Ebony Spire: Heresy is a love letter to dungeon crawlers of old with a twist: It's been signed with the blood of many roguelike games that have been experienced by the writer. Crawl, throw, summon and smash your way through 20 levels of pure mishap in this first person turn based dungeon crawling game. Experience a back-to-the-basics computer role playing game where items play a central role. Pick up, throw, use, equip and drink your way up the tower to slay the fervent goddess.
New enemies, mouse support and quality of life improvements! All your feedback through the past year has been taken under consideration and implemented!
Try out the Classic Mode which allows you to explore the game via hand-crafted levels and carefully placed encounters or test your skill and luck in the Infinite mode which features procedurally generated levels!
Ebony Spire: Heresy is a niche game that blends roguelike mechanics with old-school first person dungeon crawlers. The game is designed as a coffee-break game (short play sessions) and may be a deal-breaker for some players while others might enjoy the quick level-to-level progression while they are queueing in an online game.
The source code for the game is available under the MIT license. Feel free to use it to create your own adventure. And since the code is easily accessible you can mod it, add items, enemies and levels to your hearts content. The game arrives with TileD integration and you can use the supplied spritesheet to create your own levels and puzzles and share them with the community. Or use the integration and your own assets to create your own game. It's up to you what you do with the source code.

played through with all 3 chars. fairly easy but fun.2 found this helpful

This game is cool! I'm not really into roguelikes but this one had a lot of positives. I would describe it as being like Etrian Odyssey except you'll probably win1 found this helpful
Not much to say besides the game just isn't terribly fun. There's no party or even character building, you just pick one of three classes and go. Gameplay is standard gridded dungeon-crawling stuff, though instead of formal turn-based combat it uses the overworld enemies system where you attack in movement. Not a problem in itself I don't think, except the game is kinda just, really easy too. There's no character progression per-se, all your growth in power is from items; thing is it's really easy to get a couple of good items at the start and become pretty much unkillable. I was able to brute force my way through like 7 floors, which mostly consisted of picking up and discarding items that were less effective to use than literally ramming into my enemies and exploring environments I think are best described as inoffensive (not that I could do better). My session came to an end when I tried to cast a spell for the lols and the game crashed. Eh. I can't say I really [i]disrecommend[/i] the game, it costs next to nothing and it kept me busy for an hour or so, so like it you're bored and got a dollar to burn, by all means.
