Now in the forge

Play as a wandering merchant struggling to make ends meet, exploring a dangerous world of crypts and dungeons in search of wares to sell in your travelling shop. Discover powerful relics deep underground that grant new combat abilities and playstyles, upgrade them to unlock stronger effects, and sell them at the end of each run in a tactical shopkeeping minigame.
