Din's Champion is a side scrolling, action RPG set in a dynamic, evolving, fantasy world.

Dynamic world

The ever devious goddess, Valta, has declared war! She is going to raze the world to the ground and build a new civilization in her dark image. Your choices and actions, or lack of, have real consequences in this dynamic, evolving, living world. This makes the world of Aleria a very dangerous place. Monsters can form uprisings, start wars, set up ambushes, and attack your town. Town NPCs can get plagues, curses, and be killed. Explosions destroy terrain. Liquids flow. Poisonous and explosive gases can build up. Sand, mud, and other loose solids can collapse. The evil gods can even unleash massive area wide cataclysms if they build up enough power!

Survival

To survive this dangerous world, you need to explore carefully, collect resources through mining, gathering, and looting, slay hundreds of types of dangerous monsters, build a town for protection, improve your character, craft cool items, dodge deadly traps, quell uprisings, flush out traitors, kill assassins, cure plagues, purge curses, end wars, and complete other dangerous quests or the danger WILL escalate. Every game is unique with different bosses, biomes, monsters, items, traps, objects, and quests.

Building

Build and defend your town from active threats trying to destroy you. The monsters ARE out to get you. They will attack. What you build to defend yourself is up to you. It can be anything from a small house to protect just your belongings, to giant towns populated by 100s of NPCs that you've rescued and equipped.

Character building

Build your character as you see fit. Choose specialties on character creation and higher levels for over 50,000 combinations! Distribute attribute and skill points as you level up. Craft armor, weapons, tools, potions, and materials to equip or use to survive.

Can you be the Champion needed to save Aleria? Can you even survive?
