Bonehold PC (Goldberg-Final)

Dungeon Crawler with elements of rogue-like and ARPG games. Kill hordes of enemies, duel mighty bosses, and acquire legendary loot! Choose from 7 unique character classes, including the Knight, Barbarian, Scorcher, Spellblade, and more, each offering distinct playstyles and abilities. When you first start, you’ll be led through a short tutorial that introduces the basic functionality and mechanics of Bonehold. Dodging and attacking are tantamount to being able to progress, as the King’s Field-style “Charging” of weapons is key to defeating the many foes encountered during each run.

As progress is made, coins are obtained that can be used during a run to purchase items from the shopkeepers encountered along the way. More importantly, however, is the gathering of souls from defeated enemies. These are the only thing that carries over between runs (the roguelite element of Bonehold) and can be used for a range of purposes: Additional classes can be unlocked, each with different starting gear and powerful passive abilities that make runs easier, harder, or simply different.

With each class purchased, the cost of the next increases, so deciding what to aim for early is important. Initial starting gear can be purchased from the ghost in the hub area. While these items do not persist between runs, they can make the opening stages easier at Bonehold, leading to greater progress when reaching the more challenging areas (usually after the first boss). Basic stats can also be permanently upgraded in the hub area before a run.

Each stat (Health, MP, etc.) can be upgraded individually, with the cost increasing at every level. Throughout each run, a range of bizarre enemies and traps will keep players on their toes, alongside helpful boons such as temporary boosts that aid progression (increased gold gained, additional spells when attacking, higher HP/MP, etc.). There are also side areas featuring more difficult foes, but the greater rewards they offer can make the rest of the run significantly easier if successfully cleared.
