Runes of the Abyss

🔥 Runes of the Abyss – A Tactical Roguelike RPG

Delve into a cursed dungeon where every step is a decision—and every battle is your last chance to survive.

Runes of the Abyss is a turn-based tactical RPG with roguelike structure, blending party-building, elemental synergy, and permadeath tension. Assemble a party of four unique heroes, each with their own skillset, and dive into handcrafted dungeon floors where enemies, loot, and allies are randomized every run.

⚔️ Strategic Combat

the turn-based combat in Runes of the Abyss is fast and punishing, rewarding clever synergy and efficiency:

• Elemental Affinities – Some skills are tied to an element (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Earth, and Light). Enemies and allies have resistances, weaknesses, and interactions—exploit them for critical damage.
• Buffs & Debuffs – Other skills alter the tide of battle with status effects: slow enemies, poison or bleed them over time, increase evasion, or seal enemy abilities.
• Synergy is King – Pair a class that debuffs defense with one that lands massive single-target damage. Use support spells to empower combos, or sacrifice your own party members for forbidden power.
• Synergy Runes – Power up elemental combos or buffs/debuffs (e.g., "Shocked enemies take double Wind damage") or enhance cross-class tactics.
