Netherguild is a turn-based tactical roguelite dungeon-crawler in which you command expeditions below the earth in a desperate attempt to cure a strange plague. Explore, camp, and fight as far as you can before heading back to resupply. What will you discover underground?

Key Features:

  • Bonfires:
    Construct campfires underground, rest and eat next to them. The food items you consume affect your guild members and the rest of your expedition, with passive effects, permanent changes and more!

Resting and healing near a bonfire


  • Combat:
    Learn how to defeat different enemies (and when to flee) in combat. Hitting enemies requires no RNG - so you can depend on your abilities, but watch out for tricky enemies that are immune to your strategy, unfortunate circumstances and surprises!
    In Netherguild, combat is another form of resource management- how can you prevent your characters from getting hurt, or receiving harmful debuffs? When is it the right time to use a powerful ability, when should you save it for later?

Armored Dash


  • Roguelite with Persistence: Keep your characters at the end of each expedition (if they survive), level them up and equip them over time.
  • Underground Events: Different oddities you find underground will present you with various choices that may affect your expedition and the game world at large.
  • Replay Value: Random equipment, random character backgrounds with different skills and procedurally generated levels every time you descend underground mean that playthroughs feel different every time.
  • Dungeon Crawling Resource Management: Powerful abilities have a limited amount of uses. Your characters have limited inventory space. What is more important? The priceless loot you bring up back to the surface, or the firewood logs that let you descend even deeper?
  • Original Game World: Netherguild may be fantasy, but don't expect it to play by genre conventions at all; No Orcs, no Elves, and no wizards casting fireballs. Expect to find strange biospheres and denizens far underground.
  • Cute Voxel Aesthetics: Contrasted by a story with serious themes, as you face against plague and conspiracy!
  • Solo Developed: I'm always happy to get feedback, suggestions and inspiration from players. You can reach me through various channels such as my twitter, the Netherguild discord and Netherguild steam forum. If you love Netherguild, dislike something about it, or you have a fantastic idea you think should be added to the game, please let me know!

Netherguild Trailer


Netherguild descends into Steam early access after a long time as a public demo!

In Netherguild, you play as the leader of a guild - controlling your little voxel fighters in expeditions below the earth in a desperate attempt to find a cure to a strange plague.
Explore, camp, and fight as far as you can before heading back to resupply.
What will you discover underground?

During Early Access, players will get to rediscover the Bluestone Mines Area (also present in the demo) -

-as well as the Bandit Stronghold area and The City Of Mist area - both let you push enemies into lower floors.

The Bandit Stronghold contains a bossfight as well, while the City of Mist contains an environmental hazard - the Mist itself - obstructing your vision.

The new areas also each contain their own unique enemies and loot.

You can get Netherguild here:

(Be aware that Netherguild's price will increase as more content is added to the game)


Early Access release trailer:


Features:

  • Turn Based Combat: With no attack RNG, so you can count on your units and know when to engage enemies and when to fall back.
  • Bonfires: and a food system which affects your characters with passive effects throughout their expedition.
  • Oddities: random events you discover which present choices underground.
  • Replay Value: with random equipment, random character backgrounds with different skills each playthrough and procedurally generated levels every time you descend underground mean that playthroughs feel different every time.
  • Roguelite with Persistence and Story: Keep your characters at the end of each expedition (if they survive), equip them with powerful items and level them up over time. Netherguild's story progresses the more you explore and find out about the secrets of its world.
  • Dungeon Crawling Resource Management: Balance powerful abilities across long expeditions underground.
  • Original Game World: Netherguild is unconventional low-fantasy; No Orcs, no Elves, and no wizards casting fireballs. Expect to find strange creatures, machines and denizens far underground.
  • Cute Voxel Aesthetics: Contrasted by a story with serious themes, as you face against plague and conspiracy!
