Depths of Destrus

is a roguelite rpg game, where you start in a dungeon with nothing but your appearance and name.

You find new items and enemies the further into the dungeon you go.

Will you die and start over? Or will you survive?

Depths of Destrus is still under development, so please do expect bugs here and there.
The development demo is not optimized for performance, so fps may be lower than supposed to.

The user interface in the screenshots is outdated, and looks much better in-game.

Game Tester Testimonials

MaZTaT - Destrus is the type of game you sit back and enjoy. It implores you to relax and digest its intricate hallways and discover every secret its depths hold.

Quibi - Well the game is okay, at this moment it’s not something I would choose to play over other titles (at least not yet), but it’s a decent working game nonetheless. It still needs work, needs more ideas, but it’s a work in progress.
