Remember Anvil Life? If you played it back in 2022, thank you — and I'm sorry it wasn't better. Over the past months I rebuilt the whole game from scratch, as a solo developer. Here's what 2.0 is about.
One more wave, or walk away now?
Pick a dungeon and how long you dare to stay. Every kill loads loot onto your back — but none of it is yours until you get out alive. Hold to the end and keep everything plus a chest. Leave early and save about half. Fall, and you leave it all behind.
15 dungeons, 5 tiers each
From Goblin Cave to the Court of the Grave King, on Normal, Nightmare, Abyss, Inferno and Sovereign. Legendary and Mythic drops get their own moment, and bosses show up when you least expect them.
Forge a legend
9 gear slots, 6 rarities, +1 to +10. The first five upgrades always hold; after that, every strike is a gamble. Tip the odds with 20 materials, runes, papers and totems — and decide whether you really want to hit that +9 to +10.
31 heroes and 25 companions
Build your roster, send your squire out to explore, trade and repair while you fight.
A casino between runs — in-game gold only
Three-seat Blackjack with Aurelia and Vesper, Texas Hold'em, a Card Table, two slot machines, the Joust, Tarot readings and a 10-game Arcade. Every table shows its real odds. No real money, no purchases.
The Duel Hall
A collectible card duel made from everything you meet in the dungeons: five lanes, element fields and a ladder of six rivals. Cards drop from your runs, and rarity means variety, not raw power.
Plays itself when you want it to
Auto Dungeon runs back-to-back while you work, browse or watch something. Switch to the tall Vertical window, pin it Always on Top at the edge of your screen, and check in whenever you like.
Also new: level cap 100, auto-equip, auto-potion, Steam Cloud saves, 12 languages, fully offline.
A free demo is on the store page, and there's a 40% discount from October 19 to 26.
If you play 2.0, an honest review — good or bad — helps a solo developer more than anything. Thank you for giving Anvil Life another chance.
