Pixel Descent

Pixel Descent is a dungeon-crawling game about descending into an abyss to uncover the secrets of the old world. You have signed a contract that severs your ties to the world above, and must fight through the depths with only one life on each run. Your character’s death is guaranteed, but you can earn a legendary reputation.

Fight through the abyss

The abyss shifts between runs, presenting floors full of monsters that try to overwhelm your position. You must balance holding your ground with pushing forward; if you wait too long, a terrifying force may appear and try to claim your glory. Combat includes lots of bullet hell.

Floors and maps

There are over 10 uniquely themed floors and more than 50 handcrafted maps. Maps are selected at random from a pool and include randomized elements such as enemy types, key locations, and entrance and exit locations. Their complex layouts offer multiple routes.

Characters and progression

You can choose from over 20 playable characters. Permadeath is paired with meta progression through a permanent upgrade shop, where upgrades can increase both your rewards and the difficulty.

Local co-op

Pixel Descent supports 1–4 players in local co-op. The co-op can also be played online through Steam Remote Play.
