What is Delven?

Delven is a single-player strategy RPG set underground. You explore biomes, expand a base, hire workers to automate crafting, and train mercenaries to fight monsters for randomized gear. Battles are turn-based; routine fights can run automatically, while tougher enemies and bosses require manual control.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy combining dungeon exploration with worker management
  • +you like crafting that continues while you are away

Not for you if...

  • −you want combat that plays out in real time
  • −you dislike managing workers and crafting
  • −you want a finished game rather than Early Access
