Slay or Fall Build 19773740

Slay or Fall is a text-driven roguelike with management elements that puts you in the role of the Dark Lord defending an enormous Dungeon against invading heroes. You have a limited number of events before the final confrontation, and every choice matters: the branching text events affect both your forces and the heroes, while between events you’ll handle skirmishes and political problems that shape the campaign.

Gameplay and tone
- Heavy emphasis on narrative choices and consequences-many events branch in multiple directions.
- Mix of storytelling decisions, tactical encounters, and resource/political management.
- Play as an active mastermind: cast magic, give orders to subordinates, plot schemes, and manipulate the environment to weaken or eliminate the heroes before the final clash.
Factions under your command
- Goblins: numerous and greedy; excel at generating coin and economic advantages but lack honor.
- Cultists: few but fanatically loyal dark mages who will sacrifice themselves for your cause.
- Lizards: honorable, brute-force warriors who distrust magic and specialize in logistics and frontline strength.
- Ratfolks: rebellious and hard to control, but valuable for espionage, sabotage, and assassination when subdued.
Replayability and victory options
- The game is built for repeat runs: various presets, a range of hero opponents, and event outcomes that change from playthrough to playthrough.
- Multiple paths to victory-defeat heroes in open combat, trap them inside your domain, starve them out, corrupt them, erode their morale, or engineer conspiracies and discord to make them flee.
Key features
- Text-based, branching events with significant consequences
- Roguelike structure encouraging multiple runs
- Management of four distinct subordinate factions (Goblins, Cultists, Lizards, Ratfolks)
- Tactical skirmishes between narrative events
- Political and strategic decision-making that affects the campaign
- Multiple ways to eliminate or break the heroes short of direct battle
If you prefer cunning and manipulation over straightforward heroics, Slay or Fall offers a dark, choice-driven experience where every decision can turn the tide-will your Dungeon stand, or will the heroes drag you down?
