Our take on Runers
The run-based structure trades persistent progress for replay-driven discovery: death ends the current attempt, while randomized floors and encounters make repeated exploration the main way to see more content.
What is Runers?
Runers is a top-down rogue-like dungeon shooter set in an underground labyrinth.
Each run uses procedurally generated floors and rooms, with randomly selected enemies, events, and bosses. Players choose from 20 Races and 20 Classes, gather Runes, and combine them into 285 spells whose stats can be modified and upgraded. Leveling offers four random traits from a pool of 50. The game includes 10 generated floors, more than 15 bosses, over 100 enemies, challenges, event rooms, achievements, and a Beastiary that records defeated enemies. Five difficulty levels change the challenge. A run ends when the character dies, so discovering the full set of content requires repeated attempts.
