Prepare to become a legendary Slayer in the ever-shifting depths of Dracula's Curse. This procedurally generated dungeon crawler plunges you and your fellow Slayers into a nightmarish realm, where no two playthroughs are ever the same. Choose from one of 7 Slayers each with their own unique abilities, backgrounds, and subclasses or embrace the darkness and play as Dracula himself, the ultimate lord of the night. One among you will embrace the dark side as Dracula, with the power to summon minions, reap souls, set traps, and manipulate the castle itself. As Slayers, you must strategically work together, gathering items, enhancing your skills, and uncovering the castle's secrets. Yet, be wary - friendships can swiftly turn as fallen Slayers have the chance to join Dracula's legion, working against their former allies. -description from the publisher
