The game is a mixture of classic fantasy roleplaying and miniatures board gaming, utilizing the Zombicide system that keeps the focus on the action with no need for a game master. Players create a character, spend XP on skills, and then search the dungeon for loot or take on the multitude of different enemy-types lurking in the dungeon. There are different quests which allow players to gain XP and loot, as they level up their heroes as the game progresses.

As players encounter different monsters (Minions, Agents, Roaming Monsters, and Bosses), a unique mechanic allows random monsters to spawn as “Guardians.” Guardians receive a random piece of equipment to use in the fight, and if defeated, give up the equipment as loot.

CMON and Guillotine plan to fund the game with an upcoming Kickstarter campaign.
