About This Demo

This free demo lets you try the core loop of Ascend the Pixel Dungeon.

Ascend is a turn-based dungeon crawler. Controls feel familiar — but builds come from spellbooks, your body changes through factors and adaptations, and runs diverge from the first door.

In this demo you start in the jungle path. Segmented monsters choke corridors. Bonfires let you cook and forge. Defeat elites, absorb factors, and push a spellbook build before the demo ends.
