Chain orbs. Break the horde. Brave the descent.
Brave the Descent is a turn-based roguelike built around orb chains. Assemble a squad of heroes, chart a path across a branching map, and link the orbs your party generates into attacks that grow bigger every turn.
How it plays
- Build the chain. Each turn your heroes add orbs to the board. Chain them together, fire, and spend skills and Ultimates to push the damage further.
- Protect the squad. Your Leader's Protection keeps the party standing when a fight turns against you.
- Choose your route. Every run is a branching map of fights, elites, shops, rest sites and events. Collect skills, equipment and relics along the way; no two runs are the same.
- Raise the stakes. Normal difficulty, plus Ascension difficulty for a harder run.
Features
- 8 heroes (2 Leaders and 6 Vanguards), each with their own skills and Ultimate
- 12 enemy types, including Elites and Bosses
- A branching map with elites, shops, rest sites and events
