Buy Into the Slimy Mines PC key

Into the Slimy Mines is a roguelike tower defense game about rescuing your crew from a slime-infested moon. After crashing your mining vessel and losing the crew, you must bring back your ore-filled cargo before your boss gives the Stout Hammer to a more competent dwarf. You buy cards and booster packs, combine them into useful combos, and dig, build and defend your way through the mines.

Dig sites and crew

Rescue your crew across 30 dig sites in six biomes, each with five increasingly difficult depths. Drag Dig cards to excavate tunnels toward missing crewmates, but those tunnels also give enemies a route to your rig. Rescuing crew and collecting up to 20 datapads reveals more about Captain Firebeard and his intergalactic Dwarven crew. You can also meet the ship’s AI, F.O.R.G.E.

Guilds and drill rigs

Choose one of three guilds: ANVIL, WARHAMMER or PICKAXE. Select from six upgradable Drill Rigs and customise your rig with up to 30 add-ons to suit your playstyle and the hazards at each location.

Defend your rig

Slimes arrive in waves as you dig. Use 26 turrets, each with three upgrade levels, to attack them, or slow them with displacers and blockades. The mines also hold useful equipment: drills can uncover ore for bursts of money, lures distract slimes, and generators keep your rig running deeper underground.

There are 10 buildings and 26 turrets to place and upgrade by stacking a card on another copy of the same card. For example, combining two Level 1 Cannons produces a Level 2 Cannon. You can also use 15 Gadget cards mid-wave to slow or blast groups of slimes and repair buildings.

Progress between runs

The game includes 17 meta upgrades to unlock and improve, making later descents more manageable.
