Ebony Spire: Heresy is a love letter to old dungeons with a twist: it is written with the blood of many roguelikes played by the author. Throw, scatter, summon, and destroy everything in your path through 20 levels of true failure in this first-person turn-based game.
Experience all the charms of computer role-playing games in their purest form, where items play an important role. Collect, throw, use, equip, and drink your way up the tower to kill the mad goddess.

WHY YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE THIS GAME
Ebony Spire: Heresy is a niche game that combines roguelike mechanics with old-style first-person dungeons. The game is designed as a coffee-break game (short gaming sessions) and may be a deal-breaker for some players, while others may enjoy the fast level-to-level progress when they are waiting in queues in an online game.
