Shadow Gates

You died on the lowest gate. Now build the army that ends them all. Shadow Gates is a roguelite dungeon crawler where you crawl 5 escalating gates with 5 distinct biomes — Forest, Crypt, Shadow Rift, Frozen Cathedral, Volcanic Forge — each with its own boss, enemies, and music. Inspired by Solo Leveling, every kill extracts a shadow you can deploy on your next run. Lose 100 times. The army grows. Eventually you don't just survive — you walk back in commanding the dead that killed you. 🗡️ Five Classes, Five Fantasies Knight — frontline shield, area cleaves, taunts that pull aggro Mage — projectile control, elemental combos, freeze-then-shatter Rogue — backstab burst, blink dodges, single-target deletion Warrior — sustained DPS, rage stacking, mid-range cleave Paladin — heal-while-hitting hybrid, holy AoE, party-of-one tank 🌑 The Shadow Army Loop Every kill leaves an extractable shadow. Deploy up to 5 shadows on your next run. Your worst death builds your strongest army. 🎲 Run Variety 5 classes × 5 gates × 14 curses × 25 aspects × 5 ascensions Special rooms: Forge, Altar, Merchant, Elite, Event Daily challenge with seeded leaderboards Boss Rush mode Endless ascensions for veterans ⚙️ Built for Replay Transparent formulas, no microtransactions, no energy timers.
