Short description
A terminal RPG for 1-4 players built on 5E rules. Build a party from 12 classes and races, fight through 100+ rooms of cursed crypts and the Shadowfell, cast 146 spells, and face a villain who won't stay dead. Grid combat, narrated audio, and a three-act campaign dark enough to earn its name.
About this game
Descend into the Crypt Beneath a crumbling church, ancient wards are failing. Vaelthar the Undying — an elven lord who cursed himself with shadow magic after watching his people slaughtered — stirs on his throne of black iron and bone. The seals that held him for centuries are cracking. Someone has to go down there. That someone is you. The Crypt of the Shadow King is a couch co-op RPG for 1–4 players, built on the 5E SRD ruleset and played entirely in the terminal. Roll a party, equip your gear, and fight your way through a three-act campaign — from the crypt beneath a church, through the threatened overworld of Thornfield, and into the Shadowfell itself for a final confrontation with a reborn god who won't stay dead. Build Your Party Play solo or share the screen with up to 4 players on one machine — each creating their own character and taking turns in combat. Choose from 12 full classes — Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, Barbarian, Paladin, Ranger, Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Monk — each with subclasses, unique features, and progression from level 1 to 10. Pair your class with one of 12 races including Humans, High Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Dragonborn, and Tieflings, each with distinct racial traits. Pick a background, assign your ability scores, and choose an alignment. Fight on a Grid or in the Theater of the Mind Toggle between tactical grid combat with movement, positioning, flanking, and cover — or streamlined theater-of-the-mind encounters. Either way, the full 5e combat engine is under the hood: initiative rolls, attack rolls vs. AC, saving throws, advantage and disadvantage, opportunity attacks, conditions, concentration, death saves, and more. Enemies aren't mindless. A threat-scoring AI drives monster tactics — goblins use stealth and numbers, undead shamble relentlessly, and the Shadow King himself wields legendary actions, lair effects, and multi-phase abilities that will punish careless adventurers. Cast 146 Spells Sling Magic Missiles that never miss, sculpt Fireballs around your allies, heal with Cure Wounds, or shut down an enemy caster with Counterspell. The spell system covers 146 spells from cantrips through 5th level across…
