A dungeon crawler where every card is a tactical decision.

DarkVael is a 1–4 player cooperative dungeon crawler built around strategic card combat, distinct hero playstyles, and evolving tactical choices.

We’re designing it to deliver a full dungeon-crawling adventure in the smallest box we can.

Strategic Card Combat

Choose your actions, manage your hand, and turn every card into a meaningful tactical decision.

Distinct Hero Playstyles

Each hero is built around its own mechanic, rhythm, and role, not just different stats.

Build as You Descend

Expand your options, shape your deck, and grow stronger as the dungeon unfolds.

Full Dungeon Crawling

Explore, fight, manage resources, and face deadly bosses across a complete cooperative adventure.

Four Heroes. Four Ways to Fight.

Each DarkVael hero is built around a distinct card mechanic, giving every class its own rhythm, decisions, and role in the party.

Mage class — wielder of arcane fury
Mage

Mage

Command elemental spells and fight beside a summoned mimic that echoes your magic. The Mage bends the battlefield through explosive bursts, clever positioning, and duplicated spell effects.

Cleric class — beacon of light
Cleric

Cleric

Heal wounds, protect allies, and place blessings that empower the party. The Cleric turns support into strategy, deciding when to restore, strengthen, or carry the team through danger.

Rogue class — strikes from the shadows
Rogue

Rogue

Chain cards together into swift combos, then finish with a decisive strike. The Rogue rewards careful sequencing, sharp timing, and knowing exactly when to vanish or go all in.

Barbarian — conjuring now

In Development

Barbarian

Build rage and shape brutal attack patterns through a poker-inspired combat engine. The Barbarian turns momentum into destruction, escalating from raw force into devastating combos.

Strategy over luck. Courage over fear.
Together, you will descend.
