Leaving Early Access: Sep 1, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access positively shaped the game through player feedback. That input is exactly what turned Cryptr from a small dungeon crawler into a full co-op adventure with Steam workshop features for custom levels and classes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Cryptr has spent Early Access growing from its core into a complete, diverse experience. The plan is to leave Early Access and reach 1.0 in the near future.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The 1.0 version will deliver the complete package: full online co-op for up to four players, all six classes and their Ascended forms, distinct dungeons as well as procedurally generated ones, multiple bosses, and a built-in Level Editor for creating your own dungeons or classes. We also plan to keep improving balance, performance, and presentation based on what players tell us. Our goal is a bigger, smoother, more polished Cryptr than the Early Access build. Feedback automatically attaches the player logs, so you can more easily focus on your suggestions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Cryptr is fully playable from start to finish. You can choose from six classes, dive into hand-built dungeons solo or in online co-op, take on varied objectives across four regions, loot and level up, and unlock Ascended forms. Recent updates rebuilt the game's core combat systems and added online multiplayer and the Level/ Class Editor. Some features are still being expanded and refined as we head toward 1.0.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“As Cryptr grows with new content and features, we plan to raise the price over time. Picking it up during Early Access is the best value it will ever be.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We build Cryptr in close contact with its players. We plan to keep gathering feedback and bug reports through the Steam forums and our community channels, share updates as new content ships, and let player input guide balance, features, and what we work on next. The Level Editor is part of that too: we want players making their own dungeons, and in time, sharing them through the workshop on Steam.”

About This Game

Village by village, dungeon by dungeon, the corruption swallowed the land. You are one of many champions sent to battle the dark.

GATHER YOUR PARTY. DESCEND. END THE EVIL.

Cryptr is a 1-4 player co-op hack-and-slash dungeon crawler. Pick a champion, drop into corrupted, hand-built dungeons, and carve a path to the last demon at the source. Play online with up to three friends, or solo with AI allies filling your party.

CHOOSE YOUR CHAMPION
Six classes, each with its own kit, ultimate ability, and talent tree:

  • Knight: sword and shield. Ascends to the Paladin.

  • Ranger: bow. Ascends to the Warden.

  • Wizard: spellcasting. Ascends to the Necromancer.

  • Berserker: dual melee. Ascends to the Ravager.

  • Dwarf Brawler: bare-knuckle fists and kicks.

  • Druid: nature magic and party healing. Shapeshifts into a towering Oak Ent.

Master a base class to unlock its Ascended form. Spend talent points across themed paths, fork into build-defining keystones and capstones, and respec anytime for a small gold fee.

CRAWL THE CRYPTS
Fight through hand-built dungeons across four regions: the Ruins of Lordenfel, the Frostspire Citadel, the Drowned Coast, and the Blighted Sands. Objectives shift from spawner hunts and survival gauntlets to relic escorts and village defense. A boss waits at the bottom.

SET YOUR CHALLENGE
Choose Relaxed, Normal, Hard, or Nightmare from the menu. Turn it up for denser hordes, more Elites, armored shield brutes, and run modifiers that reshape the fight. The toughest crypts pay the best loot.

LOOT AND GROW Clear a dungeon, claim your haul. Weapons and cosmetics drop at random, sorted by rarity color, and customized at the merchant in the Tower. Rack up Steam achievements and unlock every Ascended form along the way.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Cryptr bends to you. Full controller support, remappable keyboard and gamepad controls, and a zoom-out twin-stick overhead view for the Gauntlet Legends angle. Everyone on the same PC keeps their own save profile. Build dungeons from the game's own art in the built-in Level Editor, with custom dungeon play on the way.

Gather your party, grow your power, and summon the force that ends the demon at the root.
