WishBound: Eternal Dungeon is a turn-based 2D roguelike game featuring a node-based map and text events.
You take on the role of a famous Thief who once stole sacred offerings from the God of Time. As retribution, the deity erased his name and memory. Now, the Thief ventures back into the Cathedral of the fallen god, seeking to reclaim what was taken or to learn that some things cannot be recovered.
Each playthrough offers a unique journey: you choose your route, explore various rooms, confront enemies, discover relics, encounter peculiar characters, and make critical decisions. Some finds will aid your survival, while others may add to your burden within the Cathedral.
Engage in one-on-one battles, strategically using attacks, defense, skills, and potions to outmaneuver your opponent. Will you gamble everything or play it safe?
Can you delve deep into the Cathedral and recover your lost identity?
How to play
Decide on the next node on the map and deal with the room event: fight, loot, rest, trap, trader, NPC, shrine, or boss.
During combat, turns switch between the player and the opponent. Pay attention to the enemy's actions to predict its next move.
The player can choose from five actions:
[1] Attack;
[2] Defend;
[3] Use the first active ability;
[4] Use the second active ability;
[5] Drink a potion, if any.
By defeating enemies, you gain experience, coins, artifacts, and new possibilities. Defense helps выдержать heavy strikes, while resolve is needed for abilities. Keep an eye on your HP — if it drops to zero, the run is over.
After each room, you return to the map to pick the next path. Sometimes it's worth the risk to get a reward, but other times it's better to rest, retreat, and save your progress.
Your ultimate objective is to reach the Cathedral's depths, vanquish the boss, and reveal the secret of the Thief's forgotten name.
