Dverghold: Rekestt Beneath

In the shattered world of Hyrdengard, the Dwarves of Dverghold answer a royal decree to descend into Rekestt, the haunted depths beneath the fallen realm. War-weary from battles with mountain trolls, they reopen the old caverns and reclaim what darkness has taken. Adventurers from distant shores rally to stand with the dwarven crown as new terrors stir in the deep.

Gameplay at a Glance

• First-person, grid-based dungeon crawling with atmospheric lighting and oppressive passages that draw you into Rekestt’s depths.
• Turn-based, tactical combat where positioning, resource management, and careful planning decide every encounter.
• Base building between expeditions to recruit, upgrade, and prepare for the next descent.
• Persistent progression means choices matter—losses sting, gains empower your next venture.
• Randomized encounters ensure no two expeditions are the same, even as the dungeon layout remains familiar.

What You Do in Rekestt

• Assemble a diverse party from multiple character classes, each with unique abilities and synergies.
• Explore level by level, uncovering treasure, lore, and the looming dread that lies deeper.
• Confront boss encounters guarding key sections and story milestones.
• Make hard choices about spending resources to reclaim veterans or pressing on with fresh recruits.

Features in Focus

• Base-building and resource management to sustain expeditions and shape your settlement’s fate.
• Atmospheric dungeon design with lighting, sound, and a sense of creeping isolation.
• Original Dungeon Synth soundtrack by Splendorius and Kurald Galain, with an exclusive album created for the game, amplifying the fallen-kingdom mood.
• Story-driven journey through Rekestt’s abandoned halls, the living quarters, and beyond, entwined with dark mysteries and peril.

Early Access Roadmap

• Launch (Spring 2026) includes 3 dungeon levels in the Living Quarters, full combat and progression, base management, main and side quests, a boss, multiple classes, and the dungeon synth soundtrack.
• Act II: The Underground Lake introduces new levels and environments, deepening the descent.
• Act III and beyond reveal deeper corruption and eldritch horrors, guided by player feedback.
• Procedural elements and expanded content arrive during development to enrich exploration and challenge.

No hand-holding. No shortcuts. Just dwarves, ancient shadows, and the inexorable dark beneath Rekestt. Answer the call, descend, and carve your name into the chronicles of Dverghold.
