    [​IMG]An indie dungeon crawler called Castle Torgeath: Descent Into Darkness emerged on Steam Early Access late last month. Featured on Chalgyr, Castle Torgeath combines real-time 1st person dungeon crawling with survival mechanics.

    ​

    It was just another sunny afternoon when you come across a notice board looking for adventurers to help on a quest of exploration and discovery of old castle ruins. Offering a hefty lump sum and an extra cut of anything of worth found, you set off to join the expedition team. At the ripe character level of "1" equipped with nothing more than the clothes on your back, a torch, and a sword, you walk into the castle ruins. There's a cave-in leaving you trapped in the dark. Torches only last for so long and the expedition team is nowhere in sight. What was that sound? You're not alone down here and it looks like Castle Torgeath really is going to be a Descent into Darkness to find your way out.

    Castle Torgeath is a throwback dungeon crawler that is designed to kill you, the player (I mean who else right?), in multiple and unfriendly ways. Being bitten, stabbed, impaled horizontally or vertically will all be real worries as the only thing that will truly keep you alive down here is your sense of direction and reaction speeds. With all of the external elements that can kill you though, it's the internal one that matters the most. If your stamina depletes itself then you can quite literally and instantly die from hunger. This is no slow process but neither will it catch you unaware as your stomach makes more than enough noise to draw your attention to feeding yourself and possibly half the other beings down here. Down in this dungeon however food is limited and if you run around willy nilly then death will always be around the corner in more than one way.​
