Down the Darkest Pit

About the Game

Down the Darkest Pit is a turn-based tactical dungeon crawler where every descent is a high-stakes expedition. Build a party of heroes, explore shifting caverns, survive tactical battles, and decide when to push deeper or extract before everything is lost. Between runs, your settlement grows, unlocking new heroes, crafting options, and long-term progression.

Tactical Turn-Based Combat

Positioning, abilities, and clever teamwork are everything. Each hero has unique skills, weapon abilities, and stat builds that define their role on the battlefield. Enemies hit hard, status effects matter, and even small mistakes can be fatal. Dodge, flank, control the field, and strike at the perfect moment.

Dungeon Exploration

Each run is a branching, procedurally generated dungeon filled with events, combat, treasure rooms, mining, lore, safe camps, and extraction points. You choose your route and live with the consequences.

Party Management & Survival

Camping restores strength but risks ambush. Supplies are limited, HP doesn’t magically refill, and every decision matters.

Settlement Progression

Between expeditions, you return to a growing settlement. Upgrade buildings, manage inventory, train heroes, recruit new classes, and craft stronger gear.
