About Realm of the Ghost King
Realm of the Ghost King is a quick-play roguelike where you must battle your way through eight randomly generated dungeons to defeat the Ghost King and become the new king of the realm.
Select from twelve unlockable characters, each with their own unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. You must manage your resources, strengthen your character and rely on your choices to get through each level. Use bombs to defeat enemies and get to hidden power-ups. Just don't make the wrong choices because death is permanent.

- It's a quick-play Roguelike! All the turn-based, randomly generated, perma-death, and monster battling that you love but designed to allow for quicker play sessions.
- Randomly generated dungeons ensure no two playthroughs are ever the same.
- The Daily Challenge, which lets you compare your run to other players. Everyone plays the same set of levels and you have 24 hours to play, but you only get one shot. See how you stack up on the leaderboards.
- Hopefully awesome pixel art if you're into that sort of thing.
- Secrets! Lots of items and places to discover and unlock.

Warning: This game behaves as spyware and collects "telemetry" and personally identifying information. While there is an option to disable this, there's no guarantee that will work. Worse, the developers turned this on by default to try to spy on as many gamers as possible. The developers will make the unverifiable claim that this data isn't personally identifying, of course that's BS as they're collecting IPs and all kinds of other information about gamers, when combined with other profiling data this can 100% identify an individual. They say it's for "QA" purposes but there's no guarantee they're not profiling you or selling your data to third parties as they spy on you. Should you trust them? Of course not... if they had any concerns about user safety and privacy, [i]they wouldn't have built spyware into their game and turned it on by default![/i]. There's simply no reason to trust them and gamers should avoid this game because of this unacceptable privacy invasion. "Realm of the Ghost King" is a badly made amateur ripoff of Rogue/Hack, but with dumbed down gameplay, really crap pixel "art", and it's got spyware embedded in it. Why aren't people lining up to buy this? …3 found this helpful
Saw this game in Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. Shout out to y'all.2 found this helpful
A fun little roguelike. While it's fairly minimal, the mechanics that exist are enough to create a fun little puzzle experience where you plan a few moves ahead so that you can save/balance your resources as best you can. There's quite a bit more depth than it first appears if you're willing to give it a chance and sink your teeth in.1 found this helpful
I played this game on the recommendation of Sin Vega from Rock Paper Shotgun on the itch.io Black Lives Matter bundle. I liked it so much I bought it on Steam to compensate the developer for creating such a fun game and supporting a great cause. I'm a big fan of roguelikes of all shapes and sizes and this one fits the bill for a deep small scale experience. A lot of love and thought was put into this game and it repeatedly shows. I can see myself enjoying this game for some time and would recommend you give it a go!1 found this helpful
