The Fortress

The Fortress is a dungeon crawler about escaping a horrific citadel where the Lich has imprisoned you and other outcasts. You have no name or past, and must survive the fortress’s rooms, fight its enemies and seek a way out. When a prisoner dies, another takes their place and continues the attempt, so each run can differ from the last.

The fortress

Advance one room at a time along a procedurally generated path. Some rooms hold enemies, while others offer a chance to catch your breath. The citadel is home to more than 70 enemies, end-of-level bosses and NPCs, as well as unexpected opportunities.

The escape unfolds through a dark gothic story populated by enigmatic characters. Vampire merchants, disgraced abbots and other unreliable allies have their own secrets and agendas. You decide whom to trust, which alliances to make and when to walk away; their help may be vital, but your choices can bring you closer to salvation or toward death.

Prisoners and combat

Choose from nine playable classes, each with unique abilities, gear and strategies. Customize your prisoner with abilities, upgrades and equipment, and adapt your approach with more than 60 items, relics and gear pieces.

Combat against the Lich’s army is based on dice rolls, with strategy and risk shaped by your class and gear. Choices matter in battle as well as in the alliances you form and the upgrades you accept.

A repeating escape

The path is long and unforgiving, and each step can bring you closer to freedom or lead to a darker fate. If a prisoner falls, another takes up their legacy and tries to escape again, through a new run of unpredictable rooms.
