Black Dragon Mage

Black Dragon Mage is a top-down action-roguelite shooter with 16-bit-style visuals, drawing on the bullet heaven subgenre. You face thousands of demonic enemies and challenging bosses, building a different combination of weapons and abilities over the course of each run.

The Black Dragon Mage

You hatch a dragon companion from an egg and ride it into battle as a weapon. Each level-up lets you upgrade your mage and weapons and choose from ARPG-style abilities. Death gives you another chance to experiment, while the Hall of Relics lets you buy meta-upgrades, including weapons, abilities, upgrades and hats, to return with more power.

Weapons and abilities

Your arsenal includes fireballs, icy orbs that leave frosty mines and freeze enemies on contact, an arcane beam staff and the power of the void. You can modify primary weapons through stats or special upgrade paths called Masteries. Combine them with offensive and defensive abilities such as Shield of Frost, Summoned Flameswords, Spiral Strike and Fiery Pentagram to shape your build.

Procedural environments

Maps are procedurally generated, with power-ups and hazards placed randomly on each run. You can use the environment to your advantage by leading enemies into traps, including explosive ones.
