Headless heroes repeatedly delve into a shifting, monster-filled castle to grow stronger and finally defeat its bosses.

Gameplay

Reveal new biome rooms, move point-to-point, and pick action cards to fight enemies while collecting gear, gold, scrolls, and Cells. You’re always pushing onward before your limited health runs out, knowing death resets the run but not your hard-earned upgrades.
