## Description

Welcome to the Dungeon!
Dark Descent is an intense, melee focused dungeon crawler set inside the abandoned castle of a Lich!

Sporting a lovingly crafted combat system reminiscent of other melee Slasher titles such as Mordhau and Chivalry, complex interconnected random level generation and a wide range of dynamically generated lootable items to find!

In addition to all that we have 20+ unique weapons, 35 class skills you can level up, 10 unique enemies + 1 boss, 300+ handcrafted animations, 33 achievements and many secrets to find!

May you find your fortune within the depths of Castle Velmorren.

- Multiplayer
- I've enabled multiplayer for everyone. It's buggy as fuck, so please report any bugs you find here. I will address them over time.
- I hemmed and hawed about this for ages - largely because s&box punishes a games visibility if it errors a lot and with multiplayer I cannot guarantee that wont happen.
- Ultimately I decided to just bite the bullet - it should \*mostly\* work. Mostly. Maybe.
- Spellcasting especially will be fucked in multiplayer.

**Improved**

- hotbar got a massive rework, should be more intuitive/useful
- i'm sure i did some other stuff - couldn't tell you what though, god I'm good at this.
- the map is fixed - praise be

**Known issues**

- Mind Whip stun doesn't work correctly
- Icon colours are fucked (thanks facepunch)
- Health bars are fucked (thanks facepunch)
- Hotbar can appear over the top of your Character Sheet
