Puzzle Rogue is a roguelike homage to the original Puzzle Quest — That's right, the best one!

Guide your party through the forbidden castle, gathering equipment and items to bolster their strength!  Encounter enemies and battle them in 16-bit JRPG style combat, but with gems!  Gain levels and have your party members learn new abilities!  Choose your path through written events with outcomes that affect your party!  Get handy pro-tips from the in-game manual! Make choices that create useful synergies, so you can reach the end and slay the wyvern!

Puzzle Rogue is still in development.  Someday we'll have a few regions to dungeon-crawl your way through, but for now we wanted to get this first area out there and gather feedback.  Most of the core systems are in place now, and we expect to gradually add more content over time.  Meanwhile we've got:

  • Dozens of items with different effects!
  • A variety of enemies with unique abilities!
  • Six character classes each with different abilities and stats!
  • A party of three with abilities that can synergize with each other!  (Or not!)
  • Randomly generated castle layout with different types of rooms!
  • Sweet pixel art and a UI that matches!
  • An in-game manual with vital protips!
  • A big monster to kill at the end of the first area!


This free to play version is our early access test.  While designed primarily for desktop PCs with a mouse, we have made some adjustments to make sure it's fully playable on a touch screen.  The buttons are a little on the small side for a phone but use a stylus or play on a tablet and you should have no problems.

Let us know if you run into any major problems, or if you have feedback after playing!
