Caves of Combat

The world's life force sank into the deep

Myra is the force that binds every living thing to the world. Over generations it drained from the surface into the earth below, and the surface withered. With nothing left above, your ancestors descended to survive.

In the deep they discovered what Myra truly is. Defeat a creature and its Myra becomes yours: its life, its strength, its powers. They took, and kept taking, pushing ever deeper, until their greed carried them to the bottom of the world and the balance of the deep broke.

You were born underground, generations later. The caverns your ancestors plundered are hostile now, and each depth is held by a guardian swollen with Myra. Descend, defeat them, and restore what was broken.

Fight for every drop

Tight, readable swordplay that's quick to pick up and rewards real mastery.

Your life comes from the fight. The Myra you draw from enemies is what keeps you alive. Hanging back won't heal you.

100+ abilities forged from Myra

Abilities don't just make you stronger. They change how you play. Call lightning down on your critical hits, make enemies erupt when they fall, spread poison and bleed from one kill to the next, or turn your own broken shield into a weapon.

Every pick is a real decision. Some abilities feed each other, others pull your run in opposite directions, and the best builds come from seeing the combination before anyone else would.

Spend Myra in the shop, reroll for a better offer, and use tokens found in chests to steer the shop toward the build you're chasing.

The harsh ecosystem below

Descend from the crumbling Ruins through the overgrown Jungle, crystal Caves, the scorching Inferno and the frozen Tundra. Each biome poses its own challenge, with more to learn and more to master.

The creatures of the deep are bound to their home, and every one fights differently. Learn how each one moves and attacks, then learn how they fight together.

A guardian waits at the end of each biome, each with its own arsenal: summoning broods to fight for it, firing homing volleys, sweeping the arena and more.

More than winning

Unlock new abilities by playing. Land crits, engage in aerial combat, and defeat guardians. Every unlock shows its condition up front, so even a lost run moves you forward.

Gild your abilities. Win a run with an ability equipped to gild it in gold, and work toward a fully gilded Codex.

No permanent stat upgrades. What carries between runs is new options and your own skill, never raw power.

For players who love the numbers: the Codex shows every ability's history, plus which abilities you pair together and which pairings actually win. Lifetime stats and a full run history fill in the rest.
