Caves of Lore
Solo Dev RPG
$9.99
Caves of Lore is a turn-based, pixel-art, fantasy CRPG that combines elements of environmental exploration and character interaction with tactical, grid-based combat.
I'm a self-taught solo-dev who built this passion project over 6 years while holding down a full time job and raising a family. I dedicated myself to work 5 minutes a day no matter what, and built the game piece by piece, not really knowing where I was going or how it would all end.
• Caves of Lore is a turn-based, pixel-art, fantasy CRPG that combines elements of environmental exploration and character interaction with tactical, grid-based combat.
Fun and weird adventures await as you progress through a world full of monsters and humor. Hidden secrets and strange powers abound, allowing for a highly customizable party.
• Vast amounts of loot and treasure constantly increase your power, while dialogue, books and lore are waiting for those who want to be drawn into the world further.
• Dark themes and ancient horrors don’t keep this game from remaining upbeat and funny, with a story that unfolds in unexpected ways. Tactical combat, endless magical item combos, and a vast array of spells, abilities and traits make for great replay value.
• 6 character capacity party, 65+ spells, 65+ abilities, 65+ traits, 50+ monsters, 40+ NPCs , 30+ quests, and 20+ areas to explore. Hundreds of items and tens of thousands of enchantment combinations make for all manner of powerful items.
more This turn-based RPG recalls the secret-filled dungeons of old-school classics–and adds contemporary tweaks like awesome lighting effects and a streamlined interface.

This game is a love letter to those who love old school dungeon crawlers. The turn based combat is fantastic! I really can’t recommend this game enough. Nice lighting effects and good level design. Worth every penny!

This is a classic rpg, omg is it so much fun! I just wish the dialogue system was different, but all the different mechanics and areas to explore are so intriguing! I already know I’m gonna miss this game once I finish it, oh well 😭
