Game info

Black Dragon Mage is a gorgeous dark fantasy, action-roguelite, top-down horde shooter of the bullet heaven subgenre (aka "survivors-like"), featuring 16 bit style retro visuals and thousands of relentless demonic enemies & challenging boss fights.

Find a dragon egg, hatch it, make friends with the hatchling and grow it to become an unstoppable ally! Upgrade your mage & weapons on every level-up and pick a unique combination of ARPG-style abilities for your run.

Every death is a new opportunity to experiment and grow your might! Buy new meta-upgrades (weapons, abilities, upgrades, hats & more!) in the Hall of Relics and avenge your own death with newfound power.

Grow. Evolve. Perish. Rise Again.

- Decimate legions of demonic enemies with magic projectiles and area damage that only grows more powerful. Decipher the weaknesses of ancient and mysterious boss enemies, and bring them to their fall.

Grow your might!
- Launch increasingly large volleys of fireballs, or icy orbs that leave frosty mines and freeze foes on contact, blast the undead with your arcane beam staff or harness the dark and chaotic power of the void itself! All primary weapons can be modified through stats, but also offer special upgrade paths called Masteries to unlock their full strategic potential and add to build variety.
- Forge your own path by experimenting with your own combinations of your core arsenal & powerful ARPG-style defensive and offensive abilities such as the Shield of Frost, Summoned Flameswords, Spiral Strike, Fiery Pentagram! and more!
- Level-up your attributes, weapons and abilities with every character level during a run, customize and tweak your build until it reaches dizzying heights of power; every run marks a new beginning!
- Turn the environment to your favor using your (often outrageously explosive!) strategic genius, outmaneuver your foes by leading them into deadly traps! Laugh as you watch them hurl across the battlefield... Fools!

Endure the relentless waves, or...
- Perish and return stronger by unlocking meta-upgrades and fresh weaponry in the Hall of Relics with the gold you've gathered during your tireless runs! Grab a new hat for your mage! One even lets you turn a portion of fallen enemies into bombs that can chain-explode...
