Next Run

Fantasy Roguelike Strategy RPG

by Clarus Victoria Indie Studio

About the Game

Short Description. Next Run is a fantasy strategy RPG with roguelike elements. Survive relentless waves of Hell and build your own path to victory — through force, magic, economy, or craft.

Extended Description. The Gates of Hell are open. Demons pour into the world while time works against you. Choose one of seven unique classes — Warrior, Mage, Lord, Craftsman, Leader, Necromancer, or the hardcore Peasant — and carve your way across a procedurally generated world. Fight, bribe or outmaneuver enemies, capture settlements, craft gear, recruit a squad or raise the undead, and pursue multiple victory paths: military, magical, economic, crafting, or pure survival. Play relaxed in Sandbox or test yourself in Nightmare. Every decision matters. Plan. Adapt. Survive.

Key Features

Multiple victory paths — military, magical, economic, crafting, construction, or pure survival.
