What is Rivalia: Dungeon Raiders?
Rivalia is a single-player action RPG and roguelite set in a castle trapped in a space-time loop.
The player controls one of four main characters and can switch between them during real-time battles while the other heroes fight as allies. Each character has a distinct role, including melee attacks, ranged combat, defensive taunts, healing, shields, and elemental effects. Procedurally generated dungeons include the castle, graveyards, and lava-filled caverns, with traps, challenges, enemies, and guardians. Defeated enemies provide materials for crafting equipment, which can be combined to gain additional powers. The goal is to defeat the jester Ciceron, his creatures, and the guardians protecting each dungeon.
