Explore, craft, and survive in this Multiplayer RPG Platformer with permanent death! Featuring many Rogue-like elements, Magicite randomly generates each underground dungeon for you and your friends to delve deep into.

Exactly what is says on the tin. The game sees the denizens of a dystopian land forced underground by an evil force known as The Scourge. The player and his or her compatriots are to embark on a journey underground through various (procedurally-generated) dungeons, collecting gear, visiting towns, and building themselves up, culminating in a final battle against The Scourge. The game features loads of unlockable races, hats, and companions, as well as up-to-4-player cooperative play.

Character creation begins with a randomizer that spits out random values for HP, Attack, Dexterity, and Magic, as well as two additional perks, such as a greater hunger capacity or the ability to gather more materials. Players then choose a race, a hat and a companion and are thrust into the game. Not far into the game, three archetypical classes--warrior, mage, and archer--are proffered to the player via skill paths, accessible upon reaching certain levels. The game also features a simple crafting system, allowing players to create weapons and tools from various materials.

It's not a pricey game, nor is it taxing on one's system, and it's a whole lot of fun, especially with friends to help you along. If you're a fan of roguelikes, platformers, or cooperative play, I highly suggest giving it a try. Feel free to discuss your experiences and ask questions you may have.

It's a pretty fun game once you learn the basic mechanics and finally defeat the final boss (it's less the boss itself being difficult and more its cronies swarming you and destroying you)

You'll probably want to unlock extra things like the races, hats, and companions (which can give you some extra bonuses or abilities, or even downsides if you want more of a challenge), either to make next runs easier or just for novelty.

For example, there's two unlocks that are almost impossible to get (and the only ones I haven't unlocked legitimately  because fuck these unlocks):

The Overworld Helm cuts down damage by half, rounding down, so you could take 0 damage from things that do 1 damage, but you unlock it by beating the game without taking ANY hits. The last level (the Scourge Realm) will destroy any attempts at doing this unless you get a really good spawn and can deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

The Djinn race is magic-oriented, starting off with the basic wood axe, a really nice weapon, and the Fireball staff, but you unlock it by only defeating one enemy (the Scourge Wall), and that's more difficult since you can't level up since you can't gain experience from killing enemies. You also can't really take any hits.

There's also some more fun challenges like beating the game without crafting anything, beating the game without chopping down any trees, defeating various boss-type enemies, and so on.
