Labyrinth of Aetheria is a free retro-style 3D dungeon crawler. Inspired by classics like Wizardry and Might & Magic, it revives the essence of old-school DRPGs.
Featuring an auto-mapping function to enhance playability on smartphones, it offers adventures filled with the discovery of rare items and battles with dangerous monsters, capturing the charm of classic games. Experience this retro adventure for yourself.
The setting is the frontier town of Aetheria, rumored to be the resting place of the legendary Holy Grail. Many adventurers, driven by the promise of immense rewards, converge here to take on the dangers of the dungeons.
[Diverse Classes and Skills]
Adventurers can choose from a wide range of classes, from basic ones like fighters, thieves, priests, and mages, to advanced classes like paladins, samurais, ninjas, and sages. Each class comes with unique skills that influence party composition, strategy, and dungeon conquests. By changing classes, adventurers can combine different skills, creating unique characters.
[Town Facilities]
The town offers many facilities useful for adventures, such as item trading at shops, spell learning at the magic guild, and secret tool transactions at the thief guild. Quests can be undertaken at the adventurer's guild, and various clues for dungeon exploration can be found at the tavern. The grand mansion of Sylvan, the noble who sparked the adventurers' interest in the town, is also located here.
[Puzzles and Quests]
Numerous mysteries and mechanisms are found inside the dungeons. The use and location of key items are revealed through tavern rumors and dungeon discoveries, sometimes unlocking new paths after defeating powerful bosses.
[Collection Element]
Items found in the dungeons can be appraised, either by the adventurers' abilities or the town's appraiser, and registered in an item encyclopedia. This allows players to enjoy the collection aspect while progressing through the dungeon conquest.
[Story]
Sylvan, a major noble of the Astaros Kingdom, was one of its most influential figures. He was always in pursuit of gems and valuables. Among them, the most prized was the magical Holy Grail, rumored to be in the dungeon of the frontier town of Aetheria. Sylvan recruited adventurers to challenge the dungeon and obtain the Grail. Huge rewards were promised to those who could bring back the Holy Grail. Hearing these rumors, adventurers from all over gathered in Aetheria. However, none fully understood the danger of the dungeons. The reckless adventurers began exploring the dungeons in search of riches and fame.
This is one of those oldschool type games that keeps it simple and fun. Explore, recognize then figure out the best plan to utilize your team’s strengths, resources and minimize your weaknesses. Having a little trouble with utilizing the helpful cheats from Sylvan but nothing big enough to warrant not appreciating the pure nostalgia that we oldschool rpg game players love. Good job!!! 😎P.S. As I’ve advanced into the game, several times I’ve lost all of my progress due to glitches of the game freezing and then having to start all over from the previous session again. I’m talking after a 30 minute to an hour of playing and finding new exotic gear and such. That really puts a damper on the playability while trying to get deeper in the dungeon. I had to take a star away for that due to that frustration. That needs to be fixed. Fun game without that headache tho.

this game scratches an itch i didn't know i had. this old-school DOS-style is underutilized in the current gaming market, and it's used excellently here. there's so much care and quality put into everything, from the progression systems, to the sprite art, and the chiptune music. i can't believe we get it all free-to-play!i noticed the impending port to PC on steam, and i'm very excited to play that. all of the features and changes in the current demo also address the features i personally wanted to see. not sure if that version will be coming to mobile, but i would be willing to pay for that experience on either platform. i can't sing this game's praises enough, and i can't wait to see what comes next! keep it up!!

Absolutely smitten with this game in all its oldschool glory. Challenging but fair, a delight to explore, with tons of content (cool items to discover, oodles of enemy variety, nice puzzles, well-built classes, awesome boss encounters). Dig the charming graphics and music, too. Can’t recommend this enough for anyone looking for a pure Wizardry-like DRPG experience that’s accessible but doesn’t hold your hand too much. Absolutely bonkers that this is free to play, with ads running only when a “cheat” is invoked. Clearly a labor of love from a very talented creator. I’m in the post-game dungeon now and fighting it out with the final bosses, who are truly not to be trifled with. Thank you for making this!
I love this game!!! *****

It reminds me of the OG games I used to play. Considering that I’m 50 and played Pong when it was released, I have been playing video games for longer than you have been alive. I haven’t unlocked all the items yet, but my only complaint would be that there are not enough different items. It would be cool if there were some random weapons and armor with different stats and magical abilities. But overall, this game is a banger. Simple, easy to play, not too much grind, and hard enough to keep you interested.
