Muster

Muster is a roguelite autobattler where you prepare a warband of up to five diggers, then watch it fight automatically. You recruit from 20 characters, equip them and arrange them on your half of a large hex battlefield. Their formation, reach, equipment, talents and class abilities determine how battles play out.

Plan each battle

Before combat, you can position your whole warband freely. Place a Tank at the front, protect a Healer, keep an Archer at range or send a Rogue after an exposed enemy. Once the battle starts, the diggers move, choose targets, attack and heal on their own as combat unfolds in real time.

After each fight, a detailed report breaks down damage dealt, healing, damage taken, attacks and effects. Use it to adjust your preparations for the battles ahead.

Build your warband

Recruit diggers as you descend and shape the party around your preferred approach. The 20 characters differ in range, priorities, abilities and positioning. Each role has a class quest and three talent trees.

You can equip weapons and charms, move gear freely between diggers and improve equipment at forges. Relics affect the entire expedition. Enemies award coin when defeated and may drop gear in four rarities; a recruit or a well-placed item can change how the whole warband fights.

Search the excavation

Between battles, choose what to dig up from a numbered excavation grid. Clues can point to nearby finds, and you spend a limited supply of shovels and lanterns to search for recruits, equipment and a route that suits your expedition. Monsters and prizes share the same clues, so a dig may uncover something useful or wake an entire connected pocket of enemies.

The boards are procedurally generated and checked by a solver, but clues that indicate something is buried do not reveal whether it is an opportunity or a threat.

Descend into the barrows

Runs in the earthen barrow and the unlockable frozen barrow last six floors, with different enemies and bosses in each. You can extract surviving diggers to preserve their talent builds or risk them deeper below in Endless. Battles also track persistent wounds.
