What is DemonCrawl?
A 2D Minesweeper-style roguelite where you work through puzzle boards, flag enemies, and collect items that shape each run. Quests take you through multiple stages, while an endless mode randomizes stages. You can spend tokens on talents between runs or compete in an online PvP arena.
