Play Gloomvault online
Gloomvault is a turn-based dungeon run where movement, exploration, and combat all share the same rhythm. Each step reveals more of the map through fog of war, while enemies reposition and new tactical choices appear.
Dungeon layouts are generated for each run. You will manage health, potions, treasure, melee threats, and ranged enemies while searching for the stairs that lead deeper underground.

Tips for a better run
Do not rush into unexplored corridors when your health is low; fog of war can hide ranged enemies just outside view.
Save potions for situations where healing creates a real escape route instead of merely delaying defeat.
Use corners and narrow passages to reduce the number of enemies that can pressure you at once.
Before taking the stairs, explore enough of the floor to collect useful resources—but know when extra treasure is not worth the risk.
