About Tartarus Dice & Delves
You move room by room, and anything that blocks your path is something you have to fight. It plays as a slow, gear-driven action game where your build matters as much as your next swing.

The goal is to defeat the Four Legendary Bosses and conquer the Longo Itinere. Fighting every creature you meet is how you gain levels, so skipping fights leaves you weaker for the bosses later.
Leveling up is where the dice come in. Instead of fixed stat gains, you roll to see how much your stats grow, which means two runs can produce two very different heroes. Stats include strength (STR) and intelligence (INT), and they shape which gear suits you best.
Weapons and armor sit in secret chests or are sold by greedy merchants, and all of it costs gold. Each item carries one or more colors that show which stats it scales with. A red and purple item, for example, scales with STR and INT, so matching your gear to your strongest rolls is a small brain exercise on top of the fighting.
You start with only a few abilities. Bonfires along the way let you recover the ones you have used and unlock new ones. The dungeon is drawn in a dark pixel art style.
Quick summary
- You walk through a dark dungeon and fight every monster that gets in your way.
- Each level up gives you a dice roll that decides how much your stats improve.
- You spend gold on weapons and armor from merchants or find them in hidden chests.
- The run builds toward the Four Legendary Bosses and the Longo Itinere.
Key features
- Stat growth on level up depends on a dice roll, not a fixed number.

- Weapons and armor come from secret chests or merchants who want gold.
- Bonfires restore your abilities and unlock new ones.
- Four Legendary Bosses stand between you and the end of the game.
Tips & tricks
- Fight everything you meet early on, since more levels means more stat rolls before the bosses.
- Look at which stats your rolls pushed highest and pick gear whose colors match them.
- Keep some gold in reserve so you can buy from merchants when a good item shows up.
- Head to a bonfire when your abilities run low instead of pushing ahead without them.
