Ricave

Ricave is a first-person, turn-based 3D roguelike dungeon crawler with grid-based movement and procedurally generated dungeons. You fight, loot, explore, craft items, cast spells, set traps, complete quests, discover secrets, unlock perks and enchant gear. Time-rewind mechanics let you undo mistakes, while tactical choices and environmental hazards shape each encounter.

Explore and fight

Each run takes place in a uniquely generated dungeon. Scenarios are designed to have a solution, though some require exceptional skill and creativity. You can immobilize enemies, set them on fire, break their bones, lure them beside explosive barrels and detonate them, or push them into toxic water. Fire, barrels and toxic water can also be used for environmental kills.

Combat lets you target enemy limbs, and conditions can affect both you and your opponents. Missing a leg slows movement, damaged eyes cause blindness, and missing arms limit item interaction. You can also suffer from illnesses, bleeding wounds, broken bones and starvation. Enemies follow the same rules, which you can use to your advantage.

Rewind time

You can rewind time to correct mistakes or misclicks. Ricave is deterministic: if you rewind and make the same move again, the result is the same, so rewinding cannot be used to roll for higher damage.

Items and magic

Potions can heal or harm you, boost strength or cause weakness, intoxicate you, speed you up, act as poison or restore mana. Scrolls can make you levitate, teleport you randomly, summon a deadly creature, improve your vision, rewind time, remove a curse or inflict conditions such as freezing, blindness and burning.

Progress between runs

Death does not erase all progress. You can complete quests, level up your character, find permanent items and advance the storyline across runs. You also gain access to a lobby, where you can buy and personalize a private room with trophies collected during dungeon adventures.

Interface and mods

The game uses a clean, readable interface and high-contrast, stylized graphics to help you understand your surroundings and make tactical decisions. An in-game tutorial guides new players. Ricave also includes mod support and an in-game mod manager.
