About the Game
The demo is a full, older version of the game. The current version has much more content, options and UI features. Anything you unlock in the demo will carry over
Before you lies the Path of Achra...
Inspired by the dungeons of Tales of Maj Eyal, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Rift Wizard, it is the ongoing passion project of a solo developer, who humbly thanks you for visiting
Merge culture, class and religion to establish a starting hero, unlock more options as you play, with 1000+ potential combinations
Customize your hero with 50+ elementally-aligned powers such as Pyrokinesis, Necromancy, Blood Retort, Obedient Ice...
Discover and freely equip unique weapons and armor with impactful abilities
Explosive synergies await...
A "broken build sandbox" - create devastating combos by combining triggered effects. Shoot bolts of lightning when you pierce enemies with vines, teleport while emitting psychic beams, etc...
If you wish, summon armies of powerful allies
Swiftly play through levels with automove commands. With caution! Enemies can be brutal...
Seek the mysterious Obelisk, as the world floods behind you...

Between moments of illness, wanted to push out at least some work for the path here, some fixes / light changes, of the thousand little tweaks I'd love to make, haha
Additionally, the new project has a steam page:
Lands of Achra
Much effort is being put toward this. Beyond anything, the response PoA has gotten has filled me with a lot of love and energy, and I want to build out the world even more here
The actual scope will no doubt be less grandiose than what I'm imagining, but if anything there will be plenty of builds to make, bare-chested battling of monsters, and poem-fragments, of those who roam the distorted earth...

Build 15329491
Aug 10, 2024
realized people really like the "cashout" gameplay of anroth so softened the power-point penalty
View on Steam
Build 15328673
Aug 10, 2024
customary rebalancing of recent things, boosted master repulsion as well
View on Steam

This update has a lot of buffs, with some infinite combos being corrected, plus two new funky prestige classes, one of them being very overpowered (probably, haha, I want to see what people do with it). Some new threats: Scorch damage multiplier + a new "Purge" enemy trait. An Eaten Star void zone
Can't say I'm comfortable being in the slow update era of the Path, but it's to work on the new iteration, a more expansive game of battles and lands

I am HONORED to present some new Granga and Swamp content, haha. Focused on adding some more enemies, funky prestige classes, and in general buffing a lot of stuff that seemed weaker (this is in general what I like to do). I've actually felt guilty since everyone in early access got to experience really rapid additions and all the new people haven't gotten to "enjoy" that. However I think the burnout is pretty much gotten over, it was very helpful to take a break
