Welcome to The Deadly Path, a unique building management and roguelike strategy game set in a dark fantasy underworld. As the chosen acolyte of a malevolent deity, your mission is to construct a formidable base, defend against relentless raiders, and orchestrate the construction of a powerful idol to appease your dark god. Will you harness the forbidden knowledge and emerge as the harbinger of darkness, or will your base crumble under the weight of your enemies?

CHOOSE THE DARK DEITY YOU WISH TO SERVE

Become an acolyte of a malevolent deity of your choosing. Each deity has their own perks, building types and units to manage. Successfully appease your god by building the Idol and defending your dungeon to unlock more deities and playstyles.

EXCAVATE, BUILD & POPULATE

An easy to pick up but difficult to master game loop. Excavate Entombed tiles within the occult dungeon to expand your base, while uncovering Ancient Ruins, Boneyards & Iron Veins on which to build resource generators and enrich your stockpiles. Populate your buildings with the servants at your disposal to expand and defend against raiders.

ADVANCE THROUGH THE AGES

Start in an era of darkness and upgrade the throne, sacrifice your servants and collect blood from the unbelievers to advance through the eras. Each new age provides new buildings, additional servants and possibilities to help grow your empire.

BUILD THE IDOL TO APPEASE YOUR DARK LORD

Explore outwards from your throne room and uncover new (and dangerous) biomes, beacons, portals to hell, loot and artefacts to forge the idol. Unexpected dangers await as you uncover openings for raiders to emerge from and pillage your base!
