what is Iron Descend?

Iron Descend combines idle gameplay with roguelike dungeon crawling, where heroes fight automatically and you manage upgrades and progression.

Lead a group of heroes through cursed expeditions in this prototype that mixes idle mechanics with roguelike elements. Heroes act on their own while you prepare and boost them, deciding when to advance. Each run resets gold and boosts, but permanent upgrades unlock new expeditions and improve heroes.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / RPG / Narrative / Prototype corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
