Margoq's Lair
A downloadable game for Windows
Margoq's Lair is a 2D top-down roguelike hack'n'slash dungeon crawler. Engage in action-packed combat, select between randomly generated spells, combine your abilities to make devastating attacks and find mythical items on your journey to escape the evil wizard's lair without dying even once!
You are imprisoned by the malevolent wizard Margoq. You wake up on the lowest floor in his dungeon and your quest is to escape the dungeons 20 floors before Margoq takes over the world.
Combine abilities into powerful attacks - for instance the fireball and shield turns into a fire shield, while the fireball and stomp turns into the fire nova:
Find items on monsters, in chests and breakable interior:
Key features
- Get more powerful with every playthrough by utilizing the meta progression system.
- Experience the atmosphere of old school board games, whilst playing through real-time action in a charming, but dark, pixel art world.
- Upgrade and customize your stats by going to the next floor (level up), finding hidden treasures or loot the dead monsters.
- Stats, abilities and the very environment will change with each playthrough, ensuring a vast amount of replayability.
- Permanent death on all difficulties ensures a blood rushing, thrilling and challenging experience, for players of all skill levels.
- Margoq curses each floor with a different random curse, affecting all enemies and the player - for instance the dreaded "Danmed!" curse, which makes the maximum health stuck at 75% for the entire floor.
Finally - feel free to engage in the community and give some comments on your thoughts. All feedback are welcomed and even though I have a clear direction in my head (and in writing) I will take suggestions up to serious consideration. Join the Zillo Games Discord Server.
