About This Game
Warlord's Penance is a fast-paced, short-form dungeon crawler that demands skill (get gud or perish). Battle a variety of foes in an unconventional combat system. Locate and rescue your two evil allies from their prison to form a deadly, ability-combining party. Fight, explore, and brutally secure your escape.
Imprisoned deep within the shifting, suffocating cells of the dungeon, you must choose your starting champion: a
Corrupted Paladin
, an
Evil Ranger
, or a
Powerful Wizard
.
