. Defeated monsters drop coins. In town, 20 coins buys 1 extra potion. The blacksmith also sells permanent weapon and armor upgrades for the current game.
  6. Weapon and armor upgrade paths are class-specific. Thieves take two actions per enemy turn but have the weakest strikes and earn 25% extra coins; Knights retain the strongest defense and reliable damage; Wizards have the weakest protection, stronger late-game staffs, and build Arcane Surge (+2 damage per spell attack, up to +6) during each battle.
  7. You can flee to town at any time. HP refills and dungeon progress resets to Floor 1. If you have fewer than 3 potions, you refill to 3; if you have 3 or more, your stock is preserved.
  8. Defeat the guardian on Floor 10 to win. Your score grows through enemy victories, a Depth Streak multiplier for consecutive wins without retreating, a completion-time bonus, and a survivor bonus for remaining HP and up to 3 unused potions.
