Our take on Blackfaun
Its defining structure is the combination of skill-driven combat with procedurally changing dungeons, making each play-through a separate run rather than a steady climb through a fixed level sequence.
What is Blackfaun?
Blackfaun is a fast-paced roguelike action RPG about Eri, a faun completing a trial set by her parents before she can claim the crown.
Each run takes place in randomly generated dungeons filled with enemies, bosses, hazards, and hidden gear. Combat involves dodging projectiles and melee attacks, pushing foes, becoming ethereal, and using varied spell effects. Items provide more than 100 mechanics alongside thousands of stat variations, requiring choices between attributes and special abilities while consumables restore resources. Forty unique enemies and bosses use different tactics and abilities. The story follows Eri, her birth-rune Lex, and her estranged brother Pan across goblin forests, haunted temples, sewers, and palaces, supported by an original soundtrack.
