Rootbound Deep is open: 10 new chambers, four new foes, nine Relics and the Hollow King. Plus a tougher First Descent and clearer Bone Tyrant finale. You are one piece on a dungeon floor — and every enemy shows you its next move. WARDEN is a turn-based tactics roguelite with zero randomness in combat. No dice, no misses, no unfair deaths. Read the telegraphs, pick your tile, and outthink the dungeon one turn at a time. When you die — and you will — it was your fault. That's the point. TWO DESCENTS, TWO RULERS Hold the last Lights through the original ten-floor First Descent, then enter the Rootbound Deep: a separate ten-chamber campaign in a drowned, overgrown dungeon that remembers how you moved. Each journey has its own rooms, enemies, upgrades and final ruler. HOLD THE LIGHTS The dead don't march on you. Each chamber holds two soul-Lights — cyan flames the horde is coming to snuff — and you are the only thing that can stand between. Capture, shove and body-block. Lose every Light and the run ends. No hiding, no kiting, no waiting it out: the dungeon makes you fight for something. REWRITE HOW YOU MOVE Every room you clear offers a choice that changes how you play. In First Descent, mutate your movement and combat. In Rootbound, choose between Lantern, Iron and Ash Relics that preserve, redirect or erase consequences. By the final chamber, you are playing a piece that has never existed before. THE DEEP REMEMBERS Face the Rootbinder, which replays your route as roots; the Echo, which copies your last movement; and the shielded Graveshell. Cross Root Halls, a Drowned Vault, the Ash Foundry and the Hollow Throne, then break the Hollow King's crown and find the opening in his guard. FACE THE BONE TYRANT The First Descent remains a complete tactical trial. Learn its watchers, defend both Lights and read the Tyrant's three-beat Advance, Strike and Recover cycle. His court is tougher now, but the rules are taught before the fight. ONE DUNGEON A DAY, SHARED The Daily Descent gives everyone the same dungeon and one attempt. Share your spoiler-free result ribbon, keep your streak alive and make your friends keep pace. A COMPLETE GAME, THE OLD WAY • Pay once.

THE ROOTBOUND DEEP • Descend into a second ten-chamber campaign with its own rules, rooms and final ruler. • Learn three new regular foes: the route-binding Rootbinder, movement-copying Echo and shielded Graveshell. • Choose nine Relics across Lantern, Iron and Ash families to preserve, redirect or erase consequences. • Cross four distinct regions before breaking the Hollow King's crown in a new multi-stage boss fight. • Hear sparse Hollow King voice cues and feel clearer haptic feedback for threats, captures and victories. FIRST DESCENT • Face a tougher action economy: follow-up moves remain powerful but can no longer chain indefinitely. • Use Wardfire by saving a threatened Light instead of spending it automatically on ordinary captures. • Learn the Bone Tyrant's complete Advance, Strike and Recover cycle before entering his court. IMPROVED • Follow both campaigns through clearer menus, journey records, restoration and victory screens. • Read Rootbinder paths, Echo destinations, shield facing and boss phases directly on the board.
