Skilltree Saga

Skilltree Saga is a roguelike RPG set in Aventuria, the world of The Dark Eye. Choose a human, elf or dwarf adventurer and battle randomly generated opponents across more than 100 stages, developing and upgrading magical skills as you pursue a kidnapped noblewoman and fight the forces threatening the land.

Story

An army of orks and goblins led by the Dark Ruler Sargul is besieging Griffinsford. The daughter of Baron Griffontrue, who is your beloved, has been abducted, and you set out after her. Goblins ambush you, but a master of the mysterious Elemental Knights saves you and offers you the rare chance to join their ancient, hidden order. After an intensive crash course, you take on Sargul’s horde, which threatens to overrun the land.

Dungeons and equipment

Explore more than 100 levels across several dungeons, where randomly generated monsters and treasure await. You can find chests, healing fountains and a neutral goblin merchant who sells items and equipment. Defeated enemies provide equipment to wear for attribute bonuses, including to Strength, Cleverness and Constitution; you can also trade equipment and buy provisions at the market. Diamonds can be used to buy rare astral and healing potions that restore Astral Energy and health.

Falling to a dungeon’s dangers means starting again, but you retain the experience earned during the attempt. More difficult dungeons feature bosses, and victories can earn a place in the hall of heroes.

Duels and skills

Combat is turn-based, and you choose skills to use against each opponent. Attack with wind and water magic or powerful fire spells, and learn and upgrade skills as you progress. Enemies also use magic: their attacks can burn or freeze you, weaken your senses or rain death down upon you.

You earn experience by fighting monsters and gain power through level-ups. Level-ups award Adventure Points, which you can spend to improve your skills and learn new spells from the Elemental Knights’ skill tree.
