About Core Of Darkness

Proceed through rooms killing darkness' warriors with swords, bows, other range weapons and of course magic. Kill enemies to get more gold, look for chest to find
items, weapons and spells with elements of
  • Fire
  • Electricity
  • Light
  • Arcane
  • Force
  • Ice
You can light up the dungeon with 3 playable characters
  • Mage - good combination of health, damage and speed
  • Warrior - strong with weapons, tough, but slow and not very good with spells
  • Ninja - very fast, killer with katana and shurikens, but fragile
As you finish level you will have to chose between droping down to next level, fighting a boss or taking a short stop at the shop. With each level lower the dificulty will increase, new enemies will spawn and there will appear enviromental dangers like fire/spike traps or arrows dispensers.

You can also play in Endless mode killing vawes of enemies and upgrading yourself to withstand next round.
Fight your way to the bottom of the dungeon and defeat the darkness once and for all.
