Minerva Labyrinth
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Minerva Labyrinth is a turn-based, party-based, first-person dungeon crawler set in the near future of Earth. Take command of five warriors with incredible powers and defend humanity from an ancient enemy known as the Hate.
Hate is Forever
In the 1990s, humanity finally comes together on an unprecedented scale to confront the global climate and energy crises that threaten its future. Over fifty years later, civilization thrives worldwide in a new era of cooperation and humanism, and the recent rediscovery of ancient magic promises miraculous new advancements. Yet as human strife recedes, something dark and forgotten returns from deep in the earth...
Minerva Squad
- Create your own party from twelve classes, fourteen passive skills, and customizable stats, or jump in right away with the balanced quick-start party.
- You're not alone in your fight. Return to your allies to recover from your wounds and upgrade your equipment, from bows and swords to skirts and tiaras.
Enter the Labyrinth
- Conquer 16 fully hand-crafted dungeon levels, spanning multiple locations and biomes.
- The labyrinth itself is your enemy, but beyond traps, riddles, mazes, and grisly monsters lie valuable hidden treasures.
- Battle the Hate in fast-paced interleaved turn-based combat. Each enemy type has its own powers and tactics to counter your own, and each labyrinth has a powerful overlord waiting to crush you.
- Fully-annotated automap tracks your progress as you explore the labyrinth.
