Blightstone is a challenging, dark fantasy turn-based roguelike that brings unique twists to combat through freedom of character placement, interactive environments, and hardcore resource management. Dying, learning and meta-progression will be key to defeating enemies. Your mission is to protect and deliver the Earthglass Crystal to the infernal rift. Only then you can destroy the Demon Overlord and shatter the Blightstone itself.(Storyline via IGDB)
