What is Escape The Mad Empire?

Set amid an apocalypse caused by a fallen empire, this is an isometric party-based RPG built around dungeon runs. Assemble heroes, choose a route through the caverns, and pause fights to use spells, abilities, and items. Successful escapes yield resources for a hub where you recruit heroes and craft gear.

For you if...

  • +you like repeat dungeon runs with hub progression
  • +you enjoy experimenting with different party compositions
  • +you want to adjust the difficulty of tactical fights

Not for you if...

  • −you want a story-focused RPG rather than repeated runs
  • −you dislike managing several heroes and their equipment
  • −you prefer combat without pausing to issue commands
